Lin Daiyu took Zijuan to the women's team at the back to reminisce with Xue Baochai and others. Xie Yu was naturally led by Jia Zheng and others to the main hall to talk.
After talking about the wheel, Jia Zheng, who no longer wanted to eat radish rice, took Xie Yu with him and whispered his "grievance" on the grounds of urination.
Xie Yu chuckled, and for Lin Daiyu's sake, he just said: "Uncle, today we are setting up a family temple for Jiamen. There are so many people that it will be lively. We can eat well and go on the road. We have some things to say after the family temple is built."
When Xie Yu said this, Jia Zheng immediately felt confident.
Before, Xie Yu had always called Jia Zheng "old man", which showed that he was distant, but after the Jia family was in trouble, Xie Yu began to follow Lin Daiyu and call her relatives "Success". Xie Yu showed his closeness and it was easy for them to accept his help.
Jia Zheng: "Yes, yes, that's how it should be!"
"It's just a plan. I hope you don't hurt the face of your relatives."
Xie Yu could only ask: "Uncle, does he know that my village has been opening up wasteland for three years. According to the court system, the villagers in Zhuangzi should perform corvee service and pay taxes."
When Xie Yu said this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but stop stroking his beard.
I have been rich since I was born. I never knew what paying taxes meant, but I did know how to collect taxes.
I just didn't expect that today, Xie Yu would say such a naked photo, and Jia Zheng was a little distracted for a moment, but this is also a real problem, and there is no way to avoid it.
Jia Zheng took a breath and pretended to be calm in front of Xie Yu: "It's not that there are still three years. My deceased mother was a concubine with a first-grade imperial decree before she was alive, and the imperial court did not deprive her of her imperial decree."
Xie Yu: "Uncle, don't be anxious. Of course I understand the old lady's matter, but it is only for the immediate family members of your Jia family."
"Of course, it does not include the Jia family's descendants, as well as the newly naturalized Tian Ke from Zhuangzi."
Jia Zheng was still a little anxious and said: "What should we do? What should we do?"
It can be seen that Jia Zheng has been rich all his life and knows how to exploit others. He was shocked to hear that he was about to be exploited. Although he was mentally prepared, it suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and he was a little unbearable for a while.
Seeing his state, Xie Yu was afraid of attracting others.
So he quickly explained: "Uncle, don't worry, the people in charge of the corvee are my students, and don't forget that I still have an official status."
Hearing what Xie Yu said, Jia Zheng reacted and said: "Master Xie, I'm begging you."
Xie Yu: "Civilians have always done corvee service and paid taxes. This cannot be changed, but the place of service can be changed!"
Jia Zheng cooperated and asked: "Change? Where to change!"
Xie Yu: "To be honest with my uncle, I have long planned to build a road from this village to the city. After all, it is too remote. Although I feel relieved for a while, people always have to communicate with the outside world."
When Jia Zheng heard this, he also said: "Building roads? Building roads is good, okay, then how are we going to build them?"
Xie Yu: "I have collected a lot of cinders, and I will just build a simple cinder road."
"As for the manpower needed, just let the villagers who are doing corvee work come to the door. After all, it is for your own convenience in the future."
Jia Zheng stroked his beard and said, "That's true, then fix it!"
It seems that as long as it involves your own interests, everything is easy to say.
Xie Yu: "Well, uncle, after lunch at the temple, you will talk about doing corvee service and paying taxes, and their lazy muscles will naturally understand."
Jia Zheng: "Is that really true?"
Xie Yu said with a smile: "Those who like to be lazy are the ones who know how to be lazy best. Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is engraved in their bones."
Jia Zheng smiled and nodded. As a son of an aristocratic family, he naturally understood the thoughts of these aristocratic families.
The good things are mine, the bad things have nothing to do with me.
A method was agreed upon again, and Jia Zheng made arrangements with confidence.
And Xie Yu thought, since so many people had come, he went to the kitchen to lie down, and specifically asked the chef who brought him over to cook all the things he brought over.
Of course, we can’t say this is a “road meal”, but a reunion meal.
Then, Xie Yu made a special appearance to find Grandma Liu to listen to her opinions on these "big men". Grandma Liu was naturally very annoyed with them and would not hide it.
After listening to Grandma Liu's words, Lin Daiyu, who had just come out from Xue Baochai's place, also came to look for Xie Yu. After some emotion, she began to guess riddles with Xie Yu again.
Although Lin Daiyu always spoke in a roundabout way, Xie Yu also understood that Lin Daiyu was not evil-minded, but just a little uncomfortable with it.
Xie Yu smiled carefully and reassured her that this matter would be left to her so that she could relax and not let this affect her mood.
Seeing Xie Yu's attitude, Lin Daiyu, who had been with him for several years, immediately understood that Xie Yu had a "bad idea" again.
So he immediately asked: "Say it quickly!"
Xie Yu shook his head and said, "You will understand when the ancestral hall is established."
