Chapter 68

Since he made up his mind, instead of suppressing those rumors, Laijia secretly indulged and fueled this trend.

He also went to the countryside with Zhou Ruiyu to inspect the planting conditions during the Qingming and Grain Rain festivals in various places, and no one came forward to suppress the matter.

So in the next few days, the rumors intensified.

Even on the [-]th day of the fourth lunar month, some people gnawed their teeth while eating at noon, and in the afternoon, some people thought that someone must have mixed sand into the new rice in order to enrich their own pockets.

Zhou Rui was in charge of the grain collection in the house, and Laiwang was the one who connected the accounts with him last year. They were all foreigners from the Wang family.

This is all 'my own people', so why not take advantage of this opportunity?

To put it bluntly, as soon as the gate of this identity was opened, no one came forward to suppress it, and even was condoned either overtly or covertly, and naturally it gradually evolved into some kind of correctness.

Whether it is the 'old household' of Rongguofu, or the 'newcomer' who is trying to integrate into the group, they all jumped out to stand in line.

It seems that if you don't spread a few gossips about coming home, you will cut yourself off from the 'Rong Fu people'.

When it comes to family, it is inevitable to bring along the 'Wang family', which will inevitably affect Wang Xifeng and even Mrs. Wang.

In this regard, Laiwang was happy to see it succeed at first, but later, seeing that the gossip became more and more vicious, he habitually retreated.

But Laishun is only afraid that things will not be big enough!

Around the end of June, my father will go south to work as a supervisor, and he will also seek to get out of his country and become independent. At that time, what is the relationship between the opposition in the government and the Laijia?

…………

But he said that this afternoon, since Laishun was not dispatched, he was chatting nonsense with a few idle butlers at the Waiyimen.

These little stewards are obviously fed up with the rumors. They seem to be friendly, but they are actually teasing and contemptuous, and there is such a trace of jealousy that cannot be concealed.

After all, thanks to those rumors, Laijia's position in the Rongguo Mansion has been greatly overestimated again - after all, if you don't have the authority to cover up extravagance, how can you do something that covers the sky with one hand?
Laishun swept these emotions into his eyes, but his heart was secretly funny. If I told these people now that many rumors were made up by myself, I don't know what their expressions would be.

Just at this moment, a little servant Fei also rushed over and handed the card and the lottery to Lai Shun and said, "Come in charge, Mr. Lai told you to get the money first, and go out to buy it tomorrow."

Laishun took the lottery and took a look, but because it was hot this year, the ice in the house might not last until the beginning of autumn, so he was ordered to withdraw 500 taels of ice to buy some ice to cool off the summer heat.

The reason why the word 'cooling ice' is specially marked is because the ice stored in large families is roughly divided into two types: usable and edible.

The acquisition method and preservation method of the latter are much more refined, and the cost will naturally be greatly increased.

And this 'cooling ice' refers to the former - a shoddy bargain.

Of course, this so-called shoddy cheap thing is only relative to the rich and powerful, and ordinary families can't afford this thing to cool off.

After checking the sign for the right card, Laishunchong frivolously confessed the crime to those little butlers, and hurried to the silver vault to find Wu Xindeng to receive the silver.

Unexpectedly, in the small hall of the warehouse chief, Wu Xindeng was nowhere to be seen.

Because 500 taels is not a decimal, even if there is a pair of cards in hand, those little stewards dare not make decisions hastily.

Laishun had no choice but to follow their guidance and found the side hall on the west side of Rongxi Hall.

It's true that Wu Xindeng is inside, but besides him, there is also a serious-looking second master Jia Zheng, and a few Qingkes dressed as literati.

At this time, how could Laishun dare to rush in and ask for money?

So I had to learn from the little servants and wait under the porch outside the door.

hmm~
On the seventeenth year, outside the Rongxi Hall, standing like a rogue.

Laishun was doing his homework outside, and a scavenger who was writing and writing quickly started shaking his head, 'Ah, hu, xi'.

Pricked up his ears and listened to it for a long time, and then commented on the praise and refutation of others, Laishun finally understood what the group of birdmen were doing.

But it turned out that Jin Shang, that is, after Emperor Longyuan took the throne, showed an extraordinary interest in industrial production.

Especially after his position has been stabilized recently, he even summoned two craftsmen from the craftsmanship department whenever he wanted to intervene in the details of the craftsmanship department.

The emperor's concern for the improvement of the production of weapons and agricultural tools was originally a good thing, but he paid too much attention to the subtleties and tricks, which made the civil servants taboo.

After all, at the beginning of the newly established state, Taizu insisted on promoting craftsmen as officials, and the Ministry of Engineering, one of the six dignified departments, was filled with a lot of vulgar people.

It was not until Emperor Sejong ascended the throne that such absurd practices were explicitly abolished.

This evil is enough for the ring of the future!

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry gave Shen Chengzhuo to the incident. A few days ago, they suggested that the middle-level officials should jointly perform the performance, and urged the tens of thousands of people today to not give up the original and ask for the end.

For this matter, Jia Zheng was a little hesitant at first. After all, the second room's special status in the Rongguo Mansion depended to a considerable extent on him having a favored daughter in the palace.

If acting indiscriminately annoys the 'son-in-law' and causes her daughter to lose her favor, wouldn't it be a move of abandoning the basics?

But just when Jia Zheng was thinking about how to politely refuse this joint letter.However, I was suddenly shocked to hear that the head of the household, the member of the staff, the principal, and the staff, had already officially signed the letter the day before yesterday.

The dozen or so middle-level officials of the Ministry of Industry are basically listed on it, and the only ones missing are Jia Cunzhou and another principal who was born in a shady official!

This time, Jia Zheng's anger is not light.

It's one thing if you agree to sign your own name, but it's another thing for the non-commissioned officers to exclude yourself without asking!
Therefore, after coming back, I worked hard to get a separate book to show my literati style-as for whether my daughter would fall out of favor because of this, how could it be important to keep Duke Zhou's 'integrity'?
However, in Laishun's view, this is purely a matter of being full.

You are a relative of an official, and you don't hold the emperor's stinky feet well, and you make a fuss to respond to the crimes of the officials, what else can this be?
Especially in the case of people who give everything, this time the call for a joint letter was originally to prevent the craftsmen from being 'fortunately advanced and overthrown' because of the emperor's attention.

It seems that Jia Zheng, who was originally the master of 'Lucky Jin', would ask him to jointly write a book unless he had a disease in his head!

Just as he was thinking about something, he saw Wu Xindeng walking backwards out of the side hall.

Laishun hurriedly left Jia Zheng's bland things behind, went up to talk about the need to replenish the refreshing ice, and presented the matching cards and signs for Wu Xindeng to check.

Wu Xindeng took the lottery, but he couldn't help complaining while flipping through it: "This year, the amount of Bingjing silver sent from all over the world is actually [-]% less than in previous years. It's gone!"

The speaker has no intention of the listener.

Laishun Xin immediately gave birth to a rumor: the reason why this year's Bingjing silver is [-]% less than in previous years is all because Bingjing, who should be given to the Jia family, has been transferred to the Wang family.

Grand Commander Geyin is not only an important official in the court, but also controls the life and death of Rongguo Mansion by remote control.

This can not only further arouse the antagonistic emotions between the two sides, but also successfully reflect Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang's aunt and nephew.

hmm~
Simply perfect!
 Thanks to the book friends: - No reward.

  The second update in the evening will be sent after [-] o'clock as usual.
