In the east courtyard of Jia's mansion, Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up after hearing the news from Wang Shanbao's family, and even two wrinkles disappeared.

She leaned on the kang table and asked: "Really? The second master over there was really reprimanded by the Holy One and ordered him to think behind closed doors?"

Wang Shanbao's family smiled obsequiously, narrowed their eyes, and spit like a star: "That's right, the sage said that the second master accepted bribes, and he was not an upright official."

"If it weren't for the sake of being a meritorious official and the father of your concubine, I would have seized the official position. It's already a grace to think about it behind closed doors for a year now. Oh, I guess, the old slave is going to mess up there."

Mrs. Xing lay down on the pillow and smiled, "We are all a family, don't say that. Let outsiders hear it, and think why our brothers are at odds."

She asked again: "Your Lian's second grandma knows about this, what is she doing?"

Wang Shanbao's family was thinking about Miss Ping's 200 taels of silver, and wanted to say something nice to Lian's second grandmother: "Second grandmother is raising a baby in the house."

"In the yard, Ping'er said that Second Grandma's fetal gas is weak, so she should take time to talk about anything. Think Second Grandma doesn't know about it?"

She smiled again and said: "Ma'am, this old slave thinks that even if the Second Mistress knows about it, she won't go to the old lady and speak well of the second room."

"Think about it, over the past six months or so, Second Mistress has respected you a lot. Even the matter of the housekeeper has been brought up with our Second Miss and Third Miss."

"After all, the second grandma is from the big house. She was young when she was the housekeeper, and she has relatives there. Naturally, she was fooled away with a few words."

"Now that I'm pregnant, I naturally know that the child is the most important thing. You see, although the second mistress can't come to pay her respects, she will bring all kinds of new gadgets to her wife when she thinks of it, and she is very filial."

"Isn't the golden hairpin on the wife's head the second grandma's filial piety?"

Mrs. Xing touched the hairpin on her head, closed her eyes and smiled, "You know a lot, you old bastard."

A few days later, Mrs. Xing inquired again and heard that Prince Teng, Governor of Sichuan, had also been scolded.

In Jia's mother's room, Jia Zheng said dejectedly, "I can't blame my son for this matter. If my brother-in-law hadn't recommended Jia Yucun, my son wouldn't have..."

After hearing this, Jia Mu said angrily: "Shangshu Lin recommended someone, so he still pressed your head and asked you to collect money? The main house is for you to live in, what's wrong with you?"

"If you're short of money, I've got everything. Just come and ask me for it. You're also a master, why are you so shallow? Now it's not just that the name of the Duke's Mansion is dusty, you've thought about the empress in the palace. No!"

Jia Zheng was reprimanded by Jia's mother, so he lowered his head and dared not say a word.

After talking, Jiamu saw Mrs. Wang standing there, but she lowered her head and did not dare to tell the difference, so she said, "Your Majesty ordered you to close the door and think about your mistakes, so you should stay in your room and don't go out if you have nothing to do."

"From the second family."

When Mrs. Wang heard Jia Mu calling her, she quickly answered.

"You just watch him carefully. If there are any messy people who write posts and want to come to visit, send them to me first!"

After speaking, Jia Mu closed her eyes and stopped looking at them.Seeing the wink from Yuanyang, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang retreated quietly, not daring to disturb Jia's mother.

When the two of them walked into the room, Jia Zheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, let out a "hum", and walked into the back room with his sleeves swung, without even looking at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang knew she was wronged, and she didn't lose her temper when she was dumped. She waved her hand to tell people to go down, and followed Jia Zheng into the back room.

Seeing his old wife like this, Jia Zheng was very annoyed, but in the end softened a bit, and asked: "My Rongguo Mansion's century-old savings are all in your hands, isn't it enough for you to spend?"

"Even I don't know about the collection of money from Jia Yucun. Madam is really very capable."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang lost her temper, raised her head and replied, "Master is not in charge of the family, so naturally he doesn't know how much our family is short of."

"In the past few years, the income from Zhuangzi has become less and less. Originally, the left and right branches can be used to make up for it. But it is almost like 'eat the grain in Yinnian'."

"Pian Niangniang conferred your concubine last year. Every time Eunuch Xia and Eunuch Zhou come to the palace, the reward can't be three or five hundred taels?"

"Ten trips this year cost a few thousand silver. Our family has a large population, and the number of people is increasing year by year, and the money spent is also increasing year by year."

"A total of 300 taels of silver were sent to the village in the winter of the previous year, but 800 taels went out of the account. The [-] taels sent last winter were spent in April."

"If we don't get some money from outside, the whole house won't be able to drink from the northwest wind? Let's just be frugal, so why don't we tell the old lady to cut down on food and clothing?"

At the end of speaking, Mrs. Wang felt very difficult, she couldn't help shedding two tears, and hurriedly wiped them away.

Although Jia Zheng has always ignored vulgar things and only drank and chatted with the gentlemen of Qing Dynasty, he is not an unreasonable person.

Even a five-year-old child knows that it must be a huge shortfall to come in with [-] and go out with [-].What's more, according to Mrs. Wang's opinion, the deficit has not only been a few years, which is really shocking to think about.

After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, he had nothing to say and remained silent for a while.The husband and wife just sat and sighed at each other.

When Wen Jiao heard that Jia Yucun had been dismissed again and became white, he was very happy.

There was nothing he could do about it, but he gave Jia Yucun such a great credit for catching the kidnapper, so that he passed the high-level examination back then, Wen Jiao felt very depressed when he thought about it.

