Reborn in the last years of Kangxi
Chapter 664 Striving for Innovation
Chapter 664 Striving for Innovation
Rehe Palace, Sizhi Bookstore.
Kangxi sat on the kang. In front of him, besides Song Zhu, a scholar, and Cao Yin, a servant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Tingyu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and the censor who impeached Cao Yin were in front of him.
From the censor's opening, Zhang Tingyu knew it was going to be bad.
After all, the two are still the same age.If in private, Zhang Tingyu can still remind him if he is not in order; this is in front of the emperor, who dares to say more.
Kangxi asked Cao Yin, Cao Yin only said that it was miscellaneous grains, but the censor didn't give up, and pointed out that the Minister of the Ministry of War who had eaten it was a witness.
The Minister of the Ministry of War has gone out on an errand, and he is not at the palace, otherwise there will be a good show of "confrontation in court".
Just in time for Elder Sixteen to report something to Kangxi, Kangxi asked him to go to Cao's house to fetch food.
After Elder Sixteen opened the food box and placed the plate of black corn bread and small pickles on the kang table, both Cao Yin and Zhang Tingyu sighed inwardly.
On Cao Yin's side, he didn't want to make things big.
A while ago, the kitchen was negligent and pulled down a food box, causing him to eat a bun.When he got home, he knew that his son made it to educate his grandchildren, and he agreed in his heart.
This is a family matter, and it is uncomfortable to be involved in the Yamen.
If people misunderstand, it is inevitable that they will be suspected of inviting names.
On Zhang Tingyu's side, he knew that he might not be able to get it in the same year, even if he kept Wusha, the impression of showing off in front of the imperial court was to be left.
Although the censor has the right to hear about things, he must follow the wishes of his superiors.Otherwise, like this lord, looking at Cao Yin's usual innocence, he would treat him as a soft persimmon, afraid that he would steal the chicken and lose everything.
"It's better to be silent than ten thousand words," Zhang Tingyu told himself in his heart.Although he is currently listed as a vacancy for a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy, he has been on duty in the South Study Room for many years, and he is working as a cabinet bachelor's errand by the side of the emperor.
"That's it?" Kangxi pointed to the cornbread and asked the censor.
Seeing such a serious matter, the censor was a little uncertain, but he didn't dare to change his words, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "If you go back to the emperor, this looks the same as before, is it specific? I still have to ask Mr. Cao."
Kangxi snorted coldly and asked Cao Yin, "Cao Yin, is this the 'luxury food' you ate the day before yesterday?"
Cao Yin raised his head and took a look at the wotou, he certainly wouldn't admit his mistake.After eating such a cornbread the day before yesterday, he didn't free his hands all day yesterday, and his stomach was swollen for a long time.
"If you go back to the emperor, this is exactly what the slaves ate the day before yesterday. It's just a cornbread made of coarse grains. Mr. Jin has never seen it before, so there is a misunderstanding." Cao Yin said.
Kangxi glanced at Elder Sixteen, and said, "What does Cao Yong say? Could it be that the livelihood is so difficult, and this is used as my father's ration? Who is this for?" At the end, there was already a little anger.
After listening to the sixteenth elder brother, he knew that the emperor Ama had to be more careful, so he hurriedly explained the reason why Cao Yong made people make this "remembering bitterness and thinking sweet" Wotou for the sake of training his son.
The censor surnamed Jin was already covered in ashes.
Although Cao Yin knew the reason, but after listening to Brother Sixteen, he was still a little proud.Even if the son is sensible, the grandchildren will not be able to get used to being a dude.
When Kangxi heard this, no joy or anger could be seen on his face, and when he looked at the Yushi again, his eyes were already a bit sharper.
The matter of impeachment is over.
As for the censor who impeached Cao Yin, it cannot be said that he was a false accusation, and Kangxi was too lazy to attack him on the spot.
Wei Zhu came in and reported, "My Majesty, the princes and all the civil and military officials have come here according to the order and are waiting outside."
"Xuan!" Kangxi said in a deep voice.
After a while, I heard rustling footsteps, and many princes and ministers came in one by one, lined up left and right, knelt down on the ground, and respectfully greeted Sheng An.
Those with sharp eyes saw the corn-bread pickles on the kang table, and thought that there was everything in their hearts.
Kangxi stood up, his face could not hide his anger, talking about the matter of praying for rain in the capital, he said: "All the ministers of the Ministry know that they are asking for money and bribes, and they are only at home, and they may not come to the place where they pray for rain."
After talking about the ministers in the capital, Kangxi reprimanded Song Zhu head and face. From the time he worshiped Li Guangshui in everything, to the time when he was married to Gali and served his second elder brother, the more he said, the more he was charged with crimes.
Song Zhu had already knelt on the ground, kowtowed to plead guilty, but in his heart he hated that censor surnamed Jin.
Although the emperor was really upset about the lack of rain in the capital, if it wasn't for the boy surnamed Jin who made such a drama of impeachment early in the morning, how could the emperor be so angry.
At the end of Kangxi's reprimand, he was also a bit angry, and said: "Suo'etu, Gali, and Zhen are all punished. Isn't Songzhu even worse than Suo'etu and Gali? I can't punish them? You are afraid of Yixiang. The Blue Flag Party?"
When Song Zhu heard that the emperor compared himself with Suo'etu and Gali, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak for mercy.
Who are Suo'etu and Gali?One of his descendants was beheaded, and he was put to death in a big prison;
Although he took Li Guangdi as the leader in everything after he became a bachelor, it was because he was afraid of messing up his job.Who made Li Guangdi a roly-poly in the officialdom and a well-known favorite of the emperor?
This sentence not only terrified the scholar Song Zhu, but also made the third elder brother and several officials of Xianglan Banner break into a cold sweat.
What is the emperor afraid of?Fearing that the courtiers will form a party and shake the court.
What are the ministers afraid of?Fear of "partisan struggle", and fear that the emperor will use "partisan struggle" as an excuse to eliminate unsatisfactory officials.
Throughout the dynasties, where there are people, there will inevitably be cliques.
Speaking of others, they are just records in the book, and they are read as stories.In the early years, the battle between Suo'etu and Mingzhu was witnessed by many courtiers.
Many courtiers ruined their future because of the name of "forming a party".
Third elder brother here, as the prince elder brother, he has to be named Prince Heshuo, so he is not worried that he will lose the favor of the imperial father.
