After lunch, Jia Yun wanted to continue practicing, but she felt particularly uncomfortable every time she entered the house and saw how dirty it was.

So he told Mrs. Bu and started cleaning the house and outside.

Jia Yun first moved the quilts, pots and pans, rice jars, tables and other things in the house one by one to the courtyard. Then she found a bamboo broom and swept down the dust and cobwebs on the roof and walls.

The dust was flying, so Jia Yun covered her face with a towel, tied a knot on the back of her head, and cleaned all the outer corners.

After cleaning, although the windows are not bright and clean, the sight and senses are much wider, at least it will not make people uncomfortable.

Seeing that the sun was particularly bright today, Jia Yun took off the quilt she was wearing, took it to the well, washed it carefully, and let it dry in the sun. It should be dry before dark.

The three-legged table was covered with grease and black ash. Jia Yun took straw and sprinkled sand on the tabletop and scrubbed it until it turned into a log color before giving up.

A few large pebbles were also washed and dried in the sun before they were all moved back into the house and put away.

After being busy for nearly an hour, Jia Yun returned to the eaves and sat on a stone to bask in the sun. She thought to herself: "When I have money, I will still have to buy a new house. It is a bit inconvenient to live here."

They lived in a three-sided courtyard, with three families living there. In addition to his family and Jia Qin's family, there was also a watchman who lived with a childless daughter. He was also a member of the Jia family. He was away from home every day and was rarely seen.

In the past hundred years since the Ningrong Second Mansion was established in the capital, the Jia clan has spread out. There are nearly a thousand Bafang clan members living in the capital alone, so basically all the people living in the neighborhood here live there.

It's the Jia family.

"If we really make money, everyone will be poor, but if my family is rich, some people will definitely feel uncomfortable." Jia Yun thought to herself.

Unlike Ning Rong's Second House, which has been passed down through generations of nobility, other clan houses also rely on the big house for many things, so although some people may feel sad, they dare not provoke him.

But if ordinary poor relatives become rich, there will definitely be a lot of people who are against them. Especially in this era where the clan concept is used to maintain relationships with the same clan, the clan members will be ruthless and more attentive than outsiders.

Even during the New Year and festivals, the Jia family would spend a lot of money to distribute some money and food to win people's hearts, just because they were afraid that the clan members would gossip, let alone ordinary people like Jia Yun.

"So after you earn money, you still have to find a way to move out, live somewhere else, and keep a low profile. Not only will you live a comfortable life, but you can also avoid a lot of trouble."

When you come to this world, you have to live a comfortable life after all, so after you earn money, you not only have to buy a house, but you also have to study and practice martial arts and gain fame, so that you can last a long time.

The original owner had studied for a few days and knew a few words, but he didn't know much, let alone had any knowledge. Therefore, Jia Yun had no idea about participating in the imperial examination.

As for practicing martial arts, it is much simpler. After all, the Jia family started with military merit. In the past hundred years, although most of the Jia family's descendants have fallen into depravity, there are still many martial arts masters among their disciples and former officials.

As a member of the Jia family, Jia Yun is a side branch, but with tiger skin, it is quite easy to find a martial arts master to learn martial arts.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have money.

After studying under his master, he will have the necessary cover for his practice of "Yin Yang Wuji Kung Fu". Otherwise, if he possesses a skill out of thin air, not only will outsiders become suspicious, but even Mr. Bu will probably become uneasy.

As for whether the way to obtain fame in the future is to become an official through the imperial examination or to work hard in the army, Jia Yun is not sure at the moment.

It would be best if you could gain fame through the imperial examination. After all, military attachés not only had a lower status than civil servants, but they also had to fight on the battlefield.

Killing enemies in thousands of military formations greatly weakens the importance of personal force. In addition, there are unreasonable products like fire guns. Anyone who wants to stay safe in the army must

No guarantee.

"Let's go and see. It's useless to think about it now." Jia Yun thought to herself.

…

In a corridor outside Rongguo Mansion, Mingyan ran up to Jia Baoyu panting, handed over a fan and an inkstone, and complained:

"Second Master Bao, Sister Xiren scolded me so much just now, saying that I didn't learn well at a young age and brought some mean habits to the Second Master. She also warned the younger one that if I don't learn well before dark,

If the second master doesn't come back, she will definitely go to the madam and file a complaint against me."

