Shenjing City has been very lively this month. Except for the merchants and wealthy merchants controlled by the four major families in the entire Daxing Dynasty, everyone brought a large amount of property into Shenjing City to pay homage to Xue Baochai, the head of the Department of Commerce, hoping to obtain the position of business official. .
Mr. Sun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was happy from ear to ear every day. Looking at the more than 80 million taels of silver left in the treasury, his whole body was full of energy, which made the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China look at him.
The capital of the Department of Commerce is the most popular residence in the imperial court today. It is also the residence of the Xue family, who was a businesswoman and was known as the Goddess of Wealth. This was the emperor's reward for Xue Baochai's contribution, and it also showed the importance he attached to the Xue family.
Although the Xue family had their own property in the capital when they first came to the capital, they were not very familiar with the capital and were afraid of being bullied, so they lived in the Rongguo Duke's Mansion. During this period, with the help of Japer, the Xue family established a firm foothold in the capital. In addition, the emperor valued the Department of Commerce very much, and it was not convenient to continue living in the Rongguo Duke's mansion, so he moved out.
"Miss Bao, now you are really stealing the show in this sacred city. No one knows your reputation as the Goddess of Wealth." Wang Xifeng looked at Xue Baochai and said with a smile, her whole words full of envy.
"I see! It's your Second Grandma Lian who is envious." Li Wan, who was sitting next to Wang Xifeng, joked with a smile.
"Miss Bao has accomplished many things that women cannot do, but she is no worse than any of the men. I would like to tell you that all the ladies here are not envious of you." Seeing Li Wan teasing her, Wang Xifeng did not hide it and said generously.
"All of this is important to your Majesty, and Brother Po helped, otherwise we wouldn't be as prosperous as we are now." Seeing Wang Xifeng say this, Xue Baochai didn't dare to continue. She knew how much of her own contribution was in this, and she immediately Moved the Emperor and Japer out.
"Speaking of Brother Po, I don't know what those three girls are doing. They haven't visited my old lady for a long time." Jia Mu sighed.
When Mrs. Wang, who was sitting at the bottom, heard what Jia Mu said, her heart was filled with emotions such as unwillingness, resentment, and discomfort.
Since the reputation of the Duke of Rongguo was ruined due to the incident caused by Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother was seriously ill and could hardly get up. If it weren't for the efforts of Jia Zheng and Sanchun, Jiapo went to the Duke of Rongguo's mansion to visit Jia's mother. After that, she often stayed with Jia Mu to make her happy, and her condition improved quickly. With the company of Sanchun and others, Jia Mu paid a lot less attention to Jia Baoyu. After Jia Baoyu recovered from her injury, she went to see Jia Mu. , Jia Mu no longer dotes on him as much as before.
"Giggle! Ancestor, the prince hired three nuns from the queen to teach Sanchun and the others. Now they are learning etiquette, female red, and studying every day." Wang Xifeng explained to Jia's mother with a smile, since Jia Po visited Jia The queen mother, Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai, as well as Mrs. Wang who said she wanted to take care of Jia Baoyu, had also been to the palace and knew what Sanchun was doing.
"Old lady, please don't worry. Maybe one day the prince will let them out of the mansion to visit you." Aunt Xue saw Jia's mother comforting her so softly. Regarding the affairs of Jiapo and Rongguo's mansion, they I knew it, and although I was dissatisfied with the old lady's actions, I couldn't say anything.
"Sir, the three ladies from the royal palace and the young master are here." Mo Xiang walked up to Xue Baochai and whispered in Xue Baochai's ear.
Mo Xiang, Mo Zhu, Mo Mei, and Mo Chi were the female guards given to Xue Baochai by the emperor to protect Xue Baochai. Each of them was extremely powerful, and they also knew the identity of the young master.
"Sister Xue, we are here to see you." Just when Xue Baochai stood up to greet her, Xiao Xichun's delicate childish voice came in.
Everyone in the inner hall turned to look at the door, only to see Xichun wearing a pink skirt. Her hair was combed into two braids and tied into a bow with a pink ribbon. She appeared in front of everyone, looking very cute and cute. .
Next to him was a boy with a noble face, red lips and white teeth, wearing a white robe with gold trim and a gold crown on his head.
Behind them to welcome the spring and Tanchun are all dressed in emerald green skirts, their hair is tied up high, and a jasper hairpin is inserted. The hairpin is inlaid with a bright pearl, which reflects with their eyes, exuding a charming charm. light. Their makeup is delicate and elegant, with a slight blush on their cheeks, as delicate and charming as blooming peach blossoms. Although they are dressed the same, welcoming the spring gives people a naughty feeling, and Tanchun makes people feel dignified, and behind them Several nuns followed.
"Are these my three girls?" Mother Jia was also extremely surprised when she saw Sanchun looking so cute, charming, bright and dignified. She didn't expect that Sanchun would undergo such a big change after dressing up, and she didn't even dare to Believed.
"Yes, how many young masters will be fascinated by this." Wang Xifeng said in amazement.
Xue Baochai looked at Er Chun with a flash of surprise in her eyes. Her appearance was already stunning, but now she was shocked to see Er Chun's transformation.
The wives of the Xue family and the Rongning family in the field couldn't believe that this was Sanchun. They had all seen the changes in Sanchun so much that they didn't dare to admit it.
"I've seen grandma!" Erchun bowed and saluted just when Jia Mu and everyone else were stunned. The whole process was decent and generous, with elegant and calm manners, which made everyone present brighten up.
Xiao Xichun, on the other hand, jumped up and ran to Jia Mu.
"Okay, okay! Please forgive me!" Mother Jia hugged Xiao Xichun and helped Erchun up with a smile, her eyes full of love.
"I've met Aunt Zhao!" Tan Chun walked up to Aunt Zhao and saluted. She and Jia Huan were born to Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao was a concubine of a maid. In addition, Aunt Zhao was ignorant and confused by nature. She spoke and acted in a nondescript manner. She knew how to respect herself and was not liked by Jia Zheng, so Jia Zheng asked Jia Huan and Jia Tanchun to recognize Mrs. Wang as their mother and call their biological mother aunt.
"Hey! OK, OK!" Although they are mother and daughter, there is no affection between mother and daughter, brother and sister, so Aunt Zhao doesn't know what to say.
Tanchun didn't say anything when he saw Aunt Zhao like this. After bowing, he went to Jia Mu.
Jia Yingchun bowed to Mrs. Xing and then headed towards Jia Mu.
Mrs. He expressed his inner dissatisfaction by complaining about Yingchun's grievances with his second roommate.
On the other hand, she felt that Yingchun had lost her face. Although Yingchun was not her child, she was Yingchun's nominal mother after all. Yingchun was ignored by Jia's mother and bullied by the wet nurse. This was a shameful behavior, and she had to come forward to complain for her.
Xiao Xichun's mother died not long after she was born, and Jia Jing became a Taoist priest and was sent to Jia's mother to be educated since he was a child. In addition, Jia's mother was partial to Jia Baoyu, which was not very good to them. Otherwise, how could they have done it? Being made difficult by servants.
Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue wanted to salute the young prince, but Granny Zhang shook her head to stop them. The mother and daughter could only take care of the young prince calmly.
Because of the arrival of Miharu and the prince, everyone in the hall began to ask about Miharu's life in the palace, which made everyone feel curious. They also talked about Japer, which gave everyone a certain understanding of Japer.