After hearing Kangxi's words, he was vigilant.
The elder brother who was circled and the second elder brother who was deposed are both inlaid with blue flags, which is really unlucky to say.
However, is it to declare that after the elder brother and the second elder brother have no hope of retaining the throne, he, the eldest prince, is destined to belong to heaven?To inherit the imperial line?
The third elder brother was struggling in his heart, whether he should be worried or happy, and suddenly thought that there were not only three princes in Xianglanqi, but also the fourteenth elder brother.
Thinking of Elder Fourteen's favor and Concubine De's status in the palace, Third Elder Brother couldn't help feeling a little wary.
Although the four concubines are in charge of palace affairs in the harem in name, in fact it is still dominated by concubines Yi and Concubine De.Concubine Hui is the biological mother of the elder brother and the adoptive mother of the eighth elder brother. Both sons were rejected by the emperor. How can she be a concubine?
Although he was not thrown into the cold palace, the people in the palace are the most powerful.Although he didn't dare to break the rules, no one wanted to flatter and pay attention.
Concubine Hui could only be silent, staying in her palace all day, eating fast and chanting Buddha.
Concubine Rong, the mother of the third elder brother, was the first person in the harem favored by Kangxi, and was two years older than Kangxi.Five sons and one daughter were born in succession, among which the first four princes all died young, and only the eldest daughter and the youngest son grew up, namely the third princess and the third elder brother.
Chengrui, Kangxi's actual eldest son, was born of Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong's body was severely damaged by the pain of successive births and bereavements.In addition, she is more than 60 years old, she is old, lacks energy, and rarely intervenes in palace affairs.
The remaining concubines Yi and Concubine De don't have the name of empress, but they have the identity of empress.
The fourteenth elder brother is the youngest son of the concubine De, and he has formed a party with the eighth elder brother, ninth elder brother, and tenth elder brother.Since the eighth elder brother fell silent, the fourteenth elder brother has been replaced.
Unlike the eighth elder brother who came from a humble background, the fourteenth elder brother, like the third elder brother, was born of the fourth concubine. Except that he was not entrusted, his identity was generally the same.
In addition, the fourteenth elder brother is young and has been raised in the palace for many years, so he is closer to the emperor's father than the third elder brother.
The third elder brother has already made a small calculation in his heart, it seems that he needs to have a brother to help him; he also needs to keep an eye on the old fourteen at all times, so as not to let him take advantage of the loopholes.
They are all princes, so the so-called being favored and not being favored is not because the fourteenth and sixteenth elder brothers are younger than the older elder brothers.When they were young, the emperor's father was already over half a hundred years old, and he had a more loving heart for his children.
Thinking of this, the third elder brother glanced at the sixteenth elder brother standing beside him.
Although his background is not as good as that of the fourteenth elder brother, when it comes to pleasing the emperor's father, the sixteenth elder brother is even better.
If you can attract the sixteenth elder brother to help, even if you can't compete with the eighth elder brother and others behind the fourteenth elder brother, you can still say a few more good words in front of the emperor...
The sixteenth elder brother looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, making a gesture of obedience.Hearing Kangxi reprimanding the ministers in his ears, what he thought was Cao Yong's "prescription for training sons".
His bastard son Hongpu was already four years old, and he was just at the peak of naughtiness.All day long, people have turned upside down at Elder Brother's place, so he should be disciplined.
Go back and feed the little guy corn bread for two days. I don't know if the little guy dares to be naughty?
Except that Mrs. Li, the side Fujin, is pregnant, just arrived in Rehe this time, and the sixteenth Fujin is also pregnant.Calculated, the time difference between Li Shi and Fujin's pregnancy was not more than two months.
Elder Sixteen is also very contradictory in his heart, he is looking forward to Fujin giving birth to a son-in-law, fulfilling Fujin's hope, but also afraid that having a son-in-law will put Hongpu in an embarrassing situation and make Fang Fujin Li's heartbroken.
For other people, it would not be so embarrassing to have ten or eight sons.
Brother Sixteen didn't know whether he should lament his passion, or scold him for being too deeply influenced by Cao Yong and being too soft-hearted. As a child of the Aixinjueluo family, isn't his task to reproduce?
Thinking of this, Elder Sixteen laughed at himself more in his heart, and felt a little less guilty towards Mrs. Li.
There are a few people in this world who can do whatever they want, but they can't help themselves. Why bother to think hard, no matter how much you think, it's useless.
Whether it is a son or a daughter, it is still up to the destiny.
It is also not possible to hope that Fujin will not have a male just because of the consideration of Li Shi and Hongpu's mother and son, how cruel it is to Fujin.
Brother Sixteen was thinking about it, and he felt a little uncomfortable all over his body.He raised his head, just in time to meet the eyes of the third elder brother.
Seeing that the third elder brother's expression is full of intimacy, the sixteenth elder brother is a little confused, not knowing what new tricks this third elder brother is playing.He is not tired of always tidying up the garden and respectfully inviting Shengjia to visit the garden. Brother Sixteen feels bored every time he goes with Shengjia.
The kind of "happy" "family relationship between father and son" deliberately made makes people feel fake and tired.
Just when the princes and courtiers below had their own ghosts, Kangxi had already spoken eloquently, saying: "Among the ministers of Manchuria, there is no one who can convince the ministers of Han. Because I still use Ma Qi as a scholar of the Wuying Temple and the Minister of the Household Department, Mu He Lun is the Minister of the Household Department. After writing Songzhu, he will go to the capital immediately and ask who is the person who uses the words of unbearable prayers, and who is the one who prays for the rain. And punish him, Chen Mingxia is Yi's example."
When it came to the end, Kangxi's eyebrows and eyes were raised, and his voice was sharp.
Song Zhu was already in a cold sweat from fright, and received Kangxi's oral order tremblingly.
Brother Sixteen paid special attention when he heard Ma Qi's reinstatement.Because of this, the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be vacant.The chief managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are already concerned about it, and Ma Qi is considered one of them who is willing to contribute.
If someone else leaves, it may be possible to fill in immediately; for Ma Qi, it seems that either there is an official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who wants to be promoted, or someone from outside will fill the vacancy.
When Cao Yin heard about Ma Qi, he thought of something else.
The emperor hated the eighth elder brother so much that he couldn't tolerate his henchmen standing in court.Otherwise, there would be no excuses to make both Kui Xu and A Ling a "sick" and not come out.
