Red House Shoufu

Chapter 250 My Royal Family Has No Poor Relatives!

Originally thought it was the food and meat brought back from Wang Ziteng's mansion, but he didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret in it.

After hearing about the Second Mistress of Rongguo Mansion, she was taken aback and said, "So that's the case, Rongguo Mansion is quite benevolent."

"The broth is ready..."

Suddenly a cheer came from outside the yard, interrupting the conversation between the two.The old patriarch clasped his fists and said, "It's really rude to be dragged by the old man to talk about such a bad thing when you are a guest outside the staff. The broth is already ready, so how about we eat soup and rice and drink some dirty wine?"

Huang Yuanwai replied with a smile and said, "I will stick to my wish, but I dare not ask for it."

Following Huang Yuanwai's voice, his two sons also stood up and bowed: "Thank you, old man, junior!"

After all, Wangjiazhuang encountered a year of food shortage. The ingredients and accessories in the broth were all crude things, but the chef's craftsmanship was good, and he used the deliciousness of the meat to the extreme.

Huang Yuanwai's father and son and the old patriarch drank a lot of the farm's fermented rice with soup and rice.With the warmth brought by the bonfire and the delicious broth, the women and daughters in the village sang songs.

The dolls ran and played in the crowd, until Huang Yuanwai led someone away, and the old patriarch arranged for someone to deliver some freshly baked sesame seed cakes and bacon.

When the crowd cleared, the old patriarch handed some pieces of silver to Grandma Liu: "This is left by that Huang Yuanwai. It weighs about ten taels. You keep it."

"Master Patriarch, it's too much, too much..." Grandma Liu quickly refused. Although she wanted it very much, it was just a few bowls of meat. How could she accept so much money.

She remembered that quite a few tribesmen toasted her and her son-in-law just now, and her eyes lit up: "Why don't you use this money to buy some rice and put it in the clan. If any family runs out of grain, you can use these to make up for it."

The old man stared at Grandma Liu for a long time, and finally sighed: "You are a man of great wisdom. It is his blessing to have you as a mother-in-law!"

……

The carriage that left from Wangjiazhuangzi moved forward slowly, surrounded by many guards with armor.

"My lord, the old slave just inquired around the neighborhood. It is true that the Wang Family Village has not been in contact with the county magistrate's mansion for many years. The closest time was when the grandfather of that family was a small official in the capital, and the concubine Xianfei. His grandparents even crossed the clan."

It turns out that the mysterious Huang family father and son are the current emperor and prince Gao Wancheng and Gao Wanxuan.Today they went to the imperial mausoleum in the west of Beijing, firstly to pay homage to their ancestors, and secondly, as a private visit in micro-services, to inspect the situation in the west of Beijing.

When I passed by Wangjiazhuang just now, I smelled the smell of meat. In this famine year, which farmhouse would cook so much meat?In addition, Xiu Yiwei said that this was Wang Ziteng's relatives, so he went to solve his doubts on the pretext of being hungry.

Xia Shouzhong on the carriage explained to the emperor: "That Wang Gou'er is timid and thin-skinned. If it wasn't his mother-in-law, or the old woman who just sat with the emperor, he gave up his face and went to the capital to borrow food. It is estimated that in a few days, his family will run out of food."

"What's the reputation of this king dog?" asked the emperor who had been silent for a long time.

Xia Shouzhong said truthfully: "Because he is timid and thin-skinned, he is sincere and treats his mother-in-law like his own mother. He is known as filial piety in ten miles and eight villages."

The emperor nodded and said: "The country governs the world with filial piety. After returning, let the Shuntian Mansion give a plaque to the family of loyalty and filial piety to show its filial piety."

"Why didn't the father personally give the plaque?" Gao Wanxuan was playing with a straw grasshopper next to him, which was given to him by the little doll of Wang Gou'er's family just now.Of course, he also gave the child a jade pendant that he carried with him.

The emperor did not answer, but turned his attention to Gao Wancheng: "Cheng'er, tell me?"

Gao Wancheng replied: "If the emperor bestows kindness on his own, I don't know how many people will be attracted to Wang Gou'er's family. His family may not be able to bear it. Shuntian Mansion is different. It has the responsibility to encourage goodness and filial piety. Well, Wang Gou'er's filial piety is well-known, and no one else would think of his father. With this plaque, it can also bring great benefits to the Wang family."

The family of loyalty and filial piety can exempt several acres of grain tax and corvee. In this way, the Wang family and the scholar's family are basically the same.

The emperor nodded approvingly, and then said to his two sons: "You have also seen today that there are still many people in the world who are worrying about eating. Half of the Zhuangzi we passed by were suffering from famine. In the face of disaster, if you have a long-term mission, you should work hard."

The two princes nodded in response: "I understand."

"Big Companion, let the imperial concubine give some rewards to Jia Lian's wife and daughter when you go back, to show his benevolence."

After the emperor ordered Xia Shouzhong, he suddenly felt a little funny.Jia Lian's wife, Wang Shi, was dragged by her husband three years ago because of loan sharks, and went door-to-door to apologize for compensation.

Unexpectedly, there will be such a big change today, which is quite different from the performance of the Bowang family in the ruling county.

Gao Wancheng asked, "Since Wang's Zhuangzi is a member of Uncle Wang's family, why was he rejected? Could it be that Uncle Wang is also a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich? Does he not care about the reputation of the Wang family at all? "

"Your Highness doesn't know something. Uncle Wang probably doesn't know about these things at all. These years, Uncle Wang's thoughts have been spent on the court, and most of the family affairs are managed by his younger brother Wang Zisheng."

