Jia Qiang looked at Xue Pan helplessly and said: "Brother Xue, you... I bought the house for the market price of four thousand taels, and you saw it with your own eyes. How could it be that someone gave it to me as a gift?"

Xue Pan also noticed something was wrong, laughed twice, and said: "I don't want to brag on your behalf, let others see your humanity, who knows they may think wrong things."

"Pooh!"

Aunt Xue spat: "You are the only one who thinks this kind of thing is a good person!"

Xue Pan was dissatisfied: "Qi Guan was going to give the house to Brother Qiang, but Brother Qiang insisted on giving money. Isn't it a good human nature?"

After hearing this, everyone within them resolved their doubts...

Just as he was talking, he saw seven or eight women and girls carrying food boxes walking along the verandah. The girls went into the house to lay out the dishes, while the women set the table under the verandah.

After a while of tossing, after the mother-in-law left, Aunt Xue laughed inside and said: "We are all from our own family, and we are not outsiders when we come to Auntie's place. Everyone eats and drinks well, Brother Qiang, I won't greet you anymore, you

Use it yourself."

After Jia Qiang thanked her, she sat across from Xue Pan. When she saw that he had filled up his glass with sake, she was not polite and started using her chopsticks.

Xue Pan was not in a hurry to drink. Seeing that Jia Qiang's food was delicious, he picked up his favorite food and ate it for a while. After eating half full, he raised his glass and drank a few glasses with Jia Qiang. He felt very comfortable.

Gaga smiled and said: "It's better to have a good meal with my brothers. If I sit at the same table with my mother and sister, they will have to be nagging at us for being so ungrateful."

Jia Qiang: "..."

Is this appropriate to say here?

Aunt Xue laughed and scolded inside: "Brother Qiang's food is ten thousand times better than yours!"

Xue Pan laughed and said, "Mom, don't say this until you see him eating tomorrow!"

This statement evoked endless associations among everyone inside. They all knew that Jia Qiang was the best child born in the Jia family and was more handsome than Jia Rong. Could it be that she was so miserable when eating?

But Jia Qiang ignored this, and Xue Pan couldn't say any more. He changed the topic and asked Jia Qiang: "Good brother, four thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Although your economic life is good, now you are with the Marquis of Huai'an."

If you cooperate with the government, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future, but where are you going to get these four thousand taels of silver now?" He wanted to reveal it to Aunt Xue so that he could ask for the money later.

Jia Qiang thought for a while, but did not hide anything, and said: "In addition to the secret recipe for meat skewers, I found another secret recipe from the ancient book, which is more than ten times more valuable than the former."

Xue Pan was very interested and asked hurriedly: "What's the secret recipe? What are you baking this time?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "It's not food, it's a recipe for dyeing cloth."

"Dye cloth?!"

Xue Pan was surprised and asked: "How to dye cloth?"

The royal merchant of the Xue family was responsible for weaving back then. How could Xue Pan not be surprised!

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "To be honest with Brother Xue, I cooperated with the Jinsha Gang, and part of the raw materials obtained are the raw materials I need to prepare this dyeing recipe. I have been debugging it for the past half month. I have tried it continuously.

I tried it several times, and the effect was pretty good. The fabrics on the market today are all dyed very well, but the colors are not bright enough. Blue, red, brown, and official green all looked black compared to the colors I mixed according to the recipe.

It's black. By the way, the royal merchant of the Xue family was responsible for weaving one piece in Jiangnan. Brother Xue, your family has a long history. You should know how much money such a recipe can be worth."

The textiles he learned in his previous life, and the original dyeing and weaving recipes for single-color cloth, were all very basic but classic recipes. He remembered at least seventeen or eighty kinds.

These seventeen or eight classic recipes can complement each other and create recipes that are almost perfect for each color.

After hearing this, Xue Pan's big eyes, which were as big as bells, almost popped out of his head. He said loudly: "Grandma! I wouldn't trade this recipe for a gold mountain! Good brother, if you open a dyeing workshop, just rely on this recipe."

You can exchange it for a mountain of gold and a sea of ​​silver!"

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled: "I'm not that greedy. Behind the eight major cloth houses in Shenjing City, there are more than eight royal palaces, as well as some invisible court ministers and relatives of the emperor, including several great scholars of the day.

I'm not surprised that the military prime minister comes. These big cloth merchants spend huge sums of money every year to prevent people from buying the bottom. If I raise a big flag in the cloth shop, the people I offend will be gone.

.When you are weak, you have to control your greed. Therefore, I can share the benefits and sell two prescriptions first. This is the reason why I want to buy Qiguan's house."

The people in the room were quiet, and I don’t know if they heard it or not...

Xue Pan still felt it was a pity and said: "A hundred thousand taels of silver would not exchange for such a prescription."

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled: "Only one color, not so many."

Xue Pan asked strangely: "Why only one color?"

Jia Qiang explained: "Different colors require different recipes. If you want a bright color, in addition to the blending of secret ingredients in the recipe itself, there are also requirements for water temperature. A slight difference can make a huge difference."