Who is Ma Qi?It was the person who took the lead in recommending the eight princes after the crown prince was abolished, and the backbone of the eight princes' party.He was also convicted for this, and he was dismissed from the position of a bachelor and imprisoned.
Although it recovered later, the holy family was not as good as before.
Now at this time, when the eighth elder brother has been silent for several years, and several high-ranking officials of the eighth elder brother's party have all fallen, Ma Qi has been restored to the university.
If Ma Qi didn't show his loyalty, how could the emperor tolerate him?
It seems that the eighth elder brother is completely hopeless in reserve.In Cao Yin's mind, he couldn't help thinking of what his son said when the father and son went to Beijing on the same boat in the 52nd year of Kangxi...
Since the eighth elder brother has no hope of seizing the reserve, the Li family will continue to be tied to this boat, and they may sink with it.
Although Cao Yin had sent letters and persuaded him too much, but Li Xu was originally stubborn, and he became more and more reluctant to listen to persuasion as he got older.
Although these years, Cao Yin and Li Xu also had quarrels and suspicions, but after all, they have known each other for decades and they are relatives. Could it be that they really watched him die of cold and starvation when he was exiled in Ninggu Pagoda in his rare years?
The emperor's enjoyment is long, and if he really lives for a year, he will still have five or six years to spare.
Among the remaining princes, the fourth elder brother is the most diligent in his errands and the most low-key in his actions. It is not without reason that he can stand out...
Cao Yin was thinking like this, but he didn't realize that he had accepted his son's "dream talk" without knowing it...
*
The capital, Cao's mansion, the residence of Gao Taijun.
Xiangyu looked at the "nine rice dumplings" wrapped in colorful silk threads in front of her, with a look of curiosity on her face.Gao Taijun looked calm, looked at Zijing and said: "Did your wife write a letter, how is the condition of brother and daughter-in-law?"
Zijing replied with a smile: "This servant came to pay respects to the Majesty, it is precisely for this purpose. The family letter from the wife and grandma has arrived, and grandma is safe and sound, but she has to rest in Rehe for the time being." Speaking of this, she He took out Li's family letter to Gao Taijun from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands.
Gao Taijun accepted the letter, nodded and said: "It's good to be safe. If you are young, if you sit down and get sick, the whole family will be anxious."
In the letter, apart from greeting Gao Taijun, the rest is to report the safety over there, and talk about the festival and so on.
Gao Taijun looked at it, and said to Zijing: "Your wife is really too. The family of four has left. In such a big mansion, all the housework is entrusted to you, a girl's house. It is enough to make people feel bad, and you are also troubled."
After hearing this, Zijing hurriedly said: "Slaves don't dare to be tired, it's all done by slaves. Besides, the wife can be so relieved when the majesty is in charge of the mansion. Before the wife left, she told the servants that if there is any problem, please The Taijun is the master. Otherwise, the servants will only have their own size, and the servants will have no idea."
"I'm a bad old woman, and I'm not from your Cao family. If I talk too much, wouldn't it be annoying?" Gao lowered her eyelids and said, "I'm just borrowing a room from you. What are you supposed to do? No need. Pay attention to the old lady."
What she said was blunt and ugly, Zijing, as a servant, couldn't say anything more, so she changed the subject and said with a smile: "I wanted to ask the old lady to show me during the festival, so I invited an opera troupe to the house to sing for a long time. The play. Because the notice of the imperial court ordering to pray for rain has been issued, and the family of the scholar-bureaucrats prohibits banquets, so this play cannot be seen. If the old matriarch does not think we are disturbing, the slaves and maidservants will come to beg the old matriarch with Grandma Tian and Aunt Qiu. How about some wine?"
Xiangyu was listening, with a look of anticipation on her face, she asked in a low voice, "Auntie, are Niu Niu and Zuo Cheng brothers coming too?"
The children in the mansion, except Niuniu who is called Zijing's "sister", all of them follow Tianyou and Hengsheng and call Zijing "aunt", and Xiangyu is the same.
Zijing glanced at Gao Taijun, seeing that she didn't mean to be unhappy, she smiled and said to Xiangyu: "If Taijun and Miss Biao don't mind making a fuss, everyone will come. It's a festival, so there are many people to be lively."
Xiangyu was already overjoyed, she turned around and pulled Gao Taijun's lapel, and said helplessly, "Old Ancestor..."
Seeing Xiangyu like this, Gao Taijun nodded slowly.Seeing Zijing, she felt relieved.
It wasn't that she was busy, but she insisted on getting everyone together for dinner, it was Li Shi and Chu Yu's instructions in the letter.It is said that old people are most afraid of loneliness, the festival is too deserted, and they are afraid that the elderly will be hurt by the scene, so they let Zijing do a good job.
Except for Gao Taijun, the rest of the Tian family and Lianqiu sisters are all widows, strangely deserted.In previous years, it was good for everyone to spend the holidays together, but this year the mansion is mostly empty, if no one is there, everyone is in their own room, and there is no meaning of celebrating the holidays.
Zijing wanted to hire a good theater troupe, but she didn't expect to send people out to look for it, and even got the news that the scholar-bureaucrats were banned from listening to operas and feasting.There is really no way, so I can only take the second place and prepare for the meal.
Coming out from Gao Taijun's side, Zijing went to Tian's and Lianqiu's place again, and talked about the Dragon Boat Festival dinner in Gao Taijun's house.
Cao Yin's couple and Cao Yong's couple were not there, Gao Taijun was the elder in the mansion, Tian's and Lianqiu's sisters naturally had nothing to say.
When Zijing returned to the sunflower courtyard, a daughter-in-law came to ask for instructions.
Most of them are human relations during the festival, some gifts are sent out, and some are received.Whether it was sent out or received back, Zijing would go through it personally, and asked people to keep the accounts, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
In addition to these, there are also festival rewards for servants in the mansion.
Needless to say, there are old examples to follow.A few of them have done well this year's errands, and Zijing has already written to Mrs. Li to ask for instructions, adding a few taels of silver.
Zijing has already heard about Cao Xiang taking a concubine on the fourth day of May and leaving Beijing to serve outside Beijing on the sixth day of May.Due to the rush of time, it was too late to write to Rehe for instructions at this time.
Speaking of which, the nephew of the Cao family, Cao Xiang was not the first to be let go, and Cao Yong was in front.