Jia Baoyu had no intention of listening to Ming Yan's complaints and hurried to the pawn shop, then heard Ming Yan continue: "By the way, Miss Lin came to see the second master today. He came several times and the second master was not there. I heard he was angry.

"

Jia Baoyu was stunned when he heard this. He really wanted to go back to the house to accompany Lin Daiyu right now, but when he thought about going back now, someone would definitely find out that he had lost his jade, and his father would definitely be beaten.

I forced myself to endure it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Ignore these things for now. I will go to Sister Lin to apologize to her when she comes back in the evening, but please don't let anything slip from my father's side."

Mingyan nodded fiercely and replied: "Second Master, don't worry, even if you beat me to death, I will only bite you to death and say, Second Master, you went to Mengxi Garden to watch the "Safety Poster"."

Mengxiyuan is a large bookstore in the south of the city. It reopened today after renovation not long ago. The boss brought out a copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy "Peace Note" and invited many Confucian scholars to come and observe it to attract popularity.

When Jia Baoyu went to Wanjinfu in the morning, he asked Mingyan to say that he was out today just to watch the excitement.

This kind of literati and elegant affairs appeals to Jia Zheng, so Jia Baoyu is 100% sure that when he goes back tonight, Jia Zheng will not beat him for not coming home.

As for Jia Zheng's question about the safety post, Jia Baoyu said that there were too many people today and she didn't even go in, so she didn't see it. She just met some students outside and discussed knowledge with them.

Seeing Mingyan's reassurance, Jia Baoyu felt relieved. He patted Mingyan's shoulder and warned: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, do this well, and I will give you a reward when I come back."

"Thank you, Second Master, I will definitely keep my mouth shut." Mingyan's eyes lit up and she said with tears of gratitude.

Jia Baoyu laughed, walked out of the corridor, stopped a carriage on the street, and went to the pawn shop to collect money.

…

It was still in the morning by the river. Jia Yun sat down cross-legged. She was not in a hurry to practice, but first looked at the crops planted in the space.

It has been nearly two hours since I returned, and nearly two months have passed in the space. Many crops have taken root and flower buds, and they have grown so fast that they are already half a person tall.

Especially some vegetables, which are expected to be picked in a while, are really scary to plant in space.

"When the wheat matures in the evening, we can start making money tomorrow." Jia Yun thought in her mind.

He plans to go to Ningrong Street to sell steamed buns from tomorrow. There are a lot of people coming and going there, and it is the territory of the Jia family, so most people don't dare to cause trouble to the Jia family.

"When doing business, we are most afraid of trouble caused by land hooligans and officials. Now I am still a commoner. Should I borrow this tiger skin from the Jia family?"

As for the stall fee, don't worry about it. After all, it's your own family. Just tell the person in charge that you owe it for a few days before paying it, and it shouldn't be a big problem.

Jia Yun never doubts her skills. As long as the buns are delicious, she doesn't have to worry about making money.

Nowadays, most vegetable buns on the market cost one penny each, while meat buns cost two cents each. Jia Yun plans to first accumulate capital by selling vegetable buns, and then buy a few pigs and raise them in the space.

When the pigs grow up and form a herd, Jia Yun will no longer continue to sell steamed buns, but plans to sell braised pork buns. The reason is that braised pork is easier to cook and the price is much higher.

"It seems that there are no stewed braised vegetables sold in Beijing now..." Jia Yun searched the memory of the original owner and thought to herself.

Braised pork originated from Nanheng Street in the south of Beijing. It is said that during the Guangxu period, because Suzao pork cooked with pork belly was expensive, people used pig head meat and pig offal instead.

Later, it was spread by folk cooking experts, and over time, braised cooking and fire roasting were created.

The reason why he didn't start braised cooking at the beginning was because everything needed a step-by-step process. After all, it was true that the family had no money. Although braised cooking was easy to start, the cost was much higher.

If Mrs. Bu asked him where his capital came from, he would not be able to answer at that time.

Therefore, Jia Yun needs to accumulate capital by selling vegetable buns and cover it up first.