Lin Daiyu: "Oh, really?"
Then, without any knowledge, he stretched out two fingers to make an orchid shape, leaving traces on Xie Yu's arm.
It's really strange that it's so cold and Xie Yu is not wearing thin clothes, but the sick Xishi Lin Daiyu's fingers simply rotate on her arm.
Xie Yu, who is not afraid of being cut with a knife, is afraid!
So, Xie Yu thought that Lin Daiyu's leakage was still very tight, so she immediately betrayed herself and said: "It's very simple, they are all common people now!"
Lin Daiyu wondered: "What's wrong with the common people!"
Xie Yu smiled: "Thanks to everyone, you are the smartest in our family!"
See Lin Dai’s magnolia flower fingers come again!
Xie Yu quickly said: "Since they are common people, they naturally perform corvee service and pay taxes!"
Lin Daiyu had a delicate heart, so she immediately reacted and said: "Corvee labor and paying taxes, so that's it. When it comes to this, my uncle and aunt are also common people!"
Xie Yugang wanted to pretend to be brave, but when he saw Lin Daiyu's orchid finger, he immediately changed his words and said: "Your grandmother was the first-grade concubine. According to the regulations, her immediate relatives and children are not required to perform corvee or pay taxes within three years of her mourning period."
Lin Daiyu: "Three years later!"
Xie Yu: "Three years later, let's talk about it again!"
Lin Daiyu: "Humph..."
Xie Yu: "There's nothing I can do about this. I just hope that Mr. Bao can pass the provincial examination next year, otherwise..."
Lin Daiyu: "Otherwise what..."
Xie Yu: "Common people serve and pay taxes. This has been the case since ancient times. This is a major national policy. What can I do?"
"Now your uncle's side can read. Jia Lan is young and is still reading elementary school books like Qiong Linxianhua."
"Although the third master Jia Huan has started to study the fourth book, according to his qualifications, he may be able to win the Tongsheng within three years, but it is basically impossible to win the examination."
"Second Master Bao, on the other hand, has a quota for supervising students and has the experience of taking the provincial examination. He is the only one."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Baoyu was seen coming from a corner. He walked to Lin Daiyu a little excitedly and said involuntarily: "Sister Lin, you are here. Why didn't you ask someone to let me know? If Mingyan hadn't sent it to me, Books, I don’t know yet!”
Xie Yu saw that it was the big-faced girl who had arrived, and his eyes were all on Lin Daiyu, so he knew his character.
So Xie Yu said directly: "My uncle wants to talk to me over there. I'll go first and you guys talk first."
】
After saying that, Xie Yu turned and left.
Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, looked at Xie Yu and said "Hey..." but didn't know what to say.
He had no choice but to turn around and talk to Jia Baoyu, and naturally he told Xie Yugang what Mr. Bao had just said, that he must pass the provincial examination next year.
His father Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and his wife Xue Baochai often came to remind him of this, even though Jia Baoyu was extremely reluctant.
But a few months of visiting the Hell Temple made him have many changes in his mood, and he even thought about becoming a monk after seeing through the world of mortals.
But now there is a big family behind him, and he is their future support.
In order to prevent his younger brothers and sisters who had escaped from the disaster from being harmed, even though Jia Baoyu was extremely reluctant, he also understood rationality and reality.
Even out of filial piety, he stayed in the study these days, reading "patiently" from the hand-annotated notebook given by Lin Daiyu.
This time, after Xie Yu's reminder, Lin Daiyu naturally brought some more and just asked Xue Baochai to deliver them to Mr. Bao.
Knowing that this book could make Jia Baoyu motivated, Xue Baochai didn't care about anything and left the arrangement.
Gang Mingyan, on Xue Baochai's order, went to deliver books to Jia Baoyu. When Jia Baoyu heard that Sister Lin was coming, he ran out without caring about anything.
Jia Baoyu has a lot to say now, and he wants Lin Daiyu to say it.
But as soon as she spoke a few words of affection, Lin Daiyu suddenly realized that although Jia Baoyu was one year older than herself, he still seemed to have not grown up and was still the young man in red who lived in the peach blossom garden before.
As for Lin Daiyu, who has been in charge of the Xie Mansion in the past few years and has been a director, her hands are stained with the smell of copper. Especially in the year when Xie Yu was not at home, she supported Xie Yu on her own and knew how to plan and plan. There is a difference.
Gradually, romantics began to appreciate realism as well.
This is just like two people who are in a long-distance relationship after graduating from college. Although they had many feelings before, their friend circles are different, and even the way they think has changed.
After that, the chat between the two entered a semi-dead loop. Jia Baoyu felt that Lin Daiyu had changed, and the change also made him engage in career and economics, a bit like Lian's mistress Wang Xifeng ended up.
She is no longer like the pure-minded Sister Lin.
"Does everything change after getting married?"
