Harry Potter Morning Light.

Chapter 2162 Flower Controversy (Seventy)

In Chapter 40 of A Dream of Red Mansions, Shi Taijun held two banquets in the Grand View Garden, and it was also the second time Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion.

At that time, they took a boat to Hengwuyuan, and they encountered residual lotus on the road, which was usually fine on the shore, but when they got into the water, the residual lotus was in the way, and almost capsized the boat.

Baoyu complained: "This broken lotus leaf is really hateful, why don't people pull it out?"

Baochai said with a smile: "In the past few days this year, why have you spared this garden to be idle and go shopping every day, and there is still time for someone to clean it up there."

But Daiyu said: I don't like Li Yishan's poems the most, but I only like his line "leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain", but you don't keep the residual lotus anymore.

Baoyu immediately changed his words: "Sure enough, it's a good sentence. Let's not ask people to pull it out in the future."

It can be seen from this that Baoyu's eccentricity is hopeless. No matter how beautiful or reasonable Baochai's words are, they are not as good as Lin Daiyu's "I like it".

Of course, this is not the point that Juren told Nick. After getting off the boat, they entered the Hengwu Garden together. The inside was like a snow cave, and there were no colorful playthings. chrysanthemum.

Hengwuyuan is Xue Baochai's residence, did Wang Xifeng treat her badly, or did she treat her badly?

Wang Xifeng doesn't like Xue Baochai, just like Mrs. Wang doesn't like Lin Daiyu.

Sister Feng is in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, and she doesn't want Xue Baochai, who is equally astute and capable, to divide her power. Mrs. Wang doesn't like Lin Daiyu because she doesn't want Lin Daiyu to marry Jia Baoyu. This time, Li Daiyu pours tea for her herself. Drink, she will not answer.

Daiyu was not only brought up by Wang Xifeng, but also she was weak and could not take care of the housework of the Rongguo Mansion, which was beneficial to Wang Xifeng.

At that time, for fun, the girls in the Grand View Garden deliberately played tricks on Grandma Liu, and they specially gave Grandma Liu a pair of square-edged ivory inlaid gold chopsticks for her to pick up pigeon eggs.

The ivory chopsticks are slippery and inlaid with gold. They are expensive, but they are very heavy. They can't hold the round pigeon eggs at all. As expected, Grandma Liu dropped the pigeon eggs on the ground.

At this time, Sister Feng said, there are one or two pigeon eggs, why are pigeons so expensive to lay eggs?It's almost a stone of rice.

There was such an incident that the concubines in the palace needed to buy some boxes to put things in. They had to buy a hundred in total. The Ministry of Internal Affairs went out to buy them, and a box cost 60 taels.

An official from another province didn't understand the way, so he whispered in the Queen Mother's ear, a box in the capital was only 6 taels, how could it become 60 taels?

The queen mother didn't believe it, and said that you bought a hundred of them within half a month, and the official really went to buy them. However, the next day, he found that all the luggage shops in the capital were closed, and he couldn't buy a single suitcase.

The servant inquired, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had sent someone to say hello, and whoever sold him the box would not be able to continue doing business in Beijing in the future.

The official didn't believe in evil, and sent someone to Tianjin to buy it, but the servant he sent never returned. It turned out that the Ministry of Internal Affairs bought him for 1000 taels, but he didn't buy the box, so he ran away with the money.

Half a month later, the box was not sold, and the queen mother laughed at him. Since then, no one has reminded the price difference between the price outside and the price in the palace.

Will Wang Xifeng go to the vegetable market and ask how much a catty of pigeon eggs is?She doesn't care how much the pigeon eggs cost per catty, but she knows that to make ends meet, she will lend usury.

Xue Baochai’s family has come down, and she lives in Ningguo Mansion like Lin Daiyu. The earthen vases for flower arrangement in her room are from Ding Kiln. There are two kinds of thickness. .

JDZ also produces porcelain, which is divided into official kilns and private kilns. There are many main sources of income for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, such as HLJ’s gold mine, Northeast antler ginseng, Jiangning weaving, JDZ official kilns, Huangzhuang, etc., and even the regular tax of Guangzhou Customs. The admiral's hometown is in JDZ.

