Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

After a tiring day, Xing Yuling returned to the East Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia She followed her to the main room in silence, sat on a chair, and stared blankly without saying a word.

"Don't think about it." Xing Yuling looked at his expression and, for once, felt a little soft-hearted and poured him a cup of tea.

"I just remembered the time when the prince was still alive, but I didn't expect so many changes to happen." Jia She took a sip from the teacup.

Xing Yuling didn't say anything, but quietly watched the changes in the sunlight outside the door.

The atmosphere between the two of them became quiet, and the maids stood guard at the door, not daring to disturb them.

At this moment, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng came in and greeted them.

"Father, mother!"

"Second Aunt wants me to take care of some of the chores in the Jia Mansion, and also hopes Feng'er can take over the job of managing the household chores."

While paying his respects, Jia Lian told Jia She and Xing Yuling the whole story in detail.

Wang Xifeng, who was standing aside, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes flickering, revealing a hint of shrewdness, and she was secretly thinking in her heart: "I have always wanted to take over the housekeeping affairs of the Jia Mansion, so that everyone can see my ability. But I have also seen clearly in the Rongguo Mansion in the past few years that my aunt has been putting money into it and filling a lot of loopholes. Fortunately, I got out in time, otherwise my dowry would have been emptied!" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be glad that her decision was wise.

She suddenly remembered what her aunt had said to her before: "Look, this Rongguo Mansion is still inherited by your eldest son! What's the difference between taking over early and taking over late? It's better to take over early, so that you don't have to worry about these things in the future." This sentence flashed through her mind like a flash of lightning, making her suddenly realize. Yes, if she took over Rongguo Mansion now, she could save a lot of trouble in the future. And in this way, she could also master the power of the family earlier and become the real mistress of the family. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel that what her aunt said made sense.

Wang Xifeng was fooled by her aunt and did not understand what Lady Wang was thinking.

Mrs. Wang thought about the current situation of the Jia Mansion and wanted to hand over the internal affairs of the Jia Mansion. After all, the Jia Mansion was now in a serious financial deficit. If she continued to manage it, she would have to put in a lot of money.

In addition, there was another matter that made Mrs. Wang feel very difficult - the virtuous concubine in the palace needed money to manage relationships. She suddenly set her sights on her niece Wang Xifeng, who was also from the Wang family.

After hearing this, Xing Yuling glanced at Wang Xifeng and saw desire on her face. Not wanting to worry about anything, she simply let Jia She make the decision.

"Forget it! Forget it! Go on with yourselves!" Jia She waved his hands impatiently. He had given up communicating with these two people. They were always self-righteous and never listened to other people's opinions.

"Father..." Jia Lian wanted to argue again, but Jia She glared at him and interrupted him, "Okay, make your own decision. I don't want to say anything more."

"That's it, let's go quickly." Jia She was impatient to see them again.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng looked at each other and had no choice but to go back and discuss it.

"From now on, don't bother with this couple anymore. They're too noisy!" Jia She looked into the distance with a trace of helplessness and fatigue on his face. He seemed to have seen through everything and was no longer willing to get involved in such disputes.

Xing Yuling nodded after hearing this, indicating that she understood what Jia She meant. She knew that Jia She was right, and that they should really stay away from these troubles and live their own lives. But she still couldn't help asking, "So what should we do next?"

Jia She was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "When my father was still alive, Rongguo Mansion owed the Ministry of Revenue two million taels of silver. I guess the emperor is petty now and will definitely punish you. Will Rongguo Mansion still exist by then? It's still hard to say..." His voice became lower and lower, as if he was talking to himself.

When Xing Yuling heard this, she could only look at Jia She silently.

Jia She seemed to sense Xing Yuling's gaze. He turned around, patted her hand gently, and comforted her, "Don't worry, there will always be a way out. Let's see what the situation is first."

"Don't worry, I have buried a lot of things in another farm." Jia She had already hidden his private belongings to prevent theft.

When Xing Yuling heard what he said, she realized that the previous act of emptying the storehouses of Lady Jia and Lady Wang had made them afraid, fearing that something might be lost, so they hid outside first.

Not long afterward, seeing that it was getting late, she asked the maids to serve the meal and called Jia Ying to eat with them.

Xiaoxue waved her hand and asked the maids to put the two food boxes on the table. Then she opened the food boxes and began to put the dishes inside.

Today, the kitchen prepared many specialties, including tender and delicious ginger cod, delicate pounded chicken shreds, delicious steamed tofu with shrimp, refreshing and delicious vegetarian bamboo shoot soup and fragrant braised lamb. Each dish looks very tempting and makes people salivate.

The family began to eat, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Jia She and Xing Yuling talked about family matters, while Jia Ying ate quietly.

"I have contacted people in the palace and plan to take action when Prince Kangping is buried." Jia Ying suddenly made a big statement, which made Jia She and his wife's minds go blank.

"You...you know everything." Jia She was not surprised that Jia Ying knew his life experience, but he did not expect it to be revealed so suddenly.

"Yes, I understand." Jia Ying respected Jia She as his father very much.

"The retired emperor will definitely be there that day, and the one from the palace will definitely come with him." Jia Ying took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and looked at his mother.

"I need my father's help. The Rongguo Mansion has a complex network of military connections and knows many generals. However, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. I just need them to turn a blind eye to it."

Xing Yuling knew that she couldn't stop her son, but she also hoped that he could succeed.

"master"

Jia She sighed helplessly and said, "Ever since our ancestor in the Rongguo Mansion was conferred the title of Duke, we have already embarked on the ship of the Crown Prince!" There was a trace of worry and helplessness in his eyes.

"Thank you, Dad"

Jia Ying had already discussed this with his teacher before coming to the capital, and he also had the help of the former crown prince's influence, ministers such as Yang Jie and Wen Jue.

In the palace, the emperor's residence was completely silent. The palace maids and eunuchs stood outside the door cautiously, not daring to make any sound.

The retired emperor leaned on the pillow with a sad face and silent eyes. The grandson left by the crown prince finally passed away. Although the retired emperor had known the news for a long time, when this moment really came, he still couldn't bear the sadness.

He had already made a decision in his heart: to bury the father and son together and then pay tribute to them properly. This idea became more and more firm in his heart.

The emperor looked at the memorial in his hand expressionlessly, his eyes were cold and deep. His hand was tightly clenched around the memorial, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, revealing his inner discontent.

"Since the emperor is leaving the palace, I, his uncle, have no choice but to burn some incense for him."

The eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead, lowered his head and said nothing.