It's just that Cao Yong is the eldest son of the eldest son, and Cao Yin and Li Shi are parents. There is no comparison between the things prepared for the son and the gifts for the nephew.
Even though Mrs. Li had explained her relationship before leaving Beijing, and let Zijing watch and consider it, Zijing didn't dare to be self-reliant, so she searched for old rules, or drew up a list based on the etiquette of mutual exchanges in recent years.
Like Cao Xiang, they are close relatives of flesh and blood, and the only thing that can be referred to is the congratulatory ceremony when Cao Song and Cao Shuo got married.
But taking a concubine is not as good as getting married, and it's also different from being at home.
After spending a lot of thought, Zijing finally finalized the gift list.
Cao Yin, as his uncle, in his name, gave two good inkstones and two boxes of high-quality Hu brushes; for Li, he chose two sets of ready-made clothes and a few pieces of materials; Cao Yong, the cousin Cheng Yi was given silver coins; Chu Yu gave Cao Xiang two sets of official uniforms and a set of jewelry for the new aunt.
As the inner housekeeper, Zijing knew the news, but also had to add a gift herself.Cao Xiang was given a pair of paperweights, and the bride was given a pair of golden gourd earrings and a set of combs.
The preparations are ready, Zijing has been packed, so that it can be delivered to Dongfu on the fourth day of the lunar new year.
Another daughter-in-law came to ask for instructions on housework, and Zijing was busy, when she saw a maid came to report that it was Han Jiangshi who was waiting for Zijing in the front yard.
The two just met a few days ago, could something be wrong?
On April 28th, the opening day of the new store in Daoxiang Village, Zijing went to Han Jiang's mansion to listen to a play. After all, her status was limited, so she couldn't rest assured that she was here in the mansion, so she left after sitting for a while and then went back home.
When they arrived at the side hall of the front yard, Han Jiangshi was standing and waiting, without removing the veil on his face.
"Grandma Han, is something wrong? It's so hot, sit down and talk quickly." Zijing greeted her while asking someone to prepare herbal tea and fruit plate.
Han Jiangshi didn't sit down, and said: "Miss, there are several mule carts outside, with silver on them, can you please count and store them here?"
"Silver?" Zijing was quite surprised when she heard this.
According to the previously agreed rules, accounts are settled three times a year, during Qingming, Mid-Autumn Festival and Xiaonian.
Because a new shop will be added this year, Qingming's account has been settled, but the money has not been settled.This new shop has only been open for a few days, so why is it necessary to count the money?
"The business in the past few days has been good, and a lot of money has been accumulated in the shop. I'm afraid that I will attract Xiaoxiao, so I think it's better to send it to the house for safe storage." Seeing Zijing's doubts, Han Jiang explained.
"It's only four or five days of work?" Zijing heard this, and couldn't help sighing: "It's still Grandma Han who knows how to do business, and even our young ladies and young masters can say that Jiuzizong is the right match." , she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Grandma Han, how much money is this?"
"The money was exchanged for silver in the bank, and there were a total of more than 600 taels. The fraction of 8000 was kept, and this time I sent [-] taels." Han Jiangshi said.
After hearing this, Zijing smiled and said, "Grandma Han's way of earning money can catch up with our uncle. I'll call someone to open the warehouse..."
There are several silver vaults, two of which contain antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as large unused furniture, and only one for silver.
Cao's family didn't have much cash, some were in Wei Xin's place in the south, and some were in Cao Fang's side to handle other scattered businesses of Cao's family.
Chuyu's salary goes into the internal treasury, not the general treasury.The salaries of both Cao Yin and his son were not enough for the family's expenses, and Zhuangzi's money had to be used to fill the hole every year.
After the money sent by Han Jiang's envoys has been counted and put into the treasury, this treasury will be worthy of its name.
Seeing this, Han Jiangshi was quite embarrassed.I didn't expect the Cao family to have such a big appearance, just this little family background.
When I was in Jiangning in the early years, I heard that the Cao family was rich, and that Cao Yin was greedy for ink. Now it seems that the rumors are not credible.
As for Cao Yin, Han Jiang's family only met Cao Yin by accident when he came to Cao's house, but he had dealt with Cao Yong several times.
The dragon begets the dragon, and the phoenix begets the phoenix. If Cao Yin is really a greedy and despicable person, how could Cao Yong be any better?
As the Father sees the Son, the Son also sees the Father.
If Cao Yong was really a greedy person, he would not have borrowed from himself in a fair and cooperative way in Jiangning.
If it were someone else, Xu would also take into account the Cheng family's background.
The Cao family was powerful in the south of the Yangtze River back then.Not to mention that Han Jiang's family is the niece of the Cheng family's branch, even if she is the daughter of the Cheng family's direct branch, if the Cao family sent someone to come and say something, the Cheng family would be eager to send their daughter to the door.
It's the same in the capital, with the status of the Cao family, there is no need to partner with others at all, isn't it because of her uncle's face?
Afterwards, because of Han Jiang's fault, right and wrong came out, Cao Yong only warned sincerely, and did not reprimand and abuse Han Jiang's as a subordinate.
Han Jiangshi is not a fool, he knows his fault, so he can't wait to make up for it.
Seeing that Zijing asked someone to put the 8000 taels of silver separately, Han Jiang said: "Girl, you don't have to do this. When the Mid-Autumn Festival is done, I will dig out this share. There is no need to divide it again. These few days are the holidays." Because of this, I sell a lot more silver than usual every day. After a while, the silver will be less, and it should be more than usual. If it is convenient for the girl, I will send it at the end of every month."
Zijing smiled and said: "Grandma Han misunderstood, it's not because she was thinking about splitting the accounts between the two. It was the uncle who explained it at the beginning. The business of this Daoxiang Village was paid by the grandma. The money she earned was also given to the grandma. It’s not inconvenient for grandma to send money if she wants to give it away, so there’s no one who can’t pick it up?”
Although Chuyu was the one who came forward about the shop's business before, Han Jiangshi only let his wife deal with him as Cao Yong kept the etiquette and paid attention to the defense of men and women.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that this business is the private house of the princess. In Han Jiang's heart, he doesn't know whether it is envy or something else...
*
I struggled for 100 hours, slept three to four hours a day, didn't eat much, and there are still [-] words left from Xiaojiu's promise, and I will make up tomorrow.Ask in a low voice, can you call for a guaranteed monthly pass for October?Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, Xiaojiu Shiyue's motivation is the monthly pass in everyone's hands, thank you. .
