To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yuanchun asked for permission to leave the palace. There were not so many things to do in this life, so Yuanchun named the building in the small courtyard as a villa for visiting relatives.

After giving out some gifts, Grandmother Jia specially brought Daiyu over to join in the fun. After all, Jinyu belonged to a stranger.

The virtuous concubine looked at Daiyu with a different eye, pulling her over and praising her again and again. Baochai was so angry that her face turned green, and she said to Baoyu sourly: "I don't know how I am inferior to her!"

After a night of exhaustion, Concubine Xian had a meal, watched a play at home, and then returned to the palace.

A full fifty thousand taels of silver were spent on this empty show, and this was despite the emperor's generous grace only building one site.

The money spent by other concubines' families was like water, and it took these people half a month to recover.

Lin Daiyu also spent a whole day with him and went back to the Lin Mansion to rest the next day.

After the empress's visit was over, the people in the Jia family packed up the utensils and things and sealed off the small courtyard where the empress had visited.

A few days later, Concubine Xian asked the eunuch to pass a message to her family, asking them not to destroy the villa and let her sisters live there.

Tanchun, Yingchun and Xichun lived in a small courtyard. Because the place was too small, even Baoyu could not live in it like in the original novel.

In this way, the three sisters lived in a very crowded place. Fortunately, Yingchun and Xichun were just nominal relatives and they often went back to their own homes to live.

Granny Liu came to the Jia Mansion to visit Lady Wang with a cart full of fruits and vegetables. The last time she came to the Jia Mansion and told Lady Wang about her difficulties, Lady Wang rewarded her with twenty taels of silver.

This time, Granny Liu came over to return a favor and show her appreciation. Lady Jia usually interacted with people from the same class, and it was rare for her to have an elder of the same age to chat with her.

In fact, it is just vanity. It is not equal to showing off wealth and status to the servants in the house. They are all slaves, so what can be said?

The arrival of Granny Liu brightened Lady Jia's eyes, and Granny Liu's luck came. She chatted with Lady Jia, and even Lin Daiyu came to join in the fun.

Even the lady from a noble family felt lonely at home. Lin Ruhai was busy in the court every day, and Jinyu had a lot of homework.

Daiyu would come to play with her uncle's sisters every now and then. This time Yuanchun came home to visit because there was no Grand View Garden, so she didn't invite the official daughter Miaoyu.

Granny Liu stayed in the mansion for a few days. This time, Mrs. Wang gave her one hundred taels of silver, perhaps because she was annoyed that this relative always brought shame to her.

Yuanyang gave the old lady some clothes that she no longer wore, and what was rare was that Yingchun gave her twenty taels of silver.

When Tanchun saw what Yingchun had given her, she gritted her teeth and took out a famous calligraphy piece, and Xichun gave her a painting.

In order not to be outshined by the others, Xue Baochai also gave a pair of red gold bracelets.

Lin Daiyu had witnessed the difficult lives of the common people with Lin Ruhai, so she did not laugh at Liu Laolao this time.

He gave Ban'er a set of newly made four treasures of the study and a set of the Four Books and Five Classics, and Yingchun also gave him twenty taels of silver.

This time, Aunt Liu left crying. The old ladies, grandmothers and girls had nothing to say about her.

When she got home, she used all these things to buy land. She bought about a hundred acres of good land and became a legitimate small landlord.

Time flies. Lin Ruhai has been the Minister of Revenue for three years and is favored by the emperor.

The emperor arranged for Lin Daiyu to marry the third prince born to the queen, and the marriage would be completed as long as Lin Daiyu reached the age of marriage.

Jia She also arranged Yingchun's marriage. After so many years of living together, they had developed a deep affection for each other. Jia She arranged a marriage for Yingchun with the second son of the Marquis of Zong'an.

Tanchun was dejected, as all these people had their fates. Lady Wang usually didn't go out to socialize. She was also a concubine's daughter, which made things even more difficult.

Yingchun's marriage came very quickly, after all, she was not young anymore. Fortunately, Mrs. Xing had saved a lot of dowry for Yingchun over the years.

Jia She contributed another 50,000 taels, plus the 10,000 taels given by the public treasury, the 5,000 taels subsidized by Jia Mu, the betrothal gift from the man, and the dowry from relatives and friends, it was already very decent.

Jia She also gave Yingchun several farms, shops and houses. After all, he had confiscated a lot of these things when he searched the servants' houses. Jia She picked out the best ones and prepared a lot of them for Yingchun.

Therefore, Yingchun's dowry was not much less than Yuanchun's, and she also got married in a formal and elegant manner with a red wedding dress that stretched ten miles.

Dowry is a girl's life. The Yong'an Earl's Mansion was very satisfied with Yingchun's dowry. After returning home three days later, Yingchun looked visibly fatter.

Two months after Yingchun got married, news came from the court that Prince Nan'an of Xihaiyan was defeated and captured.

The Kingdom of Java spread the news that it would only release the Prince of Nan'an if the imperial court agreed to a marriage alliance.

The emperor was so angry that he smashed the paperweight and tea bowl in the court, cursing: "What a loss of power and humiliation to the country! Loss of power and humiliation to the country! Bah! Why not let him die outside!

My princess won't marry him off! How can he be worthy? Doesn't he already have a princess in the Nan'an Palace? Let them use their own daughter to marry off!

Don't even expect the imperial court to give them a dowry!"

How could the Concubine Nan'an bear to let her daughter marry a foreign prince, so she thought of adopting a goddaughter in the minister's family.

The families of the ministers in the court were even more vicious than the Nan'an Concubine. After all, for a girl from a remote island stranded overseas, marrying off was as good as dying. They would never see each other again in this life.

When the Nan'an Concubine was in great distress, Mrs. Wang came forward, took out 100,000 taels of silver, and pushed Tanchun out.

Mrs. Wang thought she was being very discreet, but Grandmother Jia slapped her in the face:

"That vicious woman has called you mother for over ten years. In what way has she not been devoted to you?

How can you be so cruel? This delicate girl has only had a few good days with me.

You pushed me into the fire pit in the blink of an eye! You have children too, aren't you afraid of retribution in the underworld?

You're still not a virtuous person at such an old age! Return that silver to me immediately! If you bring disaster to the Empress's future, I'll kill you!

Jia's mother sent the draft for 100,000 taels of silver back to the Nan'an Palace overnight. The Nan'an Concubine was so angry that she went to the Jia Mansion with a full ceremonial guard the next day.

What can you do if I use my power to pressure you? The Nan'an Concubine didn't care about anything else in order to save her son.

Lin Ruhai took action here. He had long looked down on the good-for-nothing Prince Nannan.

This kind of scum who is incompetent and brings disaster to the country and the people should just die as soon as possible! Every girl is born by her parents, why should she go to such a desolate place?

The next day, Lin Ruhai listed all of Prince Nan'an's crimes at the court meeting and knelt on the ground, saying, "Long live Prince Nan'an, who has lost power and humiliated the country. Because of his underestimation of the enemy and his reckless advance, the court has suffered heavy losses.

I beg Your Majesty to severely punish the Prince of Nan'an. My princess cannot marry into the foreign country. The Kingdom of Java is stomping on the faces of our king and ministers. They are testing our attitude.

If I agree to them this time, they might go even further next time!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Lin Ruhai was indeed a loyal minister. His words touched the heart!
