I'm in the Red Mansion

If he did not stop it, Jia Zheng would definitely help the Zhen family hide their property after their property was ransacked.

Once someone attacks you, at the very least, you will be charged with the crime of having your property confiscated.

The political enemies of the Jia family will definitely not miss this opportunity.

But if he wanted to intervene, he would offend both Lady Jia and Jia Zheng.

Even Jia's relatives and friends would say that he was unkind and a mean person if they knew about it.

If you help, you will offend people and end up in trouble.

And if they don't help, even if the Rongguo Mansion is convicted, it will not implicate their Ningguo Mansion.

Ever since Jia Cong took over Ningguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion has been separated from its previous state.

Moreover, hiding the convicted silver was not the only crime charged at Rongguo Mansion.

In fact, they have done a lot of bad things before.

That woman, Wang Xifeng, alone accounts for almost half.

In that case, then why not just not help them?

And since the old empress dowager passed away, the ladies in the palace could no longer come back to visit their families.

Therefore, the Grand View Garden became empty.

However, in the Grand View Garden, the largest courtyard is currently still empty.

That is Yihongyuan.

After the Grand View Garden was built, Jia Baoyu originally wanted to move into the Yihong Courtyard.

However, he was stopped by Jia Cong. In order to avoid suspicion, Jia Cong did not move in, so Yihong Courtyard became empty.

Now the empress will not come back to visit her parents for the time being, and Jia Cong knows that it is not just temporary, she will never come back in the future.

The Grand View Garden actually completely belongs to the Ningguo Mansion.

Therefore, Jia Cong decided to move the office of Daxia Monthly directly into Yihongyuan.

This way, you don't have to change locations every day.

When the sisters get married and leave the Grand View Garden, they can even move directly here to live.

And because there was no need to visit their parents, all officials' families who kept male and female actors were exempted from being sent away.

Therefore, Mrs. Mei called Jia Cong and Lin Daiyu to discuss the matter.

Speaking of which, neither Mrs. Mei nor Lin Daiyu, the mother-in-law or daughter-in-law, are no meddlesome people.

A few days after Lin Daiyu got married, Mrs. Mei wanted to hand over the management power of the inner house to her.

Lin Daiyu tried to refuse in every possible way. Seeing that she really didn't want to be the housekeeper and was also a little weak, Mrs. Mei did not force her.

From this we can see that neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law has much pursuit of power.

After the two of them arrived, Mrs. Mei asked, "Now that other families have dismissed their actors, what do we say?"

Jia Cong could not help but say: "These people were originally bought from Jiangnan. Although they don't learn to sing now, they are all daughters of good families."

"Mother, if you see anything good in there, just keep it and use it. Our family doesn't lack this little money."

Lin Daiyu said, "Those who learn to play the opera are not as good as servants. They are also children of good families. They are sold to do this job because they have no ability."

"After years of playing dirty tricks, now that we have this opportunity, why not give them a few taels of silver for their expenses and let them go."

Mrs. Mei couldn't help but say, "My son, what you said is quite reasonable. Now we will ask her twelve questions as well."

"If anyone wants to go back, they can take a letter and ask their parents to come and take them back in person, and give them a few taels of silver for travel expenses, and that will be all right."

"If we don't invite her parents and relatives, I'm afraid some bastard will take her name and sell her again. Wouldn't that be a waste of this grace? If anyone doesn't want to go back, let them stay."

After hearing this, Jia Cong said, "That's all."

Next, Mrs. Mei called the twelve girls to ask them face to face, and more than half of them did not want to go home.

Some also said that although we had parents, they only cared about selling us out, and this time we were sold out again by them.

Some of them have lost their parents or have been sold by their uncles or brothers.

Some said that there was no one to join them, and some said that they were reluctant to leave because of their attachment to their friends. Only four or five people were willing to leave.

Mrs. Mei had no choice but to keep the people. She asked the godmothers to take the four or five people who were leaving home and wait for their parents to come and pick them up.

Those who did not want to leave were dispersed in the garden and used as servants.

Mrs. Mei then left the civil officials to work for her and assigned the leading female role Fangguan to Jia Cong, and the young male role Ouguan and the young female role Ruiguan to Daiyu.

The big-flowered sunflower was given to Xiangyun, the small-flowered bean-shaped bean was given to Baoqin, and the foreigner Ai was given to Tanchun.

Finally, the role of the old woman was assigned to Xichun.

Everyone is in his or her proper place right now, just like a tired bird out of a cage, playing in the garden every day.

Everyone knew that they could not sew and were not used to using it, so no one blamed them too much.

It is said that when Fang Guan entered Jia Cong's room, she encountered Qingwen's temper.

Within a few days, the two of them became very familiar with each other, as if they had been close friends since childhood.

……

However, the Daxia Monthly News had already finished the content of the third issue.

Then Jia Cong asked Xue Baoqin to print 20,000 copies.

Xue Baoqin couldn't help but ask, "Brother Cong, didn't you say that we would sell it starting from the third phase?"

"If we print 20,000 copies, will that be too much? I'm afraid we won't be able to sell that many copies, right?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. At the beginning, we naturally can't sell so many."

"Someone will come and buy it later."

"And even if you can't sell it for the time being, it doesn't matter. Just seal it up and wait a few years or even decades. I'm afraid the price will increase many times!"

Although 20,000 copies are a lot, if the market is placed in the entire Daxia, it is not much.

What’s more, these are just the first few issues, and only 20,000 copies of each issue were printed.

Even if it cannot be sold now, its value will surely increase many times in a dozen or so years.

After hearing this, Xue Baoqin did as she was told even though she didn't understand.

A few days later, 20,000 copies of the Daxia Monthly had been printed.

It’s time to distribute the Daxia Monthly Newsletter again.

The scholars on the street immediately rushed out of their homes, ready to grab the Daxia Monthly News.

Even the illiterate people rushed out of their homes.

Although they are illiterate, they cannot get newspapers.

But at least I can hear the latest story of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

What will happen when the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan find Guo Jing's family?
They have been suffering for a whole month, and today they finally get the answer.

They were soon dumbfounded.

Because today was the day for distributing the Daxia Monthly Newspaper, but they didn't see anyone distributing newspapers on the street.

This gave them an uneasy feeling.

This newspaper is distributed in large quantities at one time.

Just printing these newspapers would probably cost a lot of money.

What's more, these people also cost money.

Could it be that they were simply dragged down and collapsed?

If that's the case, won't they be able to see the sequel to The Legend of the Condor Heroes?
This, this is really terrible!

Suddenly, someone pointed at a shop at the corner of the street and shouted, "Look over there!"

Everyone looked over when they heard this and saw the words "Daxia Monthly News Sales Point" written in large letters outside the shop.

This scene immediately made them confused and uncertain.

Does it mean that starting from this issue, the Daxia Monthly Newsletter will no longer be given away for free, but will have to be purchased? (End of this chapter)