(End of this chapter)
Rehe Palace, Sizhi Bookstore.
Kangxi sat on the kang. In front of him, besides Song Zhu, a scholar, and Cao Yin, a servant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Tingyu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and the censor who impeached Cao Yin were in front of him.
From the censor's opening, Zhang Tingyu knew it was going to be bad.
After all, the two are still the same age.If in private, Zhang Tingyu can still remind him if he is not in order; this is in front of the emperor, who dares to say more.
Kangxi asked Cao Yin, Cao Yin only said that it was miscellaneous grains, but the censor didn't give up, and pointed out that the Minister of the Ministry of War who had eaten it was a witness.
The Minister of the Ministry of War has gone out on an errand, and he is not at the palace, otherwise there will be a good show of "confrontation in court".
Just in time for Elder Sixteen to report something to Kangxi, Kangxi asked him to go to Cao's house to fetch food.
After Elder Sixteen opened the food box and placed the plate of black corn bread and small pickles on the kang table, both Cao Yin and Zhang Tingyu sighed inwardly.
On Cao Yin's side, he didn't want to make things big.
A while ago, the kitchen was negligent and pulled down a food box, causing him to eat a bun.When he got home, he knew that his son made it to educate his grandchildren, and he agreed in his heart.
This is a family matter, and it is uncomfortable to be involved in the Yamen.
If people misunderstand, it is inevitable that they will be suspected of inviting names.
On Zhang Tingyu's side, he knew that he might not be able to get it in the same year, even if he kept Wusha, the impression of showing off in front of the imperial court was to be left.
Although the censor has the right to hear about things, he must follow the wishes of his superiors.Otherwise, like this lord, looking at Cao Yin's usual innocence, he would treat him as a soft persimmon, afraid that he would steal the chicken and lose everything.
"It's better to be silent than ten thousand words," Zhang Tingyu told himself in his heart.Although he is currently listed as a vacancy for a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy, he has been on duty in the South Study Room for many years, and he is working as a cabinet bachelor's errand by the side of the emperor.
"That's it?" Kangxi pointed to the cornbread and asked the censor.
Seeing such a serious matter, the censor was a little uncertain, but he didn't dare to change his words, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "If you go back to the emperor, this looks the same as before, is it specific? I still have to ask Mr. Cao."
Kangxi snorted coldly and asked Cao Yin, "Cao Yin, is this the 'luxury food' you ate the day before yesterday?"
Cao Yin raised his head and took a look at the wotou, he certainly wouldn't admit his mistake.After eating such a cornbread the day before yesterday, he didn't free his hands all day yesterday, and his stomach was swollen for a long time.
"If you go back to the emperor, this is exactly what the slaves ate the day before yesterday. It's just a cornbread made of coarse grains. Mr. Jin has never seen it before, so there is a misunderstanding." Cao Yin said.
Kangxi glanced at Elder Sixteen, and said, "What does Cao Yong say? Could it be that the livelihood is so difficult, and this is used as my father's ration? Who is this for?" At the end, there was already a little anger.
After listening to the sixteenth elder brother, he knew that the emperor Ama had to be more careful, so he hurriedly explained the reason why Cao Yong made people make this "remembering bitterness and thinking sweet" Wotou for the sake of training his son.
The censor surnamed Jin was already covered in ashes.
Although Cao Yin knew the reason, but after listening to Brother Sixteen, he was still a little proud.Even if the son is sensible, the grandchildren will not be able to get used to being a dude.
When Kangxi heard this, no joy or anger could be seen on his face, and when he looked at the Yushi again, his eyes were already a bit sharper.
The matter of impeachment is over.
As for the censor who impeached Cao Yin, it cannot be said that he was a false accusation, and Kangxi was too lazy to attack him on the spot.
Wei Zhu came in and reported, "My Majesty, the princes and all the civil and military officials have come here according to the order and are waiting outside."
"Xuan!" Kangxi said in a deep voice.
After a while, I heard rustling footsteps, and many princes and ministers came in one by one, lined up left and right, knelt down on the ground, and respectfully greeted Sheng An.
Those with sharp eyes saw the corn-bread pickles on the kang table, and thought that there was everything in their hearts.
Kangxi stood up, his face could not hide his anger, talking about the matter of praying for rain in the capital, he said: "All the ministers of the Ministry know that they are asking for money and bribes, and they are only at home, and they may not come to the place where they pray for rain."
After talking about the ministers in the capital, Kangxi reprimanded Song Zhu head and face. From the time he worshiped Li Guangshui in everything, to the time when he was married to Gali and served his second elder brother, the more he said, the more he was charged with crimes.
Song Zhu had already knelt on the ground, kowtowed to plead guilty, but in his heart he hated that censor surnamed Jin.
Although the emperor was really upset about the lack of rain in the capital, if it wasn't for the boy surnamed Jin who made such a drama of impeachment early in the morning, how could the emperor be so angry.
At the end of Kangxi's reprimand, he was also a bit angry, and said: "Suo'etu, Gali, and Zhen are all punished. Isn't Songzhu even worse than Suo'etu and Gali? I can't punish them? You are afraid of Yixiang. The Blue Flag Party?"
When Song Zhu heard that the emperor compared himself with Suo'etu and Gali, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak for mercy.
Who are Suo'etu and Gali?One of his descendants was beheaded, and he was put to death in a big prison;
Although he took Li Guangdi as the leader in everything after he became a bachelor, it was because he was afraid of messing up his job.Who made Li Guangdi a roly-poly in the officialdom and a well-known favorite of the emperor?
This sentence not only terrified the scholar Song Zhu, but also made the third elder brother and several officials of Xianglan Banner break into a cold sweat.
What is the emperor afraid of?Fearing that the courtiers will form a party and shake the court.
What are the ministers afraid of?Fear of "partisan struggle", and fear that the emperor will use "partisan struggle" as an excuse to eliminate unsatisfactory officials.
Throughout the dynasties, where there are people, there will inevitably be cliques.
Speaking of others, they are just records in the book, and they are read as stories.In the early years, the battle between Suo'etu and Mingzhu was witnessed by many courtiers.
Many courtiers ruined their future because of the name of "forming a party".
Third elder brother here, as the prince elder brother, he has to be named Prince Heshuo, so he is not worried that he will lose the favor of the imperial father.
After hearing Kangxi's words, he was vigilant.