When Heshen was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was mainly "open source". Every year, officials, salt merchants, and merchants would give gifts on the emperor's birthday, Mid-Autumn Festival, and New Year's Day. The warehouse was almost full, so He Shen thought of a way to sell those "old things" in Chongwenmen. This not only solved the problem of too many utensils and nowhere to put them, but also allowed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to "balance the income and expenditure." ".This year, a batch of "old things" were sold, and next year officials will pay tribute to make up for the tribute, and these artifacts have fallen into the hands of the people, the rich or collectors, and the hairpin of Juren is in the Chongwenmen "Old Objects Market" "bought.

As for paying tribute, how officials searched for common people.The first battle of Jinchuan was due to lack of finances, so the troops had to be withdrawn, and Zhang Guangsi, the governor of Sichuan and Shanxi, lost his head.

After the Lianghuai Yanyin case broke out, Qianlong was not in a hurry to do a census. In this way, apart from the few dead people and the Ministry of Household Affairs, no one knew how much Yanyin tax had not been paid. This was all a matter of Qianlong’s words, so He can make the salt merchant pay 400 million taels less at once.

The salt merchants hoped that they could get more salt, so they bribed the salt administrators and fought back and forth. Who would honestly tell other salt merchants how much salt they had allocated?

In this way, they can only be "apportioned" by the household department to pay the fine like the meat on the chopping board. It is true that they have lost all their property and can't pay back the money. The profit is also 1000 million taels.

The salt merchants themselves have to balance their income and expenditure. If they lend usury, those who owe the money will hate them. In addition to their previous occupation of the salt pond of the stove household, there is no one to speak for them.The census cannot be completed with the financial and human resources of a few salt merchants. It requires the cooperation of government departments at all levels of the state, prefecture, and county.

"People don't fight with officials", unless these salt merchants learn from private salt dealer Huang Chao to revolt, otherwise this loss can only be suffered by themselves.The White Lotus Sect in Sichuan and Chu played the banner of "officials forcing the people to rebel". Jiaqing attributed all the crimes to Heshen.

The admiral wrote a letter to sever diplomatic relations with Heshen, and he did not search for the people's fat and anointing in Guangzhou during his tenure, but what about JDZ? Did JDZ give you a gift?

Chongwenmen not only sells "old goods" from the palace, but also things confiscated from the officials' house raids. He Shen's house was ransacked.

Generally, when giving a gift, it must be written clearly who gave it. He Shen has been an official for so many years. As long as he is not obviously hostile, he will give some gifts because of affection. , and the name of the admiral happened to be written on it, so the target of the White Lotus Sect is not Guangzhou, but "Heshen's party" - the admiral himself.

"Wow." Georgiana couldn't help exclaiming.

Bonaparte laughed too.

"See, that's how stories are written," Georgiana said to failed writers.

"See, this is love!" Bonaparte pointed to the dialogue between Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu.

She pouted and turned to the next page, which had two mandarin ducks drawn on it.

Li Yishan is Li Shangyin. Nick searched his collection of poems, and there is a poem called "Mandarin Duck" written like this:

The male and female fly thousands of miles into the sky, and Yunluo is full of tears.

There is no need to make long-term vows, just lock in the golden cage to get the best of both worlds.

The full title of Chapter 40 of A Dream of Red Mansions is Shi Taijun Two Feasts at the Grand View Garden, Golden Mandarin Duck and Three Proclamations of Teeth.

Although Asuka wants to fly freely in the sky, but the clouds are full of eyes, and he will suffer from it if he is not careful.Although the golden cage loses freedom, it can be exchanged for stability, and does not want to form a relationship in the turmoil.

When she saw this, she suddenly remembered that a kind of fabric called "Light Smoke" was mentioned that time. This kind of fabric has only four colors, one is rainy sky blue, the same autumn fragrance, the same pine green, and the same silver red. If you make a curtain and paste the windows, it will look like smoke from a distance, and the beauty sitting by the window will look like a fairy in the clouds.

This time everyone was laughing, even Lin Daiyu, who loved to cry, was laughing, and there were no tears at all.

Hengwu is a chrysanthemum plant with fragrant leaves.

Xiaoxiang was originally an ordinary bamboo, but it became "Xiangfei Bamboo" because Ehuang and Nvying's tears were sprinkled on it.

Grandma Liu was teased and ridiculed, didn't she know?
But before she left, she took 100 taels of silver and an antique cup. These are nothing in the Grand View Garden, but they are enough for a poor person like her to live for a long time.

When Grandma Liu goes to Rongguo Mansion next time, it's time to raid the house.

"What are you thinking?" asked Bonaparte.

"I'm thinking about Cao Xueqin." She said regretfully, "It's a pity that the golden cage must be guarded to live in it."

Then she began to read the following.