Of course, it depends on the person. At least the male protagonist of this book, Jia Baoyu, will not change.
Not to mention the thoughts of these two people!
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, She Yue came to look for her, and then they separated.
Family temple!
The chef at Liushuixi was very agile, and the Jia family provided a lot of helpers, and a lot of extra stoves were installed. There was no shortage of firewood in the countryside, so everything was prepared smoothly.
According to regulations, civilians are not required to sacrifice large animals such as pigs, cattle, and sheep. At most, they can only use small animals such as chickens, ducks, and geese.
But it’s okay to prepare more. The ancestors hung it up to offer sacrifices, and they didn’t actually eat it, they just smelled it. After the ceremony, it was naturally cleaned by the descendants.
A burst of firecrackers, the men were led by Jia Zheng, assisted by Xie Yu, followed by Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan, and the crowd was busy.
The women are headed by Mrs. Wang and assisted by Lin Daiyu. Originally, Lin Daiyu was not qualified. Among this group of "common people" women, who gave her a pleasant title of fifth rank? Yueyue also went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive salary.
Moreover, there is a high probability that, like Mrs. Jia Mu, she will receive it for the rest of her life.
In fact, when Mrs. Wang's eldest daughter Jia Yuanchun, Jia Baoyu's eldest sister, was conferred the title of Concubine Xiande by the Minister of Fengzao Pavilion, Mrs. Wang also wore a phoenix-pattern crown.
It's just that it's not called Feng Yi, but Pinfu Dazhuang. It's just related to the husband's official title.
It's just that Mrs. Wang wore high-quality clothes and makeup when she received Concubine Yuan for the wedding. Lin Daiyu also had that kind of makeup and clothes, but she just represented a lady from an official family, so she was different from ordinary people.
The same goes for Mrs. Xing, the concubine of the first-rank general Jia She. Borrowing her husband's honor is symbolic. When entering the palace during the New Year and festivals to express gratitude, she will not lose her etiquette or let others look down on her. This is also considered a kind of noble family. tacit agreement.
It is said that it is just for the so-called dignity. In fact, it has no official title and cannot be worn casually on weekdays.
She was the only first-grade concubine in the Jia family who had the real title of Jia Mu. At that time, when the Jia family was the most prosperous and favored, Jia Mu had that grace.
Nowadays, there are not many successful descendants of the Jia family, and they all rely on the glory of their ancestors to enjoy wealth and status, so Jia's mother claims that the Jia family is a middle-class family.
After that, they were preparing to have a banquet. Seeing that there was no wine at the banquet, Xie Yu couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
It's better not to drink. Many things are caused by drinking too much.
Under Jia Zheng's order to open the banquet, everyone immediately got into a hurry!
Look at this eating appearance, is this still the original wealthy man?
Sure enough, Rourou is everyone’s true love!
Everyone looked like they had not eaten meat for a long time.
Under such circumstances, Xie Yu, who loved eating meat and was happy when eating meat, turned around and saw that Lin Daiyu had not eaten a bite of meat, so he did not eat it either. It was better to leave this to the Jia family's nephew.
At the end of the banquet, we talked for a while and drank a cup of bitter big-leaf tea from the local wild tea tree. Not to mention it was quite effective in relieving tiredness. You can take some with you when you go back.
Afterwards, he talked about his plan to build a school in Zhuangzi, but they started to flatter him.
Xie Yu was not used to it and started to pour cold water on them.
After Xie Yu took a sip of tea, he said to Jia Zheng: "Uncle, I have already greeted you at the Yamen. Don't forget about doing corvee work after the spring plowing."
Jia Zheng stroked his beard and said: "We are common people now, and serving as corvees is to be loyal to Yu. Although I am in the period of filial piety, I will personally lead people to respond to missions."
Xie Yu was surprised and then said: "My uncle can do it personally. He is very good at it. He has the ancient style of living in poverty and enjoying life. To congratulate my uncle, I will have a cup of tea instead of wine to toast to my uncle."
Xie Yugang raised his tea cup, and an older man, who was a bit arrogant, stood up and said: "Boy, forget it without drinking today, you still want us to do corvee service."
"That's a delusion. To tell you the truth, as long as I can remember, I'm the only one who lets others do the work. Then there are others who let others do the work."
Xie Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"
The old man said: "Boy, as a courtesy you should call me uncle."
Xie Yu suddenly threw the tea cup to the ground and said harshly: "I am from a humble background. I have been ordered to do corvee labor since I was a child, but now I am also a fifth-rank Hanlin scholar."
"You said that old man dared to pretend to be big in front of me. An ordinary man, relying on his age, dared not to kneel before an official. I didn't say anything. He still moaned and barked in front of me. How could he be treated like me? I dare not punish you for the crime of disrespect, so I will chain you to a month."
At this time, people pretending to be "good people" naturally spoke up and said: "We are all relatives, we are all relatives, why is it like this, why is it like this!"