Xia Shouzhong was very familiar with the Wang family's situation, and explained to Gao Wancheng: "Compared with Wang Xianbo, this Wang Zisheng is greedy, tyrannical, and extremely vicious. The people in Wang's Zhuangzi are already out of the fifth service, and they are regarded as the most ruthless. It is also reasonable for house slaves to refuse the door."

snort!
The emperor snorted coldly, what he hated the most was bullying the master with a slave.No matter how poor Grandma Liu is, no matter how poor the people in the Wang family's village are, they are still members of the Wang family, and they can be regarded as the masters who control the county uncle's mansion.

A servant who dares to treat his master like this should be beaten to death!

There was no talk in the carriage, only the creaking of the wheels on the official road.

……

Of course, people in Rongguo Mansion didn't know that Wang's Zhuangzi had an extraordinary encounter because of a bowl of broth.At this time, Wang Xifeng was holding her daughter Jia Xuan, whispering about Grandma Liu to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian touched his wife's smooth and tender skin and said with a smile: "This is beautifully done. Believe it or not, in a few days, restaurants and teahouses in the capital will spread the name of our family's benevolence."

"That's not the case, it's just some food and money. How many people know that a poor relative has come to our family?"

Hearing his wife's doubts, Jia Lian chuckled: "When Xing'er reported the matter today, Big Brother Xu and the others happened to be at the door. Master accidentally made his voice louder, and they heard it..."

Wang Xifeng suddenly realized, covering her mouth and laughing: "Second master was not careful, maybe it was on purpose. Second master is really unparalleled in wisdom. In this way, our family's reputation for being kind to distant relatives will spread."

……

As soon as Lin Shu returned home, Wang Lun, the first secret agent of the Lin Mansion, brought news of the control of the County Bo Wang's family.

Since the brothers and sisters of the Lin family came to Beijing, strangers wandered around in front of the Lin residence from time to time.Returning them in the same way, after Lin Shu found out the masters behind these people, he immediately asked Wang Lun to select many Lin family to have children, and they haunted various places in the capital every day.

Prince Teng, the uncle of the ruling county, was the family Wang Lun cared most about.

Today Wang Ziteng went to Rongguo Mansion as a guest. He would never have imagined that the slaves in his own mansion would reject the members of the Wang family, and even humiliated them in public, saying that the Wang family did not have such poor relatives.

"Master, the villain has already inquired clearly. Uncle Wang really doesn't know about this. The third master of the Wang family has changed a lot of Uncle Wang's staff over the years. The gatekeepers may not even know that their family is in the west of Beijing. A group of clansmen are here."

Wang Lun reported the news to Lin Shu one by one, and finally said with a few clicks: "The old woman brought her young grandson, whose legs are weakening from hunger, and the villain sent it in a carriage. It's at the back door of Rongguo Mansion."

"Well done!"

Lin Shu praised him, and then ordered: "Let our people spread the word about this tomorrow. Since the Wang family doesn't want to be famous, let's help out!"

"What about the Rongguo Mansion?"

"Naturally spread the word! Where is the good or bad without comparison?"

Lin Shu said with a smile: "My cousin's reputation was not good in the past few years, so I just took this opportunity to improve it. Remember to go to the west of Beijing to see how Grandma Liu's situation is. If there is anything wrong, Let Cousin Lian help out again. Isn’t fame accumulated bit by bit like this?”

……

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the Great Court Meeting had just ended, and the Ministry of Rites had already received an order from the cabinet.

Lin Shu assisted Qian Qianli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, with the title of doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and negotiated with the envoys of Oala, Tatar and Raksha.

Of course, the civil and military officials of the imperial court almost got into a fight because of the negotiation, especially the violent princes on Wu Xun's side, who were about to beat to death in front of the emperor a few who wanted to exchange land and compensation for peace time Wenchen.

After the dark-faced emperor ordered the big Han general to pull away the civil and military officials who were wrestling together, he reprimanded Wu Xun who took the lead, and comforted the civil servants who were beaten, and then set the tone of the negotiation.

The mutual market is fine, but it must be done according to Da Chu's wishes.As for the cession of land compensation and marriage?dream!

Lin Shu had handed over the negotiation strategy he had written all day and night to Qian Qianli one day earlier, and Qian Qianli helped him modify the outdated parts before presenting it to the emperor.

When he saw the immature part of the strategy book, the emperor once said to Qian Qianli: "It is still progress. Two years ago, when he was still in mourning, he published a book about opening the sea. He was quite scholarly. But his thoughts , I still think it is very good. There are many aspects that are feasible.”

At this time, Qian Qianli, who was walking in the imperial city, saw Lin Shu who was following him looking eager to try, so he told him: "Don't interrupt the negotiation later, the old man and the court officials are in charge of everything!"

"Ah, teacher, didn't you mean to let the students try to test their depth?" Lin Shu asked suspiciously, puzzled.

Qian Qianli patted Lin Shu on the shoulder, and explained: "Naturally, I will give you a chance, but our main task today is to put on the majesty of the imperial court, so it is most appropriate for me, the Minister of Rites, to do it!"

It turned out to be the case, Lin Shu nodded and said: "Student understands!"

　As soon as I got the rabies vaccine, I developed an allergic reaction and had a fever. After sleeping all afternoon, I felt refreshed.I can't bear it after writing [-] words, so I will stop here tonight, and continue tomorrow when I have the energy.

　　Good night, readers!
