Red Mansion Fanfiction, Yuanchun became a concubine because of her mother's status

When talking about the Second Madam Jia, you have to mention her current identity.

She was not only the biological mother of Concubine Xian, but also a lady of the third rank.

The road development was very fast. In addition to cement, Jia Zheng also came up with some methods of building bridges and paving roads. After more than a year of hard work, his official position was promoted to a higher level.

Today, Jia Zheng is already the Minister of Works.

The former Minister of Works, Lord Gu, had fallen seriously ill some time ago, and by the time he recovered, the position had already been replaced.

Jia Zheng was an official of the third rank. After he was promoted to the Minister of Works, he requested an imperial decree for his wife, Mrs. Jia Wang.

When it comes to requesting for an imperial decree, everyone would request for their mother first. If their mother was no longer around, or if the imperial decree had already been granted, they would then request for their wife.

The old lady was the wife of a duke of the highest rank, and the title was granted to her when the duke was still alive.

The title that Jia Zheng requested this time was naturally for Jia Wangshi.

When entering the palace this time, both the old lady and Lady Wang Jia were wearing the attire of a royal lady.

Putting aside the identity of the Empress' biological mother, the third-rank imperial robe worn by Madam Jia Er is still very eye-catching.

If you think that Jia Zheng, the Minister of Works, has no real power, you are wrong.

This year, the Ministry of Industry has been the most prominent.

And the Ministry of Works is almost dominated by the Jia family.

"Second Madam Jia, I heard that your Jia family has recently developed a fat-clearing ointment, which has a particularly good weight-loss effect after use?

Do you have any more of this kind of stuff?" As for chatting, if Madam Jia has something here, there is something to chat about.

An official's wife mentioned the Qingzhi ointment.

"That thing is only useful when used on the face." said Mrs. Jia Er.

When she mentioned this kind of fat-clearing cream, her face turned unnatural.

This thing was made by Baoyu himself. He likes to dress up girls beautifully.

The weight loss products used by other people’s families can reduce weight all over the body, but Baoyu’s can only make the face look thinner.

This guy really only cares about looks.

Do you think he was just doing it?

I showed this thing to Her Majesty, and she said it is indeed useful, but only on the face.

This thing is safe and effective, so she can give birth without worry.

She thought that after all, it was something her son had researched, and if it could be exchanged for money, it would prove that Baoyu was useful.

So I tried to produce it.

did not expect……

Well, this thing is very popular with the ladies.

Although they in Tianqi don't consider thinness as beauty, being too fat doesn't look good either. If the body is plump but the face is not fat, it will look much better.

As for this man, even though he appears to be outwardly attracted to people with slim bodies.

But when you get home, you still need your wife to have some meat on her body.

In this world, if people gain weight, they usually gain weight all over their body. In this era, people value appearance, so the fatness or thinness of the face is somewhat important.

The fat-clearing ointment developed by Baoyu met the needs of some women.

Nowadays, this fat-clearing cream is often out of stock.

Isn’t it strange that the same formula, but different people produce different results?

The best effect was achieved by Baoyu himself.

It’s outrageous, how old is this Baoyu?

She said that this guy really had some talent. She didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.

It is obviously a good thing that Baoyu has talent, but for a family like theirs, there is no need for him to make rouge and powder himself.

"That's not bad. As for me, I just hope my face can be thinner." said an official's wife.

In a world where appearance matters, having a good-looking face is enough.

"There are new products of Qingzhi Cream every month. You just need to send people to queue up." Mrs. Jia said.

When the fat-clearing ointment is made, she will give some to her acquaintances, and whether the rest can be bought depends on one's luck.

"This lipid-clearing product should be mass-produced. It's really hard to buy."

Everyone knows how to queue up, but they don’t know when the new products will be available, so they can only send people to ask every day.

"Madam Jia, your Jia family is also a famous family, but why do you always do things that compete with the people for profit?" said an official's wife.

As for the wives of the officials present, Mrs. Jia knew them a little bit.

Most of those who can enter the palace have imperial decrees. It doesn't matter if you don't know her, you can guess a little from the imperial decree clothes she wears.

"We, the Jia family, donate a lot of money every year for road construction. We, the Jia family, take from the people and give back to the people. How can we compete with the people for profits?" said Mrs. Jia II.

She is very confident.

The money that the Jia family spends on road construction every day is the highest in their Tianqi family.

Because of this, whenever someone said that the Jia family, a family of officials, was doing business outside, she would definitely bring up this matter.

"I wonder how much money Madam Li's family donates every month?" Madam Jia asked again.

This lady's husband is an honest official. Let alone donating money, it is already good enough for their family to maintain basic living expenses.

It doesn’t mean that honest officials have no money at home. Their salaries are not low either.

If you live solely on this salary, you can only say that you can just get by.

Lord Li was an honest official and had many children in his family, so it was difficult to support the entire family.

"Our Li family is not engaged in business like your Jia family. This good official family is doing menial work." Mrs. Li said.

Her words were very sour.

Well, the wealth of the Jia family is indeed something to be envied and hated.

You can't find a way to make money, but it's different for the Jia family. No matter what they do, they can make a lot of money.

"We are all in Tianqi, and your Li family is the most noble. We just hope that your Li family will always be noble." Mrs. Jia said.

She didn't get too angry when others called her lowly.

She had heard this kind of envious tone many times.

For someone like this, you don't need to pay attention to her. Just do your own thing and let her be envious and jealous.

The only one who will feel aggrieved is herself.

"The Li family has no wealth at all, but that doesn't mean they are just noble?" an official's wife laughed.

As a family of officials, the Li family has no assets at all. Not only is Lord Li inactive, but Madam Li also doesn't know how to manage the household.

"Alas, I can only envy Madam Li. It's better for our family to be more humble." Another official's wife said.

Needless to say, everyone knows that they are on the side of Madam Jia II.

Only people who are truly lowly would be afraid of being called lowly by others. Rich people like them would just treat it as a joke.

"You, you guys... Humph! I can't beat you guys!" Mrs. Li was angry with herself.

She felt that she was being slandered.

But there was nothing she could do. She was the one who brought up the topic first, so she had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.
