After the Lantern Festival, Di Bao had a new decree. The concubines in the palace said, "Anyone who has a house in the Chongyu Courtyard where they can stay at the gate for defense may wish to invite the court officials to enter their private residence, and the concubines can share their flesh and blood." The ultimate in personal love and family relationships.”
The reason was that when the new emperor went to see the old saint, he felt that he and his parents could see each other all the time, but the concubines in the palace also had parents and family members. Please wait and see when you enter the palace."
Then the old sage felt that visiting the palace made everyone uncomfortable. It is better to let the concubine leave the palace to visit the bride...
So I proposed that if your family has room, you can apply for the concubines in the palace to go home to visit their relatives, in addition to visiting the palace on the second and sixth days of each month. So think about it, this, is the other party a little weird?
Which one is better, being able to visit the palace every Tuesday or building a villa for relatives so that the concubine can go back to a home she has never seen before? More comfortable? I have seen the part in Dream of Red Mansions where Yuanchun is staying at home for a few hours. For a few hours, the whole family has to bear a heavy burden. So the old sage who asked the concubine to go home is just like the fool emperor who said "why not eat minced meat"? So if it's not stupid, then it's bad.
Because as soon as this is said, those who have concubines at home, why don’t they take active action? We can't let our daughter be compared in the palace.
"What should I do about Concubine Zhen? Her natal family is in the south of the Yangtze River. Is it possible for the Zhen family to build a garden in the capital to take Concubine Zhen home?" Jia She was most concerned about Concubine Zhen.
He had a feeling that this was Yuanchun's substitute. If the old lady hadn't picked up Yuanchun, the Zhen family and King Beijing would not have sent Concubine Zhen into the palace. At least, he wouldn't send her in so early. This is also the reason why he always pays attention to Concubine Zhen's movements. He felt that the outcome of Concubine Zhen was the outcome of Yuanchun, and the outcome of the Zhen family was the outcome of the Jia family. If they hadn't jumped ship!
"It's none of your business." Jia Zheng didn't think much about it. He felt that as long as everyone was fine, it was none of his business. He took the letter and said, "Jue'er's greeting letter came, saying that school has started. The students are very happy. I am envious of the seniors, and I am thinking about letting my son pick some travel notes and send them back to the students. My son thinks this is a good idea. What do you think?"
"I don't care about this. Last time I sat in the school for three days and attracted His Majesty. I'm just here to eat, drink and have fun." Ou Mengmeng thought this was a good idea, but she couldn't say it. Looking back at Jia She, she looked at Jia She's eyes. In addition, during this period of time, Jia She paid special attention to Concubine Zhen's appearance. She also guessed how many days. Thinking about it, "The Zhen family has a house in the capital and two uncles. They all have high positions of authority. No matter which family hosts the event, it can certainly do it properly. Besides, the Zhen family has picked up drivers four times in Jiangnan alone. That is not to say that the concubine is visiting relatives. It is really picking up drivers. ! I’m familiar with my family.”
"That's right, I've picked up the driver four times, and the Zhen family has no choice but to stop moving." Jia She narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew his own mother just like the old lady knew him. The old lady was obviously talking nonsense seriously. The Zhen family has been driving for four times, and they have long been injured. The old sage said again about visiting relatives, who do you think is the second fool? Their family was crazy, and they did it again in the capital. He gave his mother a fake smile and said, "The Zhen family picked up four drivers and borrowed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the national treasury, and they haven't paid it back yet."
"Our Jia family is supervising the construction of sea boats in Suzhou and Yangzhou. When repairing seawalls, we are also prepared to pick them up once, and all the money is spent like dripping in the sea water!" Ou Mengmeng remembers this part of Jia's mother's memory. Fortunately, I was preparing to pick him up, and later the old saint went to Zhen's house.
It was precisely because the old sage did not step into the garden prepared by their family that, except for the illegal things, the garden was not labeled with a royal label when they left Gusu. With the consent of the old sage, the garden was sold to a big salt merchant. , so as not to lose money.
The Zhen family has picked up drivers four times. To be honest, it is probably the old sage who knows that the cost of picking up drivers is huge. So the Zhen family has a garden to pick up drivers, so the cost is relatively less than other families. But there are few connections, and for ordinary people, "Don't talk about silver turning into clay. With all the money in the world, there are mountains and seas. It's a pity that the word 'sin' can't be taken into account."
But Ou Mengmeng has watched TV dramas about the Qing Dynasty. When the Yongzheng Dynasty, which was crowded with people, was chasing Ku Yin, he said that the old man gave the fattest man in the world to these confidants just to let him
They have enough money to pay back the money, and they have made the debt hereditary. If the father fails to pay back, the son will pay. How many lives has your family been living in a state of intoxication without knowing how to repay the money, and in the end you still complained that the old sage should not have visited the south and stayed at your home?
Ou Mengmeng sighed, so speaking of it, neither the old saint nor the Zhen family are innocent, who is more wrong? In fact, in Ou Mengmeng's opinion, the Zhen family may actually be more ruthless, and of course more stupid. Think about it, "Does the Zhen family have an ancestral home in the capital?"
"Yes, the old lady of the Zhen family served the old sage. Why did their family pick up the old man four times in the first place? It was the old sage who went to visit the old man and said to the ministers that this is 'my old man.' However, the Zhen family only has such a small amount of credit. , Concubine Zhen in the palace, and the old lady of the Zhen family outside the palace, are all heroes of the Zhen family. But the Zhen family has little background, and the old house in Beijing is quite shabby." Jia She said hurriedly. ..
Speaking of which, he also looked down on the Zhen family. They relied on women to make a living. Whether it was Concubine Zhen or the old lady of the Zhen family, what use were they to the country and the nation? How can he compare with his grandfather and father? I have been messing around for all these years, but at least I am not harmful to others. Like Zhen Shijia, who has become a scourge in Jiangnan, but still wants to use her daughter to win back the Sacred Heart, and continues to lie on the girl's skirt and suck blood, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, really shameless.
If Ou Mengmeng knew that Jia She thought this way, she would probably spit on Jia She. In the end, Jia She might actually be worse than Zhen Shijia, right? It's just that I came here to prevent this family from reaching the worst point, and to allow them to continue to be ignorant and harmless. Otherwise, they will end up being extremely vicious!
What Ou Mengmeng was thinking at this time was that if the Zhen family had an old house, then maybe the new emperor would send Zhen Shijia's family to Beijing secretly and pretend to be reunited, and then the Zhen family's territory could be transferred to him. . In this way, the old saint's hands and feet in Jiangnan can be interrupted.
And this time the old saint should not object, because Zhen Shijia sending a daughter to the palace is betrayal. For those who betray, the old saint does not mind getting on his horse and giving him a ride.
"So, the old concubine should come from an old house in Beijing, right?" Ou Mengmeng looked at her two old sons.
The two of them looked at each other, that's it. If the east wind relied on it, the old concubine was still thinking about it and said she wanted to go back and have a look. Would the Zhen family dare not build it? Then the Zhen family must spend this money.
