The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2186

[Chapter 2186 Tie Kui Fanwai (110)]

Yun Qing announced his abdication, because there were early signs of this, so most of the courtiers were still calm.

Qi Hao did not change much after he took the throne. However, the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother went out to play, which made many people uneasy.

When Ruhui heard the news, she couldn’t help but ask Meng Ranxi, “The Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother really went to the mountains and waters?”

“It seems so. But where they go to play, no one knows.” This must be confidential. Otherwise, if someone set up an ambush halfway, wouldn’t it be dangerous for the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother.

Ruhui smiled and said, “The Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager are really free and easy. If you say that you will let go of power, you will let it go.” Although some emperors have become zen, they still intervene in government affairs, and the new emperor will listen to him in everything. The Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother really completely delegated their powers when they went out. What if it was replaced by ordinary people.

Meng Ranxi also felt a little emotional, that the emperors of all dynasties had several Zen thrones. Not to mention, the emperor is very healthy now!

Ruhui also took this as a digression. She asked what she cared about most: “Is there a suitable shortage yet?” Neither husband and wife wanted to go to the remote and backward county town.

Meng Ranxi said with a smile, “I found out today that the magistrate of Jiangning County is retiring from his old age, and I hope to find this job.” Jiangnan’s official position has always been a sought-after product. Without strong contacts with Beijing, it is impossible to find the shortage there. However, Mrs. Meng is the minister of punishment, so it should be no problem to seek this shortage.

It’s just that the plan can’t keep up with the changes. This lack, the people of the Tan family also took a fancy to it. The queen came from the Tan family, and no one wanted to conflict with them for the position of a county magistrate. In the end, this position was also obtained by them.

Ruhui was a little sullen.

Meng Ranxi looked at her like this and said with a smile, “That’s how things go in the officialdom. Even things that are absolutely certain will change in the end. What’s more, we didn’t have enough confidence.”

Having said that, Ruhui was still very depressed. Mainly because she didn’t want to stay in the capital anymore and wanted to go out.

Meng Ranxi said, “I heard that Fortune Restaurant has a new dish. I’ll take you to try it tomorrow?”

This is the end of the matter, and there is no use in being depressed. It’s just weird, I don’t have a queen like the Tan family. Not as good as people, you can only admit it.

Ruhui said, “Bring Shiyin and Tuan with you. Tomorrow we will go out and have a good day.”

The family of four went out the next day and didn’t come back until late in the evening. Needless to say, it was a big bag and a small bag to carry home again. However, most of the things in here belong to Shi Yin and the group brother.

After buying so many things, Ru Hui’s depression was swept away.

Meng Ranxi looked at the pile of things on the table and joked: “It seems that I have to work hard to make money, otherwise I won’t be able to support your mother and son.”

Ruhui smiled and said, “I’m waiting!”

Her teahouse business is getting more and more prosperous. Last year, she made more than 4,000 taels of silver, and her clothes shop also earned almost 2,000 taels. In addition to the dowry shop’s property and the forest’s promise, it made nearly 10,000 taels last year. The Meng family’s annual income is only more than 20,000 taels, and her income accounts for nearly half of the Meng family’s income.

When Grandma Meng Wu brought her daughter over, she saw Shi Yin riding a small red wooden horse.

Seeing her daughter’s envious eyes, Grandma Meng Wu asked, “Sister-in-law three, where did you buy this Trojan horse? I’ll buy one for Yan’er too.”

Ruhui said with a smile, “You don’t need to spend that unjust money, let Yaner play with Shiyin.” She often encouraged Shiyin to find sisters like Xiaoya and Yaner to play with. Children are always bored in the house, girls are better lively.

Let Yan’er play with Shiyin, Chen Shi sat down and chatted with Ruhui.

Ruhui smiled and said, “Why do you have time to come to my place today? Didn’t you go to the shop?” After Mrs. Meng returned to her hometown, Mrs. Chen took back the shop and opened a dried fruit shop by herself. It is said that it is a dried fruit shop, but it actually sells a variety of things, not only selling dried fruits such as chestnuts and walnuts, but also with peach cakes, mung bean cakes, candies and so on.

I lost several taels in the first two months, broke even in the third month, and made a profit from the fourth month. After listening to Ruhui’s suggestion, I prepared a lot of goods before the twelfth lunar month. At the end of this month alone, I earned more than 180 taels of silver. You know, the rent for her shop in the past year was only 180 taels.

With her hands free, Grandma Meng Wu also built a small kitchen in the yard. Because of the food that suits her heart, Yan’er has flesh on her face in more than three months. No longer as thin and small as before.

“The shop has entered the right track, and it’s fine to visit occasionally.” She dared not compare with Ruhui, and she was satisfied that the shop could make three or four hundred taels of income every year.

Ruhui smiled and said: “You must be honest in doing business. It doesn’t matter if the things you sell are expensive. The things must be good, and they must not be shoddy or lacking. If the reputation is not good, the shop will also be It’s time to close.”

Mrs. Chen nodded and said, “I see, thank you Third Sister-in-law.” Ruhui’s advice saved her from taking a lot of detours.

The two chatted for a while, and saw Chen’s personal maid came over and said two words in her ear.

The smile on Mrs. Chen’s face narrowed, and she said, “Tell her that I’m busy and don’t have time to see her.”

When the maid heard the words, she backed out.

