Yun Qing announced his abdication, because this matter had early signs, so most of the courtiers were still calm.
Qi Hao hasn't changed much since he succeeded. However, the Emperor and the Queen Mother went out for fun, which made many people uneasy.
When Ruhui heard the news, she couldn't help asking Meng Ranxi: "Have the Emperor and the Queen Mother really traveled around the mountains and rivers?"
"It seems to be. But no one knows where they go to play." This must be confidential. Otherwise, if someone set up an ambush halfway, wouldn't it be dangerous for the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother.
Ruhui smiled and said: "The Emperor and the Queen Mother are really free and easy. If they say that power is delegated, they will delegate power." Although some emperors have been in the position, they still intervene in government affairs, and the new emperor listens to him everything. The emperor and empress dowager's outings really decentralized power completely. If you are replaced by ordinary people, how willing.
Meng Ranxi was also a little bit emotional. The emperors of the past dynasties have several Zen positions. Not to mention, the emperor is very healthy now!
Ruhui also regarded this as a digression, and she asked what she was most concerned about: "Is there no suitable shortage?" In the remote and backward county, their husband and wife did not want to go.
Meng Ranxi said with a smile: "I inquired today that the magistrate of Jiangning County told the old man to return home, hoping to seek this vacancy." Jiangnan's official position has always been a hot commodity. Without strong connections with Beijing, it is impossible to find the shortage there. However, Mrs. Meng is the official book of the Criminal Ministry, so it should be no problem to seek this vacancy.
It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes. The people of the Tan family also took a fancy to this lack. The queen is from the Tan family, and no one wants to conflict with them for the position of a county magistrate. In the end, this position was also found by them.
Ruhui was a little bored.
Meng Ranxi looked at her like this and smiled and said: "This is how things happen in officialdom. Even the most stable things will lead to a change in the end. What's more, we didn't have enough confidence in the first place."
That's what I said, but Ruhui was still very depressed. The main reason is that she doesn't want to stay in the capital anymore, she wants to go out.
Meng Ranxi said, "I heard that Fuyun Restaurant has another new dish. I will take you to try it tomorrow?"
This is the end of the matter, no matter how depressed it is. Blame, blame, I don’t have a queen like the Tan family. The situation is not as good as the others, so I can only recognize it.
Ruhui said, "Bring Shiyin and Tuan's brother. We will go out tomorrow and have a fun day."
The family of four went out the next day and didn't come back until the evening. Needless to say, he carried home again in large and small bags. However, most of the things in it belonged to Shiyin and Tuan's brother.
After buying so many things, the depression in Ruhui's heart was swept away.
Meng Ranxi looked at the things piled up on the table and joked: "It seems that I have to work hard to make money, otherwise I can't afford to support you mother and son."
Ruhui smiled and said, "I'm waiting!"
Her tea shop business is getting more and more prosperous. Last year she made more than four thousand taels of silver, and the clothes shop also made almost two thousand taels. In addition to the dowry shop and the income from the mountains and forests, the income was close to ten thousand taels last year. The annual income of the Meng family was only more than 20,000 taels, and her income accounted for nearly half of the Meng family.
When Grandma Meng Wu brought her daughter over, she saw Shiyin riding a small red wooden horse.
Seeing her daughter's envious eyes, Grandma Meng Wu asked: "Sansao, where did you buy this wooden horse? I will also buy one for Yan'er."
Ruhui smiled and said, "You don't need to spend the wronged money, let Yan'er play with Shiyin." She often encourages Shiyin to go find Xiaoya and Yaner to play with the sisters. Children are always bored in the house, but it is better for girls to be lively.
Let Yan'er play with Shiyin, and Chen sits down and chats with Ruhui.
Ruhui smiled and said, "How come you have time to come over to me today? Didn't you go to the shop?" After Mrs. Meng San returned to her hometown, the Chen family took the shop back and opened a dried fruit shop by herself. It is said that it is a dried fruit shop. In fact, it sells a lot of things. It not only sells dried fruits such as chestnuts and walnuts, but also sells them with peach crisps, mung bean cakes, and candies.
In the first two months, I lost several taels of silver. In the third month, I broke even and started to make a profit in the fourth month. After listening to Ruhui's suggestion, a lot of goods were prepared before the twelfth lunar month. At the end of this month alone, he made more than one hundred and eighty taels of silver. You know, the rent for her shop in the previous year was only one hundred and eighty taels of silver.
With loose hands, Grandma Meng Wu also built a small kitchen in the yard. Because I had eaten the meal that was to my heart's content, the Yan'er had meat on his face for more than three months. No longer like before, thin and small.
"The shop is already on the right track, just go and see it occasionally." She didn't dare to follow Ruebi, and she was satisfied that the shop could make three or four hundred taels of income each year.
Ruhui smiled and said, "You must be honest in doing business. It doesn't matter if you sell things at a higher price. They must be good, and they must not be shoddy, and they must not be short. It's time to close."
Chen nodded and said: "I see, thank you Sansao." Ruhui's advice helped her avoid a lot of detours.
The two chatted for a while, and then they saw Chen's personal maid coming over and saying a few words in her ear.
