Let me cultivate immortals in the world of film and television

Chapter 153

Since before the Spring Festival, the Jia family has never been idle.This Spring Festival is a big event, unless the family observes filial piety, no matter what, the Spring Festival should have the ostentation.

It's hard to get through the first few days of the Spring Festival. Since the eighth day of the new year, Jia's family has never been idle.

Mother-in-law visits are different from ordinary things.The palace will send someone over to check it out.Where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, and where to retire, all these must be planned in advance.

Originally, if the empress had a high rank or was favored, the eunuchs who came to check would not deliberately embarrass the family members.However, Jia's mansion gave the palace people the impression that the people here have a lot of money and money, and the virtuous concubine is not favored, so these people don't have too many scruples.

Wherever the arrangements are made, they can always pick out the inadequacies, and point the whole family around, and there is nothing you can do about it.After being picky and embarrassing a few times, the Jia family also understood.If you want things to go smoothly, you still need money to open the way.

It is not once or twice that Jia's family sent money to the palace, and they are familiar with the way.I thought that since I had a concubine, this item could be saved.Looking at the current situation, there is no way to save money.Okay, then give it away, it is only decent if the mother goes home to visit her relatives.

But it’s worthless when it’s delivered, with a base of 1 taels of silver a day, and if you’re not satisfied, you’ll have to add more.What's wrong with this, the money at home was not brought by the strong wind, so it couldn't stand such a toss.

I went out and inquired around, and found that although other natal families also had this situation, it was not as serious as the Jia family.In the final analysis, the men of the Jia family are still worthless, and they don't have this face in front of the emperor.

After swiping around, I realized that only Wang Ziteng and Lin Ruhai could speak in front of others.However, one of these two people was patrolling the frontier, and the other had a bad relationship with his family.

There is no way but to find the ancestors at home and see what can be done.

There was nothing Jia Mu could do, so she had to say: "I'll write a letter to Uncle Lin, you can find someone to send it to him, and see what he has to say."

It was under such circumstances that Lin Ruhai received Jia Mu's letter, and he didn't know what to say.

This time, the people responsible for the inspection were all Xia Shouzhong's people. This Xia Shouzhong was the chief steward of the palace, and the emperor had served him since he was a child.Without the emperor's consent, would he dare to let his subordinates ask for bribes so unscrupulously?

In any case, Lin Ruhai would not get involved in this family matter. He also wrote a letter to Mother Jia, saying that he was not familiar with the people in the palace. Give more filial piety and the like.

Lin Ruhai obviously didn't want to participate, and even spoke for the people in the palace, telling the Jia family that the money you gave was still a little short.

This matter was not hidden from the emperor. When the emperor received the letter, he said to Xia Shouzhong: "This Lin Ruhai is also quite interesting, and now he has become so rascal."

Xia Shouzhong also knew that the emperor was praising Lin Ruhai for his understanding of the king's heart, so he also hinted to his subordinates, don't save money for Jia's family, but ask for it vigorously. After this village, there will be no such shop.

How could Jia's family expect to add such a large amount of expenses when the mother came to visit her relatives, and the family did not prepare such a large amount of money.Jia's mother took her two sons and asked them to pay for money. Jia Amnesty also acted like a rogue, and gave 1 taels and nothing happened.In desperation, the majority of the money was paid by Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Wang gave out the money, and she felt very unhappy, so she asked Jia Zheng to discuss: "The imperial decree only said that the family visits on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but it didn't say how many days the relatives can stay. If the time is short, Our family can still support it. But if it takes a long time, the family’s money will not come together. Master, you might as well inquire about the time of your mother’s visit, so that we can prepare in advance.”

But Jia Zheng blushed, he was just a fifth-rank official who didn't care about anything, how could he have the face to inquire about such a big matter.

"Your Majesty wants to visit her relatives for a few days, it still depends on the emperor's grace, where to go to find out. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for your Majesty to go home and stay permanently. It is good if you can stay for the first month. You just follow the half-month Spend and prepare, and you must not wrong your empress."

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she had no choice but to spend 10 taels before the concubine's visit. If she lived for half a month, plus the expenses of the empress, 20 taels would not be enough.

Originally, Mrs. Wang thought that the empress could stay at home for a few more days, but now it seems that the empress should go back earlier.Having said that, Mrs. Wang also had to make more preparations, and secretly took some of her private room to prepare.

Lin Ruhai originally thought that Jia's family was busy enough so that he could be free for a few days, but he really found that he was too naive.That letter had just been delivered to Mother Jia, and it was estimated that the pen and ink hadn't dried yet, and another letter came.

This time, I came to invite the Lin family to meet the empress, and I plan to take Lin Daiyu over and learn the etiquette to avoid mistakes.Even the Jia family was quite thoughtful and sent an invitation to Wang Zhanjun.

"Zhan Jun, you don't need to pay attention to this matter, just concentrate on preparing for the next spring."

Lin Ruhai rubbed his head, really didn't understand what the Jia family was going to do.It is reasonable for you to invite the Lin family, after all, the two are relatives.But what are you asking Wang Zhanjun for? Can you still let the empress see him?

"Father, don't be angry. Maybe my grandmother is getting old and confused. I'll send someone to tell my grandmother, and let this matter be over."

Jiamu's seniority is high, and Lin Ruhai has no good way to deal with her.

"Yu'er, don't bother with this matter. I'll send someone to tell you the day before my mother visits my relatives. We are all foreign relatives and are not suitable to see your mother. Your wedding ceremony will be coming soon, and my Yu'er can be regarded as When you grow up, prepare well."

Lin Daiyu was born on the Huachao Festival, which falls on the twelfth day of the second lunar month. This year is her 15th birthday, which can be regarded as a big day for the Lin family.Lin Ruhai is determined to do something big for her daughter, to make up for what she owed her in the past.

The Lin family didn't have a mistress, so Lin Ruhai could only ask Shen Bin's wife to come over and give advice. The housekeeper and Lin Daiyu were in charge of the specific matters.

Lin Daiyu not only had to learn the rules from her nanny, but also had to think about how to arrange the guests who came, for fear of making mistakes and losing face.

It can be said that now Lin Daiyu is no less leisurely than the Jia family, how can she have so much free time to pay attention to the affairs of the Jia family.

After delivering the letter to Lin Ruhai, Jia Lian returned home in a state of embarrassment, and complained to Wang Xifeng, "What do you call this? I dare not look at Uncle Lin's face. Mother, why do you still want to drag Wang Zhanjun?"

Wang Xifeng couldn't be more clear about Mother Jia's heart: "What else can it be for? We have to show others such a big scene in our family. Although Uncle Lin hasn't appointed Wang Zhanjun as his son-in-law, it's almost the same thing. The old lady is not convinced, she thinks that Baoyu is much better than others, and this is to show others off."

Jia Lian pouted, wondering how Baoyu could compare with others.Our family is too busy these days to turn around. What is Baoyu doing? He is busy playing with his aunt.You must know that the empress is his own elder sister, so it's no big deal not to let him come over to help with such things.