Therefore, if you only have one recipe, you can only make one color at most."

Xue Pan was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "In the future, wouldn't we be able to run our own dyeing workshop and make a fortune?"

Jia Qiang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xue, if one prescription is spread, it is probably difficult to keep the others. But it doesn't matter. I am a Penghao person. I will come back after all the gold is gone. Right now, what I need is not a gold mountain."

Silver Sea."

Monochromatic cloth involves basic people's livelihood, and the benefits involved are absolutely astonishing.

After nearly a hundred years of development in Dayan, by the time of the Long'an Dynasty, the interests of all parties were almost solidified.

Cloth is the most important item in clothing, food, housing and transportation, second only to food, and the distribution of benefits has long been determined.

If Jia Qiang wants to force his way in with just a few formulas, overturn the basic plate and eat alone, let alone the relationship between him and the Jia family. Even if he is the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, he will not be able to withstand the pressure from all sides.

When Xue Pan heard this, he sighed and said, "If I advise you to keep the prescription and lend you money, you will definitely not obey me. You cannot be said to be roundabout, but you are too noble."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "The silver I want to use is more than the four thousand taels used to buy Qiguan's house."

Xue Pan laughed loudly and said: "Yes, yes, we have to buy more prostitutes from the Jiaofang Division to play with..."

"puff!"

There was more than one sound of spitting rice inside.

"You damn evildoer!!"

Aunt Xue was obviously furious.

Jia Qiang said hurriedly: "Madam, please calm down. Although we are not gentlemen, how can we behave like animals?"

After a pause, he heard that it was quieter inside. He glared at Xue Pan first, and then explained: "Because the guild needs some maids, and those who want to be able to read and write, it is best to be able to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is what I and others are looking forward to."

Feng Ya, such maids are hard to find, so we want to recruit some Si Le from the Jiaofang Department. They are all poor people whose families have been ruined. We will help some if we can, but we will never force them to do those shameful things.

Madam, please rest assured about this. After all, there are countless people watching us overtly and covertly in the guild hall. If we mess up in the slightest, we may die without knowing how."

Hearing what he said, Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Amitabha, if you can do this, it is the right thing to do."

But Daiyu was surprised again: "Baoyu also said about this guild hall... didn't he say it was just a place for you to have fun? Why do you need even the girl who brings tea and water to be literate?"

Jia Qiang was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said: "I don't dare to deceive Aunt Lin. In addition to having fun with a few close friends, I also want to use this to gain some fame, so that I can worship a famous teacher and ask for advice. Now we are all elders, and I

I don’t shy away from talking about it. My parents passed away early, and a piece of furniture and property has long disappeared. It doesn’t matter, I can earn it myself. But in my current situation, I have no father to parent, no mother to rely on, and no one at home.

Your Majesty makes the decision, how difficult is it for me to ask a teacher to teach me my lessons?"

There is no water in this statement. If Jia Qiang has such qualifications and wants to achieve success in his studies, he needs to find a master who has made a career in the academic field to give guidance on articles and provide careful guidance.

In theory, the Hanlin Academy is the best choice. The older the better, the more sophisticated the articles will be.

Moreover, although most of the Hanlins in the Hanlin Academy came from the Sandingjia Jinshi, nobles and nobles, they did not have much oil and water, and there were a lot of poor Hanlins who could not afford meat.

It seems easy to find a famous teacher, but it is actually more difficult.

Because all the Hanlin who are raised in the Hanlin Academy have the reputation of Prime Minister, most of them are poor, but the more so, the harder it is to let go of their status, because they are so poor that only their reputation is left. Who dares to lower his status for the sake of

How many taels of gold and silver do you need to be a teacher?

Even ordinary Jinshi, there are few who condescend to others.

Jia Yucun was able to serve as Lin Daiyu's teacher not only because he lacked money, but because Lin Daiyu's father was a Tanhualang, which did not disgrace Jia Yucun's status as a Jinshi.

If you were to give him a hundred taels of silver a month, Jia Yucun would not agree to it. Otherwise, you would destroy your foundation, and you would never be able to raise your head among the officials, and you would never have a chance to recover.

In addition, Jia Qiang was praised by the Emperor for praising the Emperor. To Shilin Qingtan and others, he was no different from a sycophantic minister.

In this case, who would dare to accept him as a disciple?

So now, it is really difficult for Jia Qiang to find a famous teacher.

Most of the girls in the window lamented Jia Qiang's misfortune, especially the sentence "No father to father, no mother to rely on", which made those who were interested shed tears.

Because her body has always been weak, in autumn she changed into a pair of light blue flowing clouds and a thin coat, and she lowered her eyes and shed tears.

Only Xue Pan looked at Jia Qiang across from him with wide eyes, always feeling that something was wrong.

As for someone like Jia Qiang, she wants money as much as she wants, women as much as women, and brothers and friends as much as she wants. She doesn't have the control and restraint of her parents. How miserable is this?!
