Xin Zi Scroll Chapter 261 Xue Baoqin's Correctness
Shen Yixiu didn't have the same feeling as Jia Shi Wang Xue Tongqi, but Feng Ziying had to take care of the mood of the two sisters Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin. She thought for a while and said: "How should I say? It is not that the Jia family has no scholars, it's just that there are no scholars in the Jia family. It happened that Baoyu didn't like studying. For example, Jia Jing, the previous generation of Ningguo Mansion, was also a Jinshi. Baoyu's brother Jia Zhu also passed the scholar examination, but his body was not good enough to die. Brother Huan was also a scholar. I think he It won’t be a big problem to pass the imperial examination next year, and there is a good chance of passing the imperial examination in the future.”
Feng Ziying's fair evaluation made Baochai and Baoqin feel much better. After all, it was a fact that Jia Baoyu didn't like reading. The Jia family's generation could only wait and see whether Jia Huan could read, and they couldn't count on Baoyu.
From Baochai and Baoqin's point of view, they are naturally inclined to like reading. The saying that "everything is inferior but reading is good" is still deeply engraved in their minds. Even their children in the future will insist on the same. Reading is a must, this is the best choice for society in the agricultural era.
Even a businessman with a fortune of hundreds of millions is not as good as a person with a good family background. This is the unswerving view of this era.
"If that's the case, then the Jia family should train those who can read. If he can't study but has nothing to do, wouldn't he become a dandy? My husband said that the husband of the Jia family is married to the daughter of the eldest princess. Doesn't the eldest princess not understand? What's going on here?" Shen Yixiu didn't know what was going on here, so he asked casually.
"Well, it's not that Baoyu can't read. He still has some attainments in poetry, poetry, and poetry. It's just that he doesn't like the meaning of scriptures and doesn't understand current policies." Feng Ziying explained.
"Oh, that's it. If you do well in poems and songs, you can at least have a good reputation. In the future, if you donate to an official position, with the connections of the Jia family, you may be able to find a leisurely position." Shen Yixiu laughed, "Ms. It is also said that the husband of the Jia family has an extraordinary appearance, so the eldest princess must have taken a fancy to this good body."
Shen Yixiu's words made both Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin a little embarrassed, but they didn't want to get angry.
This was not directed at them, but when they first entered the Rongguo Mansion, they still felt that Baoyu was indeed handsome and heroic, but it was just that after being in contact with him for a long time, it slowly faded.
Feng Ziying didn't know why Shen Yixiu targeted Jia Baoyu like this today. She had mentioned the Jia family in the past, but Shen Yixiu didn't even bother to mention it. Today, he targeted the Jia family every sentence, mostly with It has something to do with the fact that he didn't return home yesterday. He was supposed to rest in the long room last night, but he delayed it. It's just that he had a romantic night yesterday, and at this time, he was really feeling guilty and short of breath.
"Wan Jun, please show mercy." Feng Ziying said lightly, "The Jia family is also a family friend of the Feng family. Even if Baoyu fails to study, it will not be a problem."
"It doesn't matter to anyone, but the Jia family has two princes and a noble concubine. The current situation is not good. It seems that the legitimate sons of the two wives are like this. My husband, you are a family friend, shouldn't you give me a good education? Can you give me a heads up?"
Of course Shen Yixiu was angry.
Last night was the best time for her to get pregnant. She thought that her husband-in-law would come back and take a break today, just in time to have unrestrained love. Unexpectedly, in the end, she came to stay overnight in Rongguo Mansion. Then she asked if she and Jia Baoyu were drunk. How can this not make her extremely angry?
When Qingwen asked Qingwen again, what was Jia Baoyu's situation like, she felt even more unwelcome to see him. He was a dandy who didn't seek to make progress, and thought he was the proud son of heaven. He could not extricate himself from having fun all day long. I want to bring my husband-in-law down.
After being retorted by Shen Yixiu, Feng Ziying knew that Shen Yixiu was really angry. She scratched her head and then said calmly: "Well, what you said is powerful. I should keep it in mind in the future."
This pun must have been understood by the other party. Shen Yixiu took a deep look at Feng Ziying, then softened his expression slightly and fell silent.
Xue Baochai and Bao Qin have also seen that Shen Yixiu is just using the topic, and they feel relieved a lot. As long as it is not aimed at the Jia family, they are fine, but they are also reasonable in what they say. The four dignified Jinling families First of all, there is a family of two princes and a noble concubine Niannian in the palace, but they are in such a lonely situation, which is really difficult to explain.
When the Xue sisters returned to their homes, they could not help but say some intimate words.
"I didn't expect that the Shen sisters would be so sharp and sharp, and my husband would beg for mercy." Bao Qin couldn't help but sigh, "But the second brother Bao did not do it right. It's just that he was drunk. Why?" I also got my husband drunk."
"Baoqin, did you hear something?" Xue Baochai asked calmly.
"Sister, are you talking about the Jia family coming to borrow money?" Baoqin was surprised, "Sister Shen's family won't be angry because of this, right? Besides, each house is in charge of itself now, except for the future property of the third house, which will be taken care of by the mother-in-law. Who cares about other people’s affairs? Could it be that the money borrowed by the Jia family can be borrowed from her eldest brother’s house? I think most of it can be borrowed from my husband’s private house.”