The smile on Chen's face narrowed slightly, and said: "Tell her I'm busy and don't have time to see her."
Upon hearing this, the maid backed out.
The Chen smiled bitterly: "It's my sister-in-law. I don't know where to find out that I opened a shop to make money, and came to tell me that my family is difficult, and I have to borrow a hundred taels of silver when I open my mouth."
Such a person, Ruhui sees more: "The poor are in the downtown area and no one asks the rich if they have distant relatives in the mountains. Just leave her alone."
"I know. After borrowing it once, there will be a second time. It's endless." So, she wouldn't borrow a penny. Anyway, the elder brother and sister-in-law are also unreliable. If they want to turn their faces, then turn their faces.
In the evening, when Meng Ranxi came back, his face was red. At a glance, I knew there was a happy event.
Ruhui smiled and joked: "Is so happy, is it a promotion?"
Unless the ability is particularly outstanding or the backstage is particularly hard, all ministries and yamen will be ranked higher. Meng Ranxi had just entered for three years, and his promotion was temporarily not available for him. And this is one of the reasons Ruhui hopes that she will be released outside, and the outside release will be promoted quickly. While staying in the capital, the promotion was too slow.
Meng Ranxi smiled and said, "You are right, you have been promoted."
"You didn't lie to me?"
Seeing Ruhui's suspicion, Meng Ranxi found it very interesting: "What did you do to lie to you? It's true. It's a level up."
When I asked Ruhui, I realized that the official at the original position had been killed because of a fight between his wives and concubines, and was impeached by Yushi. With a wave of his royal brush, the emperor took off his black hat. "
Hearing the reason, Ruhui looked at Meng Ranxi and said: "The empress dowager hates to pet concubines and destroy their wives. He is so courageous that he is pressed by the concubine's room on the head of the main room." Although the queen mother is not there, it is new. 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 that instilled fetal medicine in the concubine's room, and almost killed two lives. The concubine was a good daughter, so this matter came out."
Ruhui is the main room, so naturally it is to protect the interests of the main room: "She has done nothing wrong. There is any woman who would like to give birth to children. But if it is me, I will not give medicine to the concubine's room, I will directly give that smelly The man drinks a bowl of jewel soup. Directly prevent men from having children, and solve the problem fundamentally.
Meng Ranxi explained: "He didn't want to marry in this main room, but was forced to marry. That concubine room is the woman he likes."
Ruhui just wanted to hehe: "What is being forced is just an excuse for her cowardice and incompetence. In this way, he killed both women."
Meng Ranxi felt that it made sense.
Ruhui warned: "I'm telling you, don't give me trouble. If you don't, I will make you regret it forever." Others are easy to say, and this aspect is never allowed.
Meng Ranxi smiled and said: "Don't worry about that, I won't take a concubine. In this life, you will be enough."
These words, Ruhui loves to listen.
In a blink of an eye, it's time to try again every three years. Three years ago, because Meng Ranxi had to take the exam, Ruhui was too nervous. Therefore, Ruhui was very surprised to see Grandma Meng Wu acting so indifferently.
"You are so sure that the fifth master will pass the exam?"
Grandma Meng Wu smiled and said, "I have confidence in Xianggong."
Ruhui could tell that this was insincere. She was very strange at the moment, and when she went back, she asked Mai Sui: "Have you ever quarreled with Grandma Wu during this period?" Anyway, she hadn't heard that the two had quarreled.
Mai Sui shook his head and said, "No! Master Wu spends most of the time in the academy, and she immerses herself in her homework when she comes home. Grandma Wu has been busy with business during this time."
After thinking about it, Ruhui came to understand: "The fifth master is very filial. If he passes the exam, he will plead with the old man to let the third wife come back." Then, Grandma Meng Wu's life will not be so comfortable. So, Grandma Meng Wu is in a complicated mood!
But thinking about Chen's changes, Ruhui felt that she might have been thinking about it too much. The Chen family 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 has no bargaining chips to suppress him in the future.
After thinking about it, Ruhui asked Meng Ranxi in the evening: "Can the fifth brother pass the exam this time?"
Meng Ranxi shook his head and said: "It's a bit unsettled. But don't tell me about this. Maybe if you are lucky, you will pass the exam!" There is also luck in the scientific examination. For example, he was lucky. He studied with Lan Yanghui, the champion man for more than a month, so his ranking was beyond his expectation.
Ruhui asked, "If Meng Guangwu passes the exam, he will also enter the court as an official, right?"
Needless to say, for sure. Han Chuang studied so hard for so many years, it is not necessary to use the imperial examination to get a good career.
Ruhui chuckled, and then said, "If Meng Guangwu was an official at the Qingshui Yamen in the capital, it would be fine. If it is released, there is a mother who died for money like the third aunt, do you think he has good results?" Just Meng San The wife's temperament in the eyes of money, guarantees that Meng Guangwu will become a corrupt official. At that time, Meng Guangwu was either decapitated and exiled or went to jail.
Meng Ranxi was silent and said, "I'll talk about it after he passes the exam." If Meng Guangwu passes the exam, he will definitely relay Ruhui's words to Grandpa Meng.