The elder brother who was circled and the second elder brother who was deposed are both inlaid with blue flags, which is really unlucky to say.
However, is it to declare that after the elder brother and the second elder brother have no hope of retaining the throne, he, the eldest prince, is destined to belong to heaven?To inherit the imperial line?
The third elder brother was struggling in his heart, whether he should be worried or happy, and suddenly thought that there were not only three princes in Xianglanqi, but also the fourteenth elder brother.
Thinking of Elder Fourteen's favor and Concubine De's status in the palace, Third Elder Brother couldn't help feeling a little wary.
Although the four concubines are in charge of palace affairs in the harem in name, in fact it is still dominated by concubines Yi and Concubine De.Concubine Hui is the biological mother of the elder brother and the adoptive mother of the eighth elder brother. Both sons were rejected by the emperor. How can she be a concubine?
Although he was not thrown into the cold palace, the people in the palace are the most powerful.Although he didn't dare to break the rules, no one wanted to flatter and pay attention.
Concubine Hui could only be silent, staying in her palace all day, eating fast and chanting Buddha.
Concubine Rong, the mother of the third elder brother, was the first person in the harem favored by Kangxi, and was two years older than Kangxi.Five sons and one daughter were born in succession, among which the first four princes all died young, and only the eldest daughter and the youngest son grew up, namely the third princess and the third elder brother.
Chengrui, Kangxi's actual eldest son, was born of Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong's body was severely damaged by the pain of successive births and bereavements.In addition, she is more than 60 years old, she is old, lacks energy, and rarely intervenes in palace affairs.
The remaining concubines Yi and Concubine De don't have the name of empress, but they have the identity of empress.
The fourteenth elder brother is the youngest son of the concubine De, and he has formed a party with the eighth elder brother, ninth elder brother, and tenth elder brother.Since the eighth elder brother fell silent, the fourteenth elder brother has been replaced.
Unlike the eighth elder brother who came from a humble background, the fourteenth elder brother, like the third elder brother, was born of the fourth concubine. Except that he was not entrusted, his identity was generally the same.
In addition, the fourteenth elder brother is young and has been raised in the palace for many years, so he is closer to the emperor's father than the third elder brother.
The third elder brother has already made a small calculation in his heart, it seems that he needs to have a brother to help him; he also needs to keep an eye on the old fourteen at all times, so as not to let him take advantage of the loopholes.
They are all princes, so the so-called being favored and not being favored is not because the fourteenth and sixteenth elder brothers are younger than the older elder brothers.When they were young, the emperor's father was already over half a hundred years old, and he had a more loving heart for his children.
Thinking of this, the third elder brother glanced at the sixteenth elder brother standing beside him.
Although his background is not as good as that of the fourteenth elder brother, when it comes to pleasing the emperor's father, the sixteenth elder brother is even better.
If you can attract the sixteenth elder brother to help, even if you can't compete with the eighth elder brother and others behind the fourteenth elder brother, you can still say a few more good words in front of the emperor...
The sixteenth elder brother looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, making a gesture of obedience.Hearing Kangxi reprimanding the ministers in his ears, what he thought was Cao Yong's "prescription for training sons".
His bastard son Hongpu was already four years old, and he was just at the peak of naughtiness.All day long, people have turned upside down at Elder Brother's place, so he should be disciplined.
Go back and feed the little guy corn bread for two days. I don't know if the little guy dares to be naughty?
Except that Mrs. Li, the side Fujin, is pregnant, just arrived in Rehe this time, and the sixteenth Fujin is also pregnant.Calculated, the time difference between Li Shi and Fujin's pregnancy was not more than two months.
Elder Sixteen is also very contradictory in his heart, he is looking forward to Fujin giving birth to a son-in-law, fulfilling Fujin's hope, but also afraid that having a son-in-law will put Hongpu in an embarrassing situation and make Fang Fujin Li's heartbroken.
For other people, it would not be so embarrassing to have ten or eight sons.
Brother Sixteen didn't know whether he should lament his passion, or scold him for being too deeply influenced by Cao Yong and being too soft-hearted. As a child of the Aixinjueluo family, isn't his task to reproduce?
Thinking of this, Elder Sixteen laughed at himself more in his heart, and felt a little less guilty towards Mrs. Li.
There are a few people in this world who can do whatever they want, but they can't help themselves. Why bother to think hard, no matter how much you think, it's useless.
Whether it is a son or a daughter, it is still up to the destiny.
It is also not possible to hope that Fujin will not have a male just because of the consideration of Li Shi and Hongpu's mother and son, how cruel it is to Fujin.
Brother Sixteen was thinking about it, and he felt a little uncomfortable all over his body.He raised his head, just in time to meet the eyes of the third elder brother.
Seeing that the third elder brother's expression is full of intimacy, the sixteenth elder brother is a little confused, not knowing what new tricks this third elder brother is playing.He is not tired of always tidying up the garden and respectfully inviting Shengjia to visit the garden. Brother Sixteen feels bored every time he goes with Shengjia.
The kind of "happy" "family relationship between father and son" deliberately made makes people feel fake and tired.
Just when the princes and courtiers below had their own ghosts, Kangxi had already spoken eloquently, saying: "Among the ministers of Manchuria, there is no one who can convince the ministers of Han. Because I still use Ma Qi as a scholar of the Wuying Temple and the Minister of the Household Department, Mu He Lun is the Minister of the Household Department. After writing Songzhu, he will go to the capital immediately and ask who is the person who uses the words of unbearable prayers, and who is the one who prays for the rain. And punish him, Chen Mingxia is Yi's example."
When it came to the end, Kangxi's eyebrows and eyes were raised, and his voice was sharp.
Song Zhu was already in a cold sweat from fright, and received Kangxi's oral order tremblingly.
Brother Sixteen paid special attention when he heard Ma Qi's reinstatement.Because of this, the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be vacant.The chief managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are already concerned about it, and Ma Qi is considered one of them who is willing to contribute.
If someone else leaves, it may be possible to fill in immediately; for Ma Qi, it seems that either there is an official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who wants to be promoted, or someone from outside will fill the vacancy.
When Cao Yin heard about Ma Qi, he thought of something else.
The emperor hated the eighth elder brother so much that he couldn't tolerate his henchmen standing in court.Otherwise, there would be no excuses to make both Kui Xu and A Ling a "sick" and not come out.