Baochai sighed, "Why didn't the Jia family fall to this level? The day before yesterday, my mother went to Rongguo Mansion and stayed with my aunt for two days before returning to Lige Old Alley. Yesterday I went back to visit my mother and brother. Mother is saying that there is no business in Rongguo Mansion now, and Baoyu is getting married, and the empress will come back to visit her relatives on August 15th, so she is struggling to cope with everything, and it is hard for my sister-in-law and the third girl."
"Huh, what's weird about this? No matter how big the property is, it can't withstand such a huge consumption, and there are not two people in the family who can support the scene." Baoqin looked disdainful, "Second Brother Lian ran away. Lu Yangzhou, no matter what, the second sister-in-law and the pardoning master are only focused on filling their pockets with money. They are already living by papering, and they still want to build a grand view garden, which is a big showmanship to pretend to be fat. , isn’t this because you hate yourself for being too slow to lose?”
"Is this the only reason why the Jia family fell so quickly?" Baochai wanted to take a test on Baoqin. Even her husband said that Baoqin was smart and a good candidate to be the head of the family. She wanted to take a test on him.
"Shen Yixiu said that the children of the Jia family did not study, which led to the decline of the Jia family. My younger sister thinks that it is only half the reason. It doesn't matter if they don't study. Our two brothers of the Xue family don't study either, but you must at least assess the situation and find the right one. The eldest brother is in charge of the Daguan Tower, and at any rate he earns a profit every day. My brother is busy at sea all day long, come and go in the wind and rain, and my sister is also strategizing about the farms and shops in the capital, Jinling, and Yangzhou. I have stable income, and I have also invested in Haitong Bank. My little sister is not talented, and I have also invested in the iron factory and cement business in Yongping Prefecture. Now the little girl from the charcoal factory in Xishan is also very optimistic..."
Xue Baoqin talked eloquently, "Looking at the Jia family again, Jia Huan didn't talk about studying, Baoyu only knew how to have fun, the ancestors preferred the second room, and the second brother Lian simply left home to start his own business, but there are thousands of people in the Jia family
, is it really impossible to find a few people who can do things? Looking at the distant brothers like Jia Yun and Jia Qiang who are all working for the husband, you know that the Jia family has no plan and no rules. To put it bluntly, 2
This gentleman is all ignorant and has no plan. He has no serious way to run his business. Thousands of people are being chewed by each other. Every month, they have to stretch out their hands to ask for monthly money. They even open a big hole like the Grand View Garden. I want it.
Said, this rate of decline is quite slow."
"To increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the most important thing is always to increase revenue. It doesn't matter if you can't read a book, but if you want to do things, you don't run a business, don't do things, and just want to live off the shelf. Everyone wants to live like this, but is it possible?"
Xue Baochai knew that Bao Qin had a talent for business. She had been actively involved in the business in Yongping Mansion before she married into the Feng family. It was run through Xue Biao, but Xue Biao was arranged by her husband to make a living at sea, so
These affairs were handed over to Bao Qin, and they were regarded as the business of the second branch of the Xue family. They were Xue Biao's and Bao Qin's personal share.
However, Xue Baochai in the capital did not expect that Bao Qin would also be involved. It is estimated that those Shanxi businessmen wanted to develop the Zunhua Iron Works and needed coke, and Bao Qin wanted to use the profits from her shares in the Xue family to make a living.
Wow, this girl really doesn't have a moment to spare.
"Bao Qin, I didn't expect that you really meant it. Are you busy enough?" Baochai didn't expect that Bao Qin could start this business under her nose. He never saw her go out.
And everyone was still thinking about getting pregnant and having children as soon as possible, but they didn't expect that this girl did both.
"Sister, I think Zhang Dehui and his son around you are honest and reliable people who can be used. There are also a few available in the second room of our Xue family. Although most of them were taken away to Yongping Mansion by my brother, there are still two left.
Me, I put one of my hands on the cement business in Yongping Prefecture, and the other took me back to the capital. I have been living in Lige Old Hutong. During this time, a Shanxi businessman wanted to develop a coke plant, and I let him in.
"Follow me and learn to do things. Although it only occupies a small part, I think the main thing is to learn to do things. After you learn it, you can do it alone."
Xue Baoqin did not hide anything from Baochai, "I asked my husband specifically about the business prospects of this iron factory, coke and cement, and my husband also said that, needless to say, the iron factory, the demand for steel and ironware will only increase.
The key lies in cost reduction and market development, and cement is used everywhere, and the supply exceeds demand. The coke plant mainly supplies iron plants, which is relatively simple, and there is no need to run the business outside. It only needs to join hands with the iron plants, so
My little sister chose this coke to make a living."
"Then if you are pregnant, what will you do with your business outside?" Baochai asked, tilting her head.
"Well, my little sister has also thought about it. There will definitely be people coming in from each room in the future. It's a pity that the second sister is not good at this, but Xiuyan is a shrewd and capable person. It's a pity that even if she wants to enter our Feng family, it is estimated that
I'm also willing to go to the third room." Xue Baoqin said calmly: "If it doesn't work out, then simply train a girl to deal with the outside world. What do you think of Jinchuan'er, sister?"
