The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 18 The Mother
Su Peisheng felt sad for a while.A few months ago, his little master was having fun at the empress's lap, with a cheerful and lively appearance.It's less than half a year old, but it's not like a ten-year-old child.I sighed softly in my heart, I didn't know how to persuade him so I had to keep silent, and prayed secretly in my heart: Empress Empress, your spirit in heaven must keep the fourth elder brother safe and happy.

Yinzhen glanced at Su Peisheng, who stood with his head down and looked strange. He was tolerant of this person who followed him since he was a child, "What are you thinking about? What is the thing you want?"

Su Peisheng quickly came back to his senses, took out a box from the bookshelf behind him and said, "These are all things left by the empress, please see if you can take some time to look at them." These are of course secret things, The things that passed Minglu were the things that the emperor rewarded in the Queen Tong Jia's palace over the years and some dowry when he entered the palace.Although it is a lot, it is not too much.Secretly, Queen Tong Jia also left 20 taels of silver, more than a dozen shops and six Zhuangzi.Empress Tong Jia obviously expected that Kangxi would not be able to take care of her son all the time after her death, and Concubine De would be the last to take care of Yinzhen. There is really no one to rely on.Marrying Fujin in the future, going out of the palace to build a mansion would at best be a beau-son Baylor, not only to maintain the family's livelihood, but also to deal with the usual favors from the elders and brothers in the palace.

Yinzhen picked up the account book inside and looked through it. Empress Tong Jia knew that her life was not long, and Yinzhen was not yet old enough to marry Fujin, so she had to personally teach her how to manage the accounts.Since she married Fujin in the future, she will act recklessly behind Yinzhen's back.Yinzhen took a look and found that the managers of these shops and Zhuangzi were all Erniang's confidantes, and many of them were slaves who had been out of the emperor's palace these years, so loyalty is naturally indispensable.Yinzhen wasn't worried either, if he couldn't even control these servants, he might just die.

The account books are all clearly made, and it can be seen that the Queen's mother left her a shop and Zhuangzi with excellent profits. "Who is in charge of these things now?" Su Peisheng quickly replied: "It's Wusu Madam Grandma's cousin." Yinzhen nodded, thought for a while and said, "Let Grandma Wusu tell her nephew to take good care of these things for Master, and in the future Grandpa will leave the palace to build a mansion, of course his benefits will be indispensable."

Su Peisheng nodded and said: "Master, don't worry. Nanny Wusu is naturally loyal, and she often beats her nephew." Yinzhen looked down at the account book, these stewards and the whole family were originally in the hands of his mother, and now they are also in his hand.As long as they don't get dizzy, they will naturally understand the fate of betraying the master.

Although Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't like what the Jia family was doing, since they were in the capital, as their daughter and son-in-law, they still had to visit Jia's mother during the holidays.

Early in the morning of the second day of junior high school, the family packed up and went to Jia's house.Just after the new year, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai have already started packing their belongings and luggage.This time I went to visit Jiamu together during the Chinese New Year, which was considered farewell. When the sixth emperor came to the court to listen to the government, they should leave Beijing to take office.It also saves me from having to say goodbye again.As soon as the sedan chair arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhu and his wife Li Wan came up with a group of girls and women.Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning seeing the majestic appearance, the ostentation of Rongguo Mansion was really no less than that of Baylor County Palace in the capital.Glancing at Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu smiled helplessly.They brought Li Wan forward to pay respects. When Lin Ruhai and his wife came to Jia's house last time, it happened that Li Wan was sick and unable to come out to meet guests, "My nephew pays respects to my aunt and uncle." Li Wan hurriedly also went forward to pay respects, "Greetings to my aunt and uncle. "

Li Wansheng's eyebrows were delicate, with a faint bookish look on his brows but no cowardice, he seemed to be a well-bred lady, Jia Min smiled and said: "Zhu'er is very lucky, and your daughter-in-law is also very good." Li Wan even said he didn't dare.Lin Ruhai asked Daiyu to meet Jia Zhu and Li Wan again. Although Jia Zhu didn't know Yinzhen's identity, he also knew that this young man whose surname was Tong Jia had been living in the Lin family. OK.Yinzhen nodded indifferently and returned the gift. Jia Zhu then led the group to meet Jia Mu.

The Lin family returned to the capital for a few months, but they didn't have much contact with the Jia family. Naturally, Jia's mother knew that Lin Ruhai's scholarly family must not look down on these dudes of her own family, and only had some contact with her own face.After Lin Ruhai met Jia Mu, Jia Zhu led her to see Jia Zheng, Jia She and others.After all, Yinzhen was a boy, so he also went with him.Seeing Jia Min and others, he became more and more kind, hugging Daiyu and leading Jia Min to ask for warmth.Daiyu didn't understand anything, Jia Min really had mixed feelings in her heart, on the one hand she couldn't let go of her mother's kindness, on the other hand she was tired of the glitz and greed in the mansion, so she could only rely on Jia Mu to cry.Mother Jia was also sad, and cried bitterly with her daughter in her arms.At the same time, everyone hurriedly persuaded each other, "Old lady, it's rare for Miss Min to come back. Why are you crying because you should be happy for the New Year's Eve?" Min wiped her tears, "Mother don't cry... Yu'er be good..." Mother Jia wiped her tears and said, "Exactly, we mother and daughter are reunited today and we don't know when we will see each other again. How can we cry?" Quickly stopped crying and talked with Jia Mu.

Jia Mu was afraid that Daiyu would not be able to sit still when she was young, so she ordered Yuanchun and Yingchun to accompany her to stroll in the garden.Yuanchun is thirteen years old this year, and as the eldest daughter of the family, she is usually graceful and dignified, so she naturally has nothing to say to a four-year-old child like Daiyu.At that time, Yingchun is only two years older than Daiyu. Seeing that Daiyu is petite and cute, Xueyu Linglong likes it very much, so she holds Daiyu and jokes.Seeing that her elder sister is pretty and kind, Daiyu is not afraid to chat and laugh with Yingchun, forgetting for a while the resentment that her brother left her and left with her father.Yingchun lived in Jia's family since she was a child, but Daiyu didn't see as much as Daiyu in Nanjing City, Jiangnan, but Daiyu talked to Yingchun more.Listening to Daiyu talking about how beautiful the south of the Yangtze River is, Yingchun was envious but also knew that she might not have the chance to leave the capital.

There was nothing to see in the winter garden, so the three of them sat in the pavilion in the garden to rest, Yuan Chun ordered the maids to bring up various refreshments over the brazier, and sat on the side watching the two little ones.After all, Daiyu was young, although Yuanchun knew that Uncle Lin's family was extremely favored, and that Uncle Lin often went to and from the palace when he was young, but what could Daiyu know?Don't ask.
