Shenjing, Rongguo Mansion.
But after Jia Zheng returned to the capital from other provinces, the entire Rongguo Mansion suddenly became lively.
When Mrs. Wang and others learned that Jia Zheng had returned to Beijing, they were extremely happy and rushed to greet Jia Zheng.
At the same time, Mrs. Wang looked at the maid beside her and asked, "Baoyu, where did you go?"
After hearing the words, the maid thought for a moment before replying: "Today I heard the maid in the second master's house say that he should go to school today!"
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang nodded quickly and said, "Well, this is a serious matter!"
But he was thinking in his heart: what happened back then has long since passed, the Supreme Emperor did not kill Baoyu, and even Yuanchun became the empress. I guess Baoyu's imperial examination, official career and economy should not hinder anything.
Since Jia Yuanchun was named a noble concubine, everyone seemed to realize that the emperor did not have much hatred or hostility towards Jia Baoyu, a fool, and there were vague signs of indifference to him.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang and others just urged Jia Baoyu to pass the imperial examination and enter the imperial court as an official as soon as possible to avoid regrets in the future.
With that said, Mrs. Wang took the maids to greet Jia Zheng.
Aunt Zhao here naturally also learned the news of Jia Zheng's return. She walked around the house, thinking about some things, thinking: Now that the master is back, I won't be afraid of that pretentious mercy.
Aunt Zhao also took her maid to greet Jia Zheng. XiuShu.com
When everyone gathered at the threshold, Mrs. Wang glanced coldly at Aunt Zhao and said, "It's a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Seeing the cold look on Mrs. Wang's face, Aunt Zhao also retorted: "Madam, I just heard that the master is back, so I came over to take a look. If Madam doesn't mind, can we go together?"
Mrs. Wang was not willing to go with Aunt Zhao, so she snorted and left.
When Aunt Zhao saw this, her face showed a slight smile. Perhaps she was better than Mrs. Wang in this matter, which immediately made her happy.
When Jia Zheng came back, he immediately went to greet the old lady Jia Mu and said, "My child has seen his mother, so come here to greet her!"
Jia Mu smiled cheerfully and asked, "Is there any news about your promotion when you come back to the court this time?"
Hearing Jia's mother ask about this matter, Jia Zheng hurriedly responded: "My child had already gone to the Yamen for business. It was only after chatting with colleagues in the court that I learned that my virtuous grandson had put in a lot of effort this time. Regarding promotion, Things should not be difficult."

When Jia Mu saw this, she nodded and said with a busy smile: "That's good, that's good!"
After everyone finished speaking, they saw Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao and others coming over.
When Jia Zheng saw Mrs. Wang and others coming in, he quickly stood up and asked about Jia Baoyu, saying, "Where is Baoyu? Why didn't he see him?"
Jia Zheng was also tired after going out for such a walk.
The world outside is too deep, with all kinds of overt and covert fights, all kinds of quarrels, and all kinds of flies...
Jia Zheng's heart was really tired.
Being an official in a foreign province and being an official in the capital are two completely different worlds, and the level of difficulty is not the same.
At least when you are an official in the capital, everyone will look at the face of Rong Guofu and Jia Yuanchun, the noble concubine, and they will not dare to embarrass Jia Zheng too much, and there will be many people who will flatter you.
When they became officials in other provinces, many people only respected Jia Zheng on the surface, but most of the time they had an attitude of subservience and disobedience.
Moreover, as an official in other provinces, Jia Zheng spent too much money.
Over the course of a year, at least several thousand taels of silver were spent.
And how much is Jia Zheng's salary? After a year, it's only a few hundred taels of silver.
The deficit was so big that Jia Zhengzhi shook his head and complained secretly.
So much so that Jia Zheng went to his house several times to ask for money.
Now that Jia Zheng has returned to the capital, he is undoubtedly a lot more relaxed and his mood is much better.
Now when Jia Zheng heard that Jia Baoyu went to school to study, he also
He shook his head and said, "What does he call studying? He was just playing around with a few people in the past. If he was really serious about studying, I wouldn't beat him all the time to save me the trouble."
Mrs. Wang and others also shook their heads when they saw this.
However, Jia Zheng has always looked like this, so it doesn't surprise everyone.
Everyone chatted in the room and then dispersed.
Jia She hurriedly called for people to come over and said, "I'm here to invite you to drink with Uncle Lin'an today. Do you know what's going on?"
The boy standing in front of him heard this and hurriedly responded: "I asked before, but there is nothing festive. However, a group of young actors have arrived in the Nan'an Palace, and they all say they are a famous troupe. The uncle is very happy and invites him to perform for two days. My dear friends, take a look, it’s very lively. You probably don’t need to give gifts.”
After saying that, Jia She came over and asked Jia Zheng, "Will the second master be going tomorrow?"
After Jia Zheng thought for a moment, he smiled and said, "How can I not let him go if I accept his affection?"
As he said that, the person who came through the door replied: "The clerk in the Yamen has come to ask me to come to the Yamen tomorrow. There are urgent things sent by the superiors, so I have to go to the Yamen early to wait."
Jia Zheng said: "I understand."
As he said this, two family members who were in charge of the land renters in the village came over, paid their respects, kowtowed, and stood beside them.
Jia Zhengdao: "Are you from Haojiazhuang?"
The two agreed and said, "Sir, we are from Haojiazhuang."
Upon seeing this, Jia Zheng stopped asking further questions.
After all, the people from Haojiazhuang must come here to pay for the land rent of the farm.
Jia She, the eldest brother, was always in charge of such matters. Previously, Wang Xifeng was in charge. Later, Wang Xifeng got into trouble and was divorced by Jia Lian and went to Yun Mansion. Now, Jia Lian is in charge of the matter himself and has not handed over the matter. Let others manage it.
If it is said that Zhou Rui, the steward of Rongguo Mansion, is in charge of this matter, the land rent in spring and autumn.
However, Jia Lian was in a tight situation and would often bypass Zhou Rui and take care of the harvest directly.
Jia Zheng naturally knew the secrets involved, so he told Jia She about the matter and left.
The servants of Rongguo Mansion held a hand lamp in their hands and walked in front to clear the way to see Jia She back.
After Jia She returned to his home, someone went to Jia Lian to inform him of the matter.
After Jia Lian learned about this, his face became happy.
Someone comes to give money and gifts. This is a good thing!
Rong Guofu has not been open for a long time.
The family is so poor that they can hardly open the pot. .Ь.
Only Jia Lian himself knew the bitterness and bitterness of this.
In the past, Jia Lian was handsome and wealthy, but now Jia Lian is poor and lonely.
It can be said that it is really impossible to have no money.
Especially for a wealthy family like Rongguo Mansion, with thousands of servants in the house, the expenses for up and down expenses are not worth tens or even hundreds of taels of silver every day?