Who is Ma Qi?It was the person who took the lead in recommending the eight princes after the crown prince was abolished, and the backbone of the eight princes' party.He was also convicted for this, and he was dismissed from the position of a bachelor and imprisoned.
Although it recovered later, the holy family was not as good as before.
Now at this time, when the eighth elder brother has been silent for several years, and several high-ranking officials of the eighth elder brother's party have all fallen, Ma Qi has been restored to the university.
If Ma Qi didn't show his loyalty, how could the emperor tolerate him?
It seems that the eighth elder brother is completely hopeless in reserve.In Cao Yin's mind, he couldn't help thinking of what his son said when the father and son went to Beijing on the same boat in the 52nd year of Kangxi...
Since the eighth elder brother has no hope of seizing the reserve, the Li family will continue to be tied to this boat, and they may sink with it.
Although Cao Yin had sent letters and persuaded him too much, but Li Xu was originally stubborn, and he became more and more reluctant to listen to persuasion as he got older.
Although these years, Cao Yin and Li Xu also had quarrels and suspicions, but after all, they have known each other for decades and they are relatives. Could it be that they really watched him die of cold and starvation when he was exiled in Ninggu Pagoda in his rare years?
The emperor's enjoyment is long, and if he really lives for a year, he will still have five or six years to spare.
Among the remaining princes, the fourth elder brother is the most diligent in his errands and the most low-key in his actions. It is not without reason that he can stand out...
Cao Yin was thinking like this, but he didn't realize that he had accepted his son's "dream talk" without knowing it...
*
The capital, Cao's mansion, the residence of Gao Taijun.
Xiangyu looked at the "nine rice dumplings" wrapped in colorful silk threads in front of her, with a look of curiosity on her face.Gao Taijun looked calm, looked at Zijing and said: "Did your wife write a letter, how is the condition of brother and daughter-in-law?"
Zijing replied with a smile: "This servant came to pay respects to the Majesty, it is precisely for this purpose. The family letter from the wife and grandma has arrived, and grandma is safe and sound, but she has to rest in Rehe for the time being." Speaking of this, she He took out Li's family letter to Gao Taijun from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands.
Gao Taijun accepted the letter, nodded and said: "It's good to be safe. If you are young, if you sit down and get sick, the whole family will be anxious."
In the letter, apart from greeting Gao Taijun, the rest is to report the safety over there, and talk about the festival and so on.
Gao Taijun looked at it, and said to Zijing: "Your wife is really too. The family of four has left. In such a big mansion, all the housework is entrusted to you, a girl's house. It is enough to make people feel bad, and you are also troubled."
After hearing this, Zijing hurriedly said: "Slaves don't dare to be tired, it's all done by slaves. Besides, the wife can be so relieved when the majesty is in charge of the mansion. Before the wife left, she told the servants that if there is any problem, please The Taijun is the master. Otherwise, the servants will only have their own size, and the servants will have no idea."
"I'm a bad old woman, and I'm not from your Cao family. If I talk too much, wouldn't it be annoying?" Gao lowered her eyelids and said, "I'm just borrowing a room from you. What are you supposed to do? No need. Pay attention to the old lady."
What she said was blunt and ugly, Zijing, as a servant, couldn't say anything more, so she changed the subject and said with a smile: "I wanted to ask the old lady to show me during the festival, so I invited an opera troupe to the house to sing for a long time. The play. Because the notice of the imperial court ordering to pray for rain has been issued, and the family of the scholar-bureaucrats prohibits banquets, so this play cannot be seen. If the old matriarch does not think we are disturbing, the slaves and maidservants will come to beg the old matriarch with Grandma Tian and Aunt Qiu. How about some wine?"
Xiangyu was listening, with a look of anticipation on her face, she asked in a low voice, "Auntie, are Niu Niu and Zuo Cheng brothers coming too?"
The children in the mansion, except Niuniu who is called Zijing's "sister", all of them follow Tianyou and Hengsheng and call Zijing "aunt", and Xiangyu is the same.
Zijing glanced at Gao Taijun, seeing that she didn't mean to be unhappy, she smiled and said to Xiangyu: "If Taijun and Miss Biao don't mind making a fuss, everyone will come. It's a festival, so there are many people to be lively."
Xiangyu was already overjoyed, she turned around and pulled Gao Taijun's lapel, and said helplessly, "Old Ancestor..."
Seeing Xiangyu like this, Gao Taijun nodded slowly.Seeing Zijing, she felt relieved.
It wasn't that she was busy, but she insisted on getting everyone together for dinner, it was Li Shi and Chu Yu's instructions in the letter.It is said that old people are most afraid of loneliness, the festival is too deserted, and they are afraid that the elderly will be hurt by the scene, so they let Zijing do a good job.
Except for Gao Taijun, the rest of the Tian family and Lianqiu sisters are all widows, strangely deserted.In previous years, it was good for everyone to spend the holidays together, but this year the mansion is mostly empty, if no one is there, everyone is in their own room, and there is no meaning of celebrating the holidays.
Zijing wanted to hire a good theater troupe, but she didn't expect to send people out to look for it, and even got the news that the scholar-bureaucrats were banned from listening to operas and feasting.There is really no way, so I can only take the second place and prepare for the meal.
Coming out from Gao Taijun's side, Zijing went to Tian's and Lianqiu's place again, and talked about the Dragon Boat Festival dinner in Gao Taijun's house.
Cao Yin's couple and Cao Yong's couple were not there, Gao Taijun was the elder in the mansion, Tian's and Lianqiu's sisters naturally had nothing to say.
When Zijing returned to the sunflower courtyard, a daughter-in-law came to ask for instructions.
Most of them are human relations during the festival, some gifts are sent out, and some are received.Whether it was sent out or received back, Zijing would go through it personally, and asked people to keep the accounts, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
In addition to these, there are also festival rewards for servants in the mansion.
Needless to say, there are old examples to follow.A few of them have done well this year's errands, and Zijing has already written to Mrs. Li to ask for instructions, adding a few taels of silver.
Zijing has already heard about Cao Xiang taking a concubine on the fourth day of May and leaving Beijing to serve outside Beijing on the sixth day of May.Due to the rush of time, it was too late to write to Rehe for instructions at this time.
Speaking of which, the nephew of the Cao family, Cao Xiang was not the first to be let go, and Cao Yong was in front.
It's just that Cao Yong is the eldest son of the eldest son, and Cao Yin and Li Shi are parents. There is no comparison between the things prepared for the son and the gifts for the nephew.
