To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 362: Love in the Red Mansion is as Deep as the Sea 42
Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai had a competition. Xue Baochai gave small favors to make the servants praise her for being good and virtuous.
Xiren in Baoyu's room was getting a little restless. Miss Bao was fair and peaceful, but if it were Miss Shi, it would be a bad thing. She would not tolerate any injustice and would not tolerate others.
The Shi family's return of the money to the treasury was a bit of a burden, and now even the servants who worked on needlework had to cut a lot of it. Shi Xiangyun had endless needlework to do every day.
She also hoped that Lady Jia would remember her and go to the Jia Mansion to spend a few comfortable days. Her sisters' marriages were all settled, leaving only her and Xue Baochai.
Shi Xiangyun was uneasy about how much dowry her uncle and aunt would leave her, after all, it was a girl's confidence. After so many years, some of the materials of her mother's dowry were no longer fashionable.
She didn't know whether her uncle and aunt would replace her with a new one. This time, Grandmother Jia took her to stay in the mansion for a while. Shi Xiangyun packed her clothes and went there happily with her maid.
That day, Mrs. Xing came to pay her respects to Lady Jia. Mrs. Xing had been living a very comfortable life recently. Yingchun had established herself in her husband's family and was pregnant.
Today she came specifically to deliver a letter to the old lady. After the relationship with Jia She eased over the years, Mrs. Xing's brothers from her natal family also received support.
Jia She found a position as a city gate tax collector for Xing Furen's brother from her mother's family. Although the position was not of high rank, it was very lucrative and he could make several hundred taels of silver a year.
Don't underestimate these few hundred taels. The Xing family's living standards have improved immediately.
The family only needed about a hundred taels of silver at most, and Mrs. Xing decided to let them buy land with the remaining money. In the past few years, Mrs. Xing's family had saved up a lot of money and bought a small farm of more than 200 acres.
Money makes money, interest compounds interest. This is how the poor people live. How many of them can eat lobster and abalone every day?
For ordinary people, stewed cabbage with meat is a top-notch delicacy. Those who eat dry rice every day are wealthy families, and poor families only eat dry rice when they do hard work.
Normally, we have two meals a day, and most of them are just various kinds of porridge that can barely fill our stomachs. There are no delicious dishes waiting for us, and we even have to count the pickles before eating.
Salt was not cheap at all in ancient times, and Chinese people were good at making a living based on their ancestors' traditions. Here is a true story: there was a landlord who had thousands of acres of fertile land, and several of his daughters-in-law made a plate of pickles with chili peppers.
I ate all the pickles along with the porridge. My mother-in-law coughed and said, "You guys are really good at bringing good fortune!"
Just a plate of pickles without any seasoning. This is what the landlords eat! Don't even think about how the poor are treated. If you can understand the muddled porridge, you're living a good life.
As soon as Mrs. Xing walked to the rockery, she saw the silly girl in Lady Jia's room holding a bellyband in her hand.
Mrs. Xing even joked with the silly girl: "Where are you going? I just saw Liuli take a plate of fruit. Didn't she give you any?"
The silly girl drooled and said, "I'm watching goblins fight!"
Mrs. Xing then noticed the bellyband in the silly girl's hand and quickly snatched it away. She almost fainted at the sight of it. This was the erotic bellyband.
How could such a dirty thing happen in the mansion? Mrs. Xing angrily found Mrs. Wang with her bellyband.
Mrs. Wang was a little confused when she saw her sister-in-law's cold expression, and hurriedly asked Yuchuan to serve tea.
Madam Xing said coldly, "Yuchuan, step back! Aunt Zhao, you all step back too! Anyone who hears anything today will be beaten to death!"
Madam Wang dismissed her attendants, and Madam Xing took out the bellyband and said, "Sister-in-law, I always thought you were a careful person. Why are you so confused now?
Today, when I went to pay my respects to the old lady and passed by the rockery, I saw the silly girl holding this in her hand!
As a sister-in-law, I can’t say much. What would happen if outsiders saw what happened today? "
Madam Xing returned to the East Courtyard in great splendor, leaving Madam Wang disheveled in the wind. Zhou Rui was sold away and now lives in Zhou Rui's family, relying on Madam Wang for survival and living in Madam Wang's side room.
Zhou Ruijia heard his wife yelling in frustration, "Where are all the dead people? Is there anyone still breathing who can come here?"
Zhou Ruijia hurried into the upper room and said, "Madam, who made you angry? I'd say the eldest wife is always a hassle. Madam, we won't argue with a poor woman like her."
Mrs. Wang clutched her chest and said, "We've all become blind and deaf! The eldest lady sent this today! My heart is so broken!"
When Zhou Ruijia saw the bellyband, she knew that something had happened: "Madam, it's because you are usually so kind and soft-hearted that you let them become so ignorant.
We're having a tough time right now, and it's getting increasingly difficult to withdraw money from the outer court account office. I think we should take this opportunity to get rid of those stubborn people!
Mrs. Wang sat there with tears in her eyes: "Ah, I don't want to be like this. Although I haven't experienced great wealth, I am better off than the children after all.
How many people are there in the children's room now? How precious and pampered is Miss Lin's mother at home?
Nowadays, the children's life is just a little better than that of beggars, but a few days ago I saw a girl with a slender waist and thin shoulders standing under the porch and scolding a little girl.
At first glance, she looks so charming and seductive that she doesn't seem like a good person! Let's get rid of all the troubles in the house first!"
The whole Jia Mansion was in chaos. Mrs. Wang, along with Zhou Rui's wife and a group of maids, began their search and picking up things.
The first thing to be affected was Baoyu's courtyard. These days, Mrs. Wang has been worried about the slender figure's back.
She thought of the deceased Jia Min and Aunt Zhao who was always jumping around in front of her. She rushed to Baoyu's yard and finally caught Qingwen.
Madam Wang shouted, "Your good days are over! You've led a good man astray!"
Several maids dragged Qingwen out like wolves and tigers, and then they beat her up.
When I copied the assigned little actor, I finally found something wrong. Fang Guan copied men's shoes and socks.
When Zhou Ruijia saw that it was not Baoyu's thing, she showed it to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she asked their godmother to take them out.
No matter whose room the little actors were assigned to, they would all be sent out without exception.
After a chaotic night, Mrs. Wang became ill with a high fever and blisters all over her mouth.
Baoyu did not dare to plead for mercy, and could only send Mingyan to give Qingwen clothes and jewelry. In recent years, the maids in the Jia family who were well-known had accumulated some wealth.
Now Xiren was enjoying the allowance of a concubine, two taels of silver and one hundred coins per month.
This matter finally alarmed Lady Jia, who was old and shrewd and nothing could be hidden from her.
Grandmother Jia immediately blocked the news, and the mansion began a new round of inspections. Anyone who drank alcohol, was not diligent on night duty, or gathered to gamble was arrested.
Jia She applauded, thinking that having a group of idle people in this mansion was just the right time to clear out those difficult and troublesome people!
