The blessing of the Qing Dynasty is difficult to pass

Chapter 479 Hongshi
Shu Yao and Wan Ning were pregnant almost at the same time, which proved that the medicinal wine that Yi Rao sent out was very effective, Yi Rao was very happy, it was good that it was not wasted, and the two families would have a lot of joy again.

"Honghui now has to ask every day, when will the little brother come out." Wanning said with a smile, her temperament matched her name very well, she was gentle and peaceful, very comfortable.

"Second Master, I also hope that I will have a son this time." Shu Yao's cheeks flushed.Now that Yinfeng has changed his ways, he is a completely different person than before. It seems that he can look forward to the future.

"It's good to be pregnant, good to be pregnant." Yi Rao smiled, and was really happy for them. Women in ancient times were difficult, and their offspring and husbands were the foundation of their foothold. Let alone Wanning, after Li's quarrel, she almost won Yin Zhen's independence. However, Shu Yao had a hard time, with only one little Miaoyi under her knees, and Yinfeng, a master who can accommodate both men and women, hoped that Shu Yao's baby would be a boy.

After the third bath, Yi Rao's life returned to normal, because of her confinement, she was trapped in the house every day and it was difficult to go out, it was very boring, but fortunately it was not summer, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable.

Trapped in the room and unable to get out, Yi Rao's greatest pleasure every day is on Hongshi. That's right, the newborn baby is called Hongshi.

Yinxiang reported to Kangxi early in the morning that he wanted to name the newborn baby himself. Kangxi didn't care about this and agreed to him painfully. After thinking about it all night, Yinxiang named the newborn baby: Hongshi.

Beginning, beginning, means that everything in the past is forgotten, this life is a new life, and everything starts anew.

Yin Xiang thinks that this name is well chosen and has a profound meaning, but Yi Rao has been making complaints about it for many days, Hong Shi, if she only listens to the syllables and does not look at the shape of the characters, she only thinks of shit...

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

The eldest son is called Hongdan, which sounds like bastard, and the second son is called Hongshi, which sounds like Hongshi.

It hurts.

"Oh, when will the youngest son communicate with us?" Yi Rao sighed. According to the situation of twins, normal communication would have to wait at least two years.

Oh, her unsatisfied gossip!

After many days of buffering, Yinxiang has been able to treat Hongshi with a normal attitude, at least not to regard him as the murderous maniac recorded in the history books. "What's the hurry, take your time."

"Oh, you don't understand me." Yi Rao shook her head. Recently, she suddenly remembered an article she read in her previous life. She wanted to ask Hongshi for verification, and wanted to know the real historical truth.

Yi Rao said casually, but Yin Xiang became interested, he looked at Yi Rao, and said, "Tell me, I don't understand you, I'm all ears."

Yi Rao looked at Yin Xiang with a little surprise, then shook her head and denied, "Actually, you already know me very well."

"No, no, actually, I want to understand you better."

Yi Rao rolled her eyes and changed the subject, "When are you going to the Ministry of Officials?" She is confinement, but Yin Xiang has been staying with her in the mansion these days, it's not normal, it's not normal, Yin Xiang doesn't need to rest maternity leave.

"I don't have anything to do recently. I can take a few days off. If Huang Ama doesn't ask, those colleagues won't take the initiative to tell him." Yinxiang smiled helplessly, and changed the subject according to Yirao's wishes.

"It's not good for you to be like this. How can you live the life of an old man at such a young age? You should do more for the common people." The legendary fourth and thirteenth masters are both workaholics, but how can Yin Xiang They all look like idle young people.

"The new year is over, the assessment of officials from all over the country has passed, and the transfer order has been issued. There is really nothing important recently. I am a member of the official department, so it is not easy to meddle in other affairs. There are so many people watching." If you care too much, people will hate you.

In fact, he really wants to go to the Ministry of Accounts. The Ministry of Accounts has been very busy recently. In the past two years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and money has been used everywhere. Yinzhen went to collect debts.

Debt collection, this is a technical job, Yinxiang is eager to try, and really wants to show his skills, he has plenty of ways to deal with those old foxes.But Kangxi didn't mention his name, it happened that Yiluo gave birth to another child, and after a few days, if the officials were still free, he would go to Kangxi, and Mao recommended himself to follow Yinzhen to collect debts.

But talking about debt collection, Yinxiang thought of another thing. He had paid special attention to it before, and he said, "I remember that the Rongguo Mansion once borrowed 20 taels of money from the treasury. Ama ordered the fourth brother to recover the national debt, and you should send a letter to the Rongguo Mansion and ask them to return the money quickly."

"Ah?" Yi Rao was shocked, why hadn't she heard of this before?I have no impression at all, did she not read "A Dream of Red Mansions" carefully?
20!This is not a small amount, the Rongguo Mansion embezzled the Lin family's millions of property, and after more than two years of squandering, they don't know how much is left.

"You send them a letter through your younger siblings, telling them to quickly raise money and pay off their debts. It's only right and proper. Don't try to avoid it by procrastinating. Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back."

"Okay." Yi Rao agreed, the reasoning is like this, but there are too many thick-skinned people, especially those from Rongguo Mansion, they are all the best.

The next day, Yinxiang went to the Ministry of Officials on business, and Yirao sent people to invite Ma Jiashi and Lin Daiyu. After they were seated, Yirao relayed Yinxiang's explanation to Lin Daiyu, and asked her to pick a day to visit Rongguo Mansion in person.

After hearing this, Ma Jia was speechless for a while, and then said after a long time, "I actually borrowed 20... This family usually lives on silver."

Lin Daiyu heard the words, and said, "Grandma's house, the daily expenses are really too much." She listed all kinds of extravagant and wasteful behaviors in Rongguo Mansion, "Every season, I have to re-make clothes and jewelry. There are eight sets of new shirts, not to mention my aunts and ancestors, many of them were worn only once and never worn again. There are also daily food expenses, an ordinary crab feast costs 20 taels, and a eggplant meal costs [-] taels. Several kinds of ingredients are spent, and the people in my cousin's room often accidentally break some valuables, and any one of them costs dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver.

Lin Daiyu came to the capital and lived in Rongguo Mansion all the time. Seeing the prosperity of Rongguo Mansion, she thought it was the same everywhere else, but after staying in the Palace of Thirteen Commanderies for a while, she realized that things were not what she thought. The county prince's mansion is not as particular about the daily food as the little Rongguo mansion.

Later, she got married and moved to Zhaojia Mansion. Ma Jia is a person who knows how to live, budgets carefully and rarely wastes money. She feels the extravagance of Rongguo Mansion even more. Those clothes and jewellery, rouge and gouache, calligraphy and painting antiques, utensils and daily meals, which one is it? You don't need silver, but are you drinking silver?