Even though Mrs. Li had explained her relationship before leaving Beijing, and let Zijing watch and consider it, Zijing didn't dare to be self-reliant, so she searched for old rules, or drew up a list based on the etiquette of mutual exchanges in recent years.
Like Cao Xiang, they are close relatives of flesh and blood, and the only thing that can be referred to is the congratulatory ceremony when Cao Song and Cao Shuo got married.
But taking a concubine is not as good as getting married, and it's also different from being at home.
After spending a lot of thought, Zijing finally finalized the gift list.
Cao Yin, as his uncle, in his name, gave two good inkstones and two boxes of high-quality Hu brushes; for Li, he chose two sets of ready-made clothes and a few pieces of materials; Cao Yong, the cousin Cheng Yi was given silver coins; Chu Yu gave Cao Xiang two sets of official uniforms and a set of jewelry for the new aunt.
As the inner housekeeper, Zijing knew the news, but also had to add a gift herself.Cao Xiang was given a pair of paperweights, and the bride was given a pair of golden gourd earrings and a set of combs.
The preparations are ready, Zijing has been packed, so that it can be delivered to Dongfu on the fourth day of the lunar new year.
Another daughter-in-law came to ask for instructions on housework, and Zijing was busy, when she saw a maid came to report that it was Han Jiangshi who was waiting for Zijing in the front yard.
The two just met a few days ago, could something be wrong?
On April 28th, the opening day of the new store in Daoxiang Village, Zijing went to Han Jiang's mansion to listen to a play. After all, her status was limited, so she couldn't rest assured that she was here in the mansion, so she left after sitting for a while and then went back home.
When they arrived at the side hall of the front yard, Han Jiangshi was standing and waiting, without removing the veil on his face.
"Grandma Han, is something wrong? It's so hot, sit down and talk quickly." Zijing greeted her while asking someone to prepare herbal tea and fruit plate.
Han Jiangshi didn't sit down, and said: "Miss, there are several mule carts outside, with silver on them, can you please count and store them here?"
"Silver?" Zijing was quite surprised when she heard this.
According to the previously agreed rules, accounts are settled three times a year, during Qingming, Mid-Autumn Festival and Xiaonian.
Because a new shop will be added this year, Qingming's account has been settled, but the money has not been settled.This new shop has only been open for a few days, so why is it necessary to count the money?
"The business in the past few days has been good, and a lot of money has been accumulated in the shop. I'm afraid that I will attract Xiaoxiao, so I think it's better to send it to the house for safe storage." Seeing Zijing's doubts, Han Jiang explained.
"It's only four or five days of work?" Zijing heard this, and couldn't help sighing: "It's still Grandma Han who knows how to do business, and even our young ladies and young masters can say that Jiuzizong is the right match." , she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Grandma Han, how much money is this?"
"The money was exchanged for silver in the bank, and there were a total of more than 600 taels. The fraction of 8000 was kept, and this time I sent [-] taels." Han Jiangshi said.
After hearing this, Zijing smiled and said, "Grandma Han's way of earning money can catch up with our uncle. I'll call someone to open the warehouse..."
There are several silver vaults, two of which contain antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as large unused furniture, and only one for silver.
Cao's family didn't have much cash, some were in Wei Xin's place in the south, and some were in Cao Fang's side to handle other scattered businesses of Cao's family.
Chuyu's salary goes into the internal treasury, not the general treasury.The salaries of both Cao Yin and his son were not enough for the family's expenses, and Zhuangzi's money had to be used to fill the hole every year.
After the money sent by Han Jiang's envoys has been counted and put into the treasury, this treasury will be worthy of its name.
Seeing this, Han Jiangshi was quite embarrassed.I didn't expect the Cao family to have such a big appearance, just this little family background.
When I was in Jiangning in the early years, I heard that the Cao family was rich, and that Cao Yin was greedy for ink. Now it seems that the rumors are not credible.
As for Cao Yin, Han Jiang's family only met Cao Yin by accident when he came to Cao's house, but he had dealt with Cao Yong several times.
The dragon begets the dragon, and the phoenix begets the phoenix. If Cao Yin is really a greedy and despicable person, how could Cao Yong be any better?
As the Father sees the Son, the Son also sees the Father.
If Cao Yong was really a greedy person, he would not have borrowed from himself in a fair and cooperative way in Jiangning.
If it were someone else, Xu would also take into account the Cheng family's background.
The Cao family was powerful in the south of the Yangtze River back then.Not to mention that Han Jiang's family is the niece of the Cheng family's branch, even if she is the daughter of the Cheng family's direct branch, if the Cao family sent someone to come and say something, the Cheng family would be eager to send their daughter to the door.
It's the same in the capital, with the status of the Cao family, there is no need to partner with others at all, isn't it because of her uncle's face?
Afterwards, because of Han Jiang's fault, right and wrong came out, Cao Yong only warned sincerely, and did not reprimand and abuse Han Jiang's as a subordinate.
Han Jiangshi is not a fool, he knows his fault, so he can't wait to make up for it.
Seeing that Zijing asked someone to put the 8000 taels of silver separately, Han Jiang said: "Girl, you don't have to do this. When the Mid-Autumn Festival is done, I will dig out this share. There is no need to divide it again. These few days are the holidays." Because of this, I sell a lot more silver than usual every day. After a while, the silver will be less, and it should be more than usual. If it is convenient for the girl, I will send it at the end of every month."
Zijing smiled and said: "Grandma Han misunderstood, it's not because she was thinking about splitting the accounts between the two. It was the uncle who explained it at the beginning. The business of this Daoxiang Village was paid by the grandma. The money she earned was also given to the grandma. It’s not inconvenient for grandma to send money if she wants to give it away, so there’s no one who can’t pick it up?”
Although Chuyu was the one who came forward about the shop's business before, Han Jiangshi only let his wife deal with him as Cao Yong kept the etiquette and paid attention to the defense of men and women.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that this business is the private house of the princess. In Han Jiang's heart, he doesn't know whether it is envy or something else...
*
I struggled for 100 hours, slept three to four hours a day, didn't eat much, and there are still [-] words left from Xiaojiu's promise, and I will make up tomorrow.Ask in a low voice, can you call for a guaranteed monthly pass for October?Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, Xiaojiu Shiyue's motivation is the monthly pass in everyone's hands, thank you. .
