"That's all. I'm old and can't control them that much. Just let them do whatever they want. Anyway, they are now blinded by wealth and power and can no longer listen to my words. They only pity my Baoyu and will be implicated by them in the future.
What should we do if we suffer? Feng Yatou, please call Baoyu and Jin Yatou over tomorrow." After saying that, he pondered again and said: "If there is a way, please call the three girls over too."
Sister Feng agreed and invited Baoyu and Jingui over the next day. Tanchun was also invited, but Mrs. Wang left her to embroider Buddhist scriptures, so she had no time to come over now.
When Jia Mu heard about it, she and Sister Feng looked at each other helplessly and could only sigh.
After Baoyu and Jingui paid their respects to Jia Mu, Jia Mu kindly asked them about their lives after getting married, from housekeepers to whether the maids were obedient. They asked them one by one, and finally asked casually: "Now you are the one in your house."
My wife takes care of the house herself, what about the two of you? Are your wives also in charge of it?"
Baoyu glanced at his wife, a little confused, wondering why the old lady asked such a question.
But Xia Jingui was having a great fight with Mrs. Wang, so she said with a smile: "To be fair to the old lady, my grandson's daughter-in-law is in charge of the dowry and the village, house and money that the former son's old lady gave to the second master."
, I am also running those shops, and the money that comes in is considered to be in our courtyard. Madam is 'kind', so of course we don't have to hand it over. Besides, my previous housekeeper didn't manage it well and made me too angry, so I will
This matter of the housekeeper has been handed over, but our courtyard naturally takes care of itself, and my wife sees that Second Master Bao is filial, so she has not interfered."
Mother Jia's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but look at each other with Sister Feng.
This wife can do it!
In terms of eloquence and brains, she is no less than Xifeng!
Who doesn't know that the second wife only cares about money, and is ruthless in tactics and scheming.
Now in order to save her daughter, she only sees yellow and white things.
If Xia Jingui was weak, she might have caught the dowry, shop and money long ago.
This Jingui could easily resist Mrs. Wang's hand, which shows that she is not an easy person.
Baoyu has found a treasure!
Thinking of this, Jia Mu nodded with great satisfaction, and asked: "What's the monthly salary the government will give you? Now that you're married, you should receive dividends during the New Year, but have you been told how much we'll give you?"
Jin Gui replied respectfully: "The monthly schedule given to us by the mansion is the same as that of my sister-in-law. Each of us is paid twelve taels of silver per month. As for the dividends from the mansion at the end of the year, neither the master nor the wife mentioned it, and we didn't ask."
Jia Mu frowned and said, "Only ten taels? It's too little."
Jin Gui said: "To be fair to the old lady, all the shops in Jia's house are losing money now and there is no income. Today is different from the past. Everywhere in the house should be frugal now, so our monthly salary is January 12; her monthly salary is also reduced now."
Yes, it’s eighteen taels a month; the third sister still gets two taels of silver a month; Brother Huan and Aunt Zhou get two taels of silver a month; Brother Lang and his sister-in-law are not only given. There is no shortage in our courtyard.
That little bit of money is at least not rare... and I’m not worried about the bonuses either.”
Jia Mu sneered and said: "She does know how to be frugal." She thought for a while and said: "Anyway, the end of the year is not here yet, so let's not talk about the dividends. With my wife here, I will not make you feel wronged. But now you are
Where are all the things put?”
Jin Gui said: "Don't worry, old lady, my grandson's daughter-in-law has a small courtyard with three entrances each on Zijin Street and Yuhua Lane. My daughter-in-law puts her things there and has someone specially guard them. My grandson's daughter-in-law often goes there to check, and the second master has also been there.
.”
Mother Jia breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded with a smile. She was really satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law. It seemed that although Mrs. Wang could only see three feet away, she was a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse and found Baoyu.
I have such a good and stable wife.
Mother Jia was really satisfied.
After a pause, Jia's mother said: "I'm very relieved that Jin girl is acting in a safe manner. She is worthy of being a person who has taken care of the house and business. You can live a good life. If you have time, come and see me often. Baoyu also
Be more considerate, be kind to Jin Yatou, let me see your great-grandson as soon as possible, I will be happy, and I can close my eyes with peace of mind. I will not let down your golden marriage."
Jin Gui blushed with embarrassment.
But Baoyu knelt down and kowtowed: "My ancestors must not dare to say that. It is my grandson who is useless and makes my ancestors worry." He added: "Jingui is good, and my grandson also loves her in his heart. Naturally...