Chen shi smiled bitterly: “It’s my sister-in-law. I don’t know where I found out that I started a shop to make money. She came to tell me that my family was difficult, and I would borrow one hundred taels of silver when I opened my mouth.”

Ruhui has seen many such people: “The poor are in the busy city and no one asks the rich. There are distant relatives in the mountains. You can just ignore her.”

“I know. Once you borrow it, there will be a second time. It’s endless.” Therefore, she won’t borrow a penny. Anyway, brother and sister-in-law can’t be trusted. If they want to turn their faces, then turn their faces.

In the evening, when Meng Ranxi came back, her face was full of red light. When you look at it, you know that there is a happy event.

Ruhui smiled and joked: “I’m so happy, could it be a promotion?”

Unless the ability is particularly outstanding or the background is particularly hard, all the ministries and yamen are based on seniority. Meng Ranxi had only been in for three years, and it was not his turn to be promoted. And this is also one of the reasons why Ruhui wants her to go out, and she is promoted quickly. While staying in the capital, promotion is too slow.

Meng Ranxi smiled and said, “You’re right, it’s a promotion.”

“You didn’t lie to me?”

Meng Ranxi looked at Ruhui’s astonished look and thought it was very interesting: “What are you doing to lie to you? It’s true, it’s a level up.”

As soon as I asked Ruhui, I found out that the official in the original position was impeached by the censor because of the fight between wives and concubines. With a wave of the emperor’s royal pen, he took off his black gauze hat. ”

Hearing the reason, Ruhui looked at Meng Ranxi and said, “The Empress Dowager hates spoiling concubines and destroying his wife the most. He is brave enough to let the concubine’s room press him over the head of the main room.” Although the Empress Dowager was not there, Xin Xin The emperor was taught by the queen mother. The idea is probably about the same.

Meng Ranxi was a little speechless: “It was the main room who gave the concubine a miscarriage and almost died. The concubine was a daughter of a good family, so this happened.”

If Hui is the main room, it is natural to protect the interests of the main room: “She didn’t do anything wrong, no woman would like to have children. But if it were me, I would not give medicine to the concubine’s room, I would directly give the stinky. Men drink a bowl of Juezi soup.” The concubine was given abortion pills to cure the symptoms but not the root cause. Directly prevent men from having children, and fundamentally solve the problem.

Meng Ranxi explained: “This is the main house he didn’t want to marry himself, he was forced to marry it. That concubine house is the woman he likes.”

Ruhui just wanted to laugh: “What is being forced is just an excuse for his cowardice and incompetence. He has killed both women by doing this.”

When Meng Ranxi heard this, she felt that it also made sense.

Ruhui warned: “I’m telling you, don’t give me any trouble. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it for the rest of your life.” Everything else is easy to say, this aspect is never allowed.

Meng Ranxi smiled and said, “Don’t worry about this, I won’t take a concubine. In this life, having you is enough.”

These words, such as Hui love to hear.

In a blink of an eye, it’s time to try again every three years. Three years ago, because Meng Ranxi was going to take the exam, Ruhui was very nervous. Therefore, Ruhui was very surprised to see Grandma Meng Wu behave very indifferently.

“Are you so sure that the fifth master can pass the test?”

Grandma Meng Wu smiled and said, “I have confidence in my husband.”

Ruhui could see that what she said was insincere. At the moment, she was very strange. After she went back, she asked Mai Sui, “Have the fifth master and fifth grandmother had a quarrel during this time?” Anyway, she had never heard that the two had quarreled.

Mai Sui shook his head and said, “No! The fifth master spends most of his time in the academy, and he also devotes himself to reviewing his homework when he gets home. The fifth grandmother has been busy with business during this time.”

Ruhui understood after thinking about it: “The fifth master is very filial. If he passes the test, he will beg the old man to let the third lady come back.” At that time, the life of Mengwu’s grandmother would not be so comfortable. Therefore, Grandma Meng Wu has a very complicated mood!

But thinking about Chen’s changes, Ruhui felt that she might have thought too much. Chen Shi didn’t even care about Meng Guangwu’s future, and there was not much left in the relationship between husband and wife. Mrs. Meng San won’t have much leverage to suppress him in the future.

After thinking for a while, Ruhui asked Meng Ranxi in the evening, “Can fifth brother pass the exam this time?”

Meng Ranxi shook her head and said, “It’s a little off. But don’t talk about it. Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll pass the exam!” There was also luck in the exam. Like him, he is very lucky. He studied with Lan Yanghui, the champion, for more than a month, so the ranking was beyond his expectations.

Ruhui asked, “If Meng Guangwu passes the exam, will he also enter the court as an official?”

This goes without saying, for sure. Han Chuang has been studying hard for so many years, but it is not necessary to use the imperial examinations to enter the office to seek a good future.

Ruhui chuckled lightly, and then said: “If Meng Guangwu was an official in Qingshui Yamen in the capital, it would be fine. If it is outside, there is a mother who wants money like the third aunt, do you think he has good results?” Meng San The lady’s temperament in the eyes of money is sure to make Meng Guangwu a corrupt official. At that time, Meng Guangwu was either beheaded and exiled or put in prison.

Meng Ranxi was silent and said, “Wait until he passes the test.” If Meng Guangwu passed the test, he would definitely pass on Ruhui’s words to Mrs. Meng.