Unexpectedly, he has always been greedy and cruel, and after seeking an official position again, he filled in the item of flattery.When the two are added together, don't you have to accept bribes?

He has only been in office for more than two years, and he has embezzled a total of 18 taels of silver and accepted more than 3000 in bribes.

Such a large number, according to the criminal law, should be beheaded for public display.After all, Jia Yucun only solved the kidnapper case last year and has a very good reputation in the south of the Yangtze River.Many families are grateful for Jia Yucun's kindness.

If the method of thunder is used, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be turbulent.Therefore, although the emperor was furious, he only ordered him to pay back the shortfall of money, and dismissing him would never be enough, so he let him go on his own.

After checking the whereabouts of the money from corruption and bribery in Jiayu Village, most of it went to Rongguo Mansion in the capital and Prince Teng in Sichuan.

The emperor held back the anger at Jia Yu Village, but half of it was spread on Jia Wang's two families.

Jia Zheng was only a member of the Ministry of Industry, and he was rewarded by the emperor for his father's sake.The emperor wanted to dismiss him, but he was worried about the emperor.

Besides, he had to use Jia Yuanchun as a target, her natal family couldn't fall first.Therefore, he only ordered Jia Zheng to go home and think about it for a year before returning to his post.

And Wang Ziteng is even more of a target, so he can't act easily.The Holy Majesty also only ordered him to take away his one-year salary and silver, and to write and reflect on his past and self-examination.

In this way, outsiders will only think that it was the Jiangsu incident that caused the emperor to be furious. Although Jia and Wang's family were reprimanded, it was the emperor's kindness that they were not hurt.Nor is it suspicious.

When can we not be restrained and eradicate these country moths!

The emperor walked around in Zichen Palace anxiously for several times, and ordered: "Go to Changle Palace."

Go and see Wenjun and the children for a change of mood.It's been three days since I went to see them, and I don't know if Erniu will speak ill of the emperor there.

Don't rush and be patient.

Before the emperor went out, he took another look at the four big characters hanging on the wall.

Not in a hurry.

I am still young, give me 20 years, and I will surely make the government clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment!

Little Qingyu had been born for three and a half months, her black eyes were rolling and she smiled when she saw anyone.

Wan Yan and Wan Bei both liked this fat little brother very much, and they teased this and that with a rattle.

Mrs. Feng also said to Wen Jiao enviously: "I think I can raise my children well, but I always feel that Qingyu looks much better than all three of my children when they were young."

"Ma'am, how did you raise this child? If there is any good way, can you also tell me."

Wen Jiao thought in his heart that this child is good-looking thanks to Lin Haida's strong genes, and everything else is just auxiliary means.

But the handsome Lin Hai is her exclusive property, Su Wenjiao, and she cannot lend it to others.

Yi Wenjiao said with a smile: "There is a Shui Sister in our mansion, who used to be the sixth-grade pharmacy department of the Shangshi Bureau of the Palace. I also depend on this Sister to take care of my baby."

"I have all the prescriptions here, but some of them are the exclusive secret recipes of Shui Momo. I will lead you to her residence later, and you can ask for it yourself, how about it?"

When Mrs. Feng heard the words "Food Bureau in the palace", and then thought of Wanyan's determination to enter the palace these two days, she couldn't help feeling sad.

Over there, the rattle in Wanyan's hand also stopped, and Qingyu grabbed it in her hand.Lu Qing had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly took the rattle over, preventing Qingyu from stuffing him in his mouth.

Wanyan came back to her senses and hurriedly apologized: "I didn't pay attention for a while, and my mind was distracted, nothing happened."

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's okay, this kid puts his hand in his mouth every day. His wet nurse stares at him every day, and his eyes are red from exhaustion."

Wen Jiao knew that something was up between Mrs. Feng and Wanyan.Seeing that the time was about the same, Wen Jiao ordered Daiyu to take the girls to the garden to play.

She dragged Feng Shi to the east room by herself, and asked, "Has anything happened to you and Wanyan?"

Wen Jiaoben guessed in his heart that Mrs. Feng wanted to divorce Wanyan, but Wanyan refused, and the mother and daughter had a dispute, so they were unhappy.

It can be seen that the mother and daughter were both fine just now, only when she talked about Shui Sister, both of them changed their colors.

Mrs. Feng hesitated for a while, thinking it would be pointless to hide it, so she talked about the Pan family's resignation and Wanyan's desire to run for election.

Wen Jiao was shocked after hearing this.Accepting bribes is not a proper official, and retiring the marriage at will is a matter of character.

It's just that she and Mrs. Li are considered acquaintances, and Mrs. Li doesn't seem to be such a heartless person.

She tentatively asked the question in her heart, and Mrs. Feng was stunned for a long time after listening.

She has known Mrs. Li longer than Mrs. Su, so she naturally knows that Mrs. Li is not like this.

At that time, her husband was in prison, and she hurried to Beijing to find a way out.Seeing the divorce letter suddenly, I just thought it was the intention of the whole Pan family, and didn't think much about it.

Now that I think about it, I only know that the person who came to deliver the divorce letter was from the Pan family, or Tete came to deliver it the day before she was going to leave.

If it was a normal day, even if her husband was in prison, she would definitely bring someone to kill her, ask him all about it, and throw the promise of the past on the faces of the Pan family.

But she was in a hurry, and she didn't come to the door to ask for clarification.That being said, it's hard to say whose intention it is.

But that's the end of the matter, and it's meaningless to say these things.Mrs. Feng smiled and sighed: "Even if we can't get married, I hope this is not what Sister Li intended."