Naturally I will treat her with care."
Jin Gui was stunned and lowered his head, feeling very uncomfortable.
Although she met Baoyu late, when she married, she did a good job of investigating the rights and wrongs of Baoyu in Grand View Garden, and knew that there were three people who had left an impression on Baoyu in his heart.
One is Princess Lang who married Prince Heng, and is now Princess Lin. She is an unattainable role and the goddess in Baoyu's heart.
The other is the old lady’s niece, Shi Xiangyun, who belongs to a Shuanghou family.
She grew up with Baoyu. When she was a child, she might have made many long-term promises. A few years ago, the news spread throughout the capital.
Because Baoyu didn't cherish and take responsibility, the woman married the son of a high-ranking official from other places and now she has also moved to Beijing.
The last one is the wife of Yipin Gaoming, Bo Zhongqin, and the wife of Lin Zhao, the left governor of the Jinyi Guard.
It is said that he is dignified and polite, plump and beautiful, but he often talks to Baoyu about the principles of economic and official career, so that Baoyu appears to be bored, but in fact he is afraid that there are some ripples.
These three women are already in the past tense. Even if Baoyu has them in his heart, I'm afraid they don't have Baoyu in their heart at this time.
Besides, he is married to him, which shows that he is willing to forget about the past thoughts, but he cannot completely forget them for a while. After getting along for a long time, he and he are also in love, and he can still give more in his heart.
He had some room for himself. However, looking at it today, even if he and he were on equal terms and the husband and wife were harmonious, Baoyu was still upset!
However, Xia Jingui is also a long-time businessman and understands Baoyu's entangled mentality of "the less you get, the better", so as long as you treat him well, treat him with respect and treat him as a guest, you will definitely be able to win his heart.
When the time comes for you to have children and establish yourself through the Rongguo Mansion, you will become a wealthy family.
She jumped from a merchant to the top of the Zhou Dynasty.
She has the confidence to make her next generation better and nobler.
With such ambition, Jin Gui smiled solemnly, followed Bao Yu, Sister Jia Mu and Feng and others to say goodbye, and took the car back to Jia's Mansion behind Rong Guo Mansion. After greeting Mrs. Wang, Bao Yu went to the outer study to read the account books. Jin Gui
Returning to his yard, he sat down quietly by himself, rubbing his temples and thinking about it carefully.
She was born as a businesswoman, and she has known since she was a child that she can speak human words to others and speak evil things to ghosts.
I also know that different personalities should be treated in different ways.
If the person she marries is also a businessman, he will naturally have to take over the power of running the family in a vigorous and decisive way.
For a rich and noble son, it is best to use the spring breeze to turn into rain, to use softness to overcome strength, to capture the heart of the husband's family, to resist the oppression of the mother-in-law, and to use his generous dowry as the basis to gradually control the power of running the family.
Anyway, no matter what it is, the final winner must belong to her, Xia Jingui.
In the entire Jia Mansion, except for Jia Tanchun, the third girl who is about to be married, all the people from outside the area are just rotten wood.
However, although Jia Tanchun was "talented, smart and ambitious", she was born as a concubine and her fate could only be controlled by Mrs. Wang. I heard that she was going to marry the third son of Da Sima Jia Yucun.
It's a pity that Chun is still several years younger.
"Speaking of which, Girl Tan is several years older than the Third Young Master of Da Sima. Is there anything wrong with getting married like this?"
At this time, in the main hall of Jia Mansion, Aunt Xue said to Mrs. Wang while eating melon seeds.
Aunt Xue's expression and complexion were very good at this time, and her smile was from ear to ear.
There is a sense of joy in both body and mind.
Her son Xue Pan married a good wife, Li Min, and her daughter Baochai married a super good husband and became a first-grade wife, a hundred times more powerful than her sister.
Mrs. Wang looked at her biological sister, with a strong sense of sadness in her heart. But she said calmly: "This is what the empress in the palace meant. She said that Baoyu has been wronged and married to a lowly person. The third girl absolutely cannot
For those who marry low, Jia Yucun is a big Sima, and the third son of his family is also good. Tanchun can marry her, it is a blessing..."
But at this moment, a woman suddenly walked in like a storm, and shouted from a distance: "It's incredible, it's incredible! The third son of Jia Da Sima actually dared to stand in front of the palace gate.
The former imperial guard went against the grain and was directly killed by the Imperial Guards."
