Chapter 186: Concubine Zhao: I don't want to learn from other people's Dongfuli
Jia Heng frowned, watching the child go away, and began to guess his identity.
Jia Huan is a family trouble.
"However, I am just a child now. The tree has grown crooked. Just repair it." Jia Heng looked silent for a moment, thinking.
And when I walked further inside, I saw three or four young boys, shouting "big... little..."
They were obviously gathered in the corridor playing dice. One of them, Jia Heng, had seen him next to Baoyu before, so he recognized him. He was Mingyan, with his handsome features and a clever look in his eyes.
Although I don't recognize the other boys, from what Jia Huan just said, they should be the boys next to Baoyu.
"Xu Shi, lead the spring, sweep the flowers, pick up the clouds, accompany the crane, hoe the medicine, double auspiciousness, double longevity, sweep away the red, the flow of ink rain." Jia Heng's eyes were shining brightly, recalling the dusty memory about the previous life "Dream of Red Mansions"
"Records.
There are four servants and ten servants beside Baoyu. The four servants are Zhang Ruojin, Zhao Yihua, Wang Rong, Li Gui. Needless to say, Li Gui is the one who calls the deer roaring and the lotus leaf duckweed. The presence of several others is felt.
weak.
Jia Heng's mind was racing and he kept walking. Just as he was about to walk closer to ask, Lin Zhixiao walked quickly and shouted, "You guys are so brave to gather here to gamble!"
I don't know whether he was worried that Jia Heng would lose these boys, or he felt that he had lost the face of the Xifu in front of the clan leader.
However, this loud shout was so frightening that several of the boys almost jumped up. When Mingyan turned around and saw that it was Lin Zhixiao, she was stunned for a moment and said with a playful smile: "Grandpa Lin, we are just having fun here to relieve our boredom."
As for my son, this is not waiting for Mr. Bao, it’s been a while and nothing happened.”
Lin Zhixiao waved his hand and said: "What are you doing here shouting and shouting? Get out of here."
Mingyan chuckled and said, "Yes, Grandpa Lin."
As he said this, he winked at a few boys, and they dispersed in a flash.
Jia Heng looked pale, frowned, pressed the sword on his waist, but did not say anything after all. Even if he was the clan leader, there were many things in the Xi Mansion that it was not easy for him to meddle in rashly.
However, the action of pressing the sword gave Lin Zhixiao a sudden thought. He misunderstood Jia Heng's thoughts and said with a smile: "These boys are making nonsense, making Uncle Heng laugh."
Jia Heng said: "Butler Lin, there is no need to say more."
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked straight towards the inner hall.
After walking for a short time, I arrived outside Rongqing Hall. I saw Jia Mu, supported by Yuanyang, Hubo and other maids, as well as Li Wan and Sister Feng, standing under the eaves of the corridor, looking at the hanging flower door. Apparently, she had been waiting for a while.
On the side were Mrs. Wang, Bao Dai, Tan Xi, Ying Chun and several other maids, such as Jin Chuan, Xi Ren, Zicuckoo, Shu Shu, Ru Hua and Qi Si.
Eyes full of pearls and emeralds, warblers and swallows, pairs of eyes that are either soft, pretty, old, or indifferent intertwined in the sky.
Jia Heng nodded in greeting one by one, stepped forward, bowed his hands to Jia's mother, and said: "I have seen the old lady, and the old lady is waiting outside the hall. Heng is really uneasy."
With a smile on her face, Jia's mother couldn't help shaking her hand on crutches, and said: "Okay, okay, Brother Heng is back. Come sit down in the room."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand to say hello.
Mrs. Wang on the side looked at the commoner boy who had recently become the center of Jia's family. Looking at the indifferent expression, waves of uncontrollable disgust surged out of her heart.
"Ever since this man was knighted, the East and West mansions have regarded him as higher than the sky and thicker than the earth. He also has this arrogant and frivolous look, which is exactly the same as the cheap maid in his mansion.
of."
Mrs. Wang thought with some coldness in her heart.
No wonder Mrs. Wang would have this thought. First, Jia Heng's appearance attracted the attention of Jia Mu, Sister Feng and others in Xifu. By the way, there was also Jia Zheng. After returning home in the past few days, Heng brother said,
Ziyu shut her mouth, Mrs. Wang listened with a smile on her face, but you can imagine the boredom in her heart.
Secondly, the day before yesterday, Qingwen stopped Baoyu from entering the inner hall and ridiculed Baoyu for living by eating rouge from girls' mouths, which made Mrs. Wang deeply resentful. Not to mention, Mrs. Wang felt that she was choked by a maid and lost her dignity.
Although Jia Heng was chatting with Jia Mu at the moment, he glanced around and saw the expressions of everyone in the Jia family, and also noticed the unnatural look on Mrs. Wang's face.
This method of observation, which does not require looking around or turning your eyes left and right, is almost the standard for later generations of soldiers.
Focused and fast.
While several people were talking, they entered the inner hall.
Jia Mu sat on the Arhat couch, with Yuanyang squeezing her shoulders from behind her. A smile appeared on her old face and she said, "Brother Heng, are you done with this?"
"Go back to the old lady. After staying at home for about an hour, you have to go to Dongcheng." Jia Heng said with a cold face.
As if she was used to Jia Heng's behavior, Jia's mother didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "You are leading the emperor's mission now, and you are so busy every day that you hit the back of the head with your feet."
Sister Feng answered with a cute smile and said, "No,"
She had just met Jia Heng and felt completely at peace. She knew that although this Brother Heng was hard-faced and cruel, he was a trustworthy person. Sure enough, even though he was so busy, he still took an hour out to come back and help Xi Mansion check the accounts.
If she doesn't check the accounts, Xifuli will be unable to hold on any longer. The whole family doesn't wait for the rice to be cooked, but they are still spending money like water. She can't help but have to borrow money again...
Well, forget it.
The majestic young man seemed to appear in front of his eyes again, looking down at her like a tiger and a wolf who wished he could eat her.
Sister Feng's bright face showed a strange color, her plump and round buttocks were squeezed into the chair, her legs under her skirt were crossed, but she changed her sitting position.
It can be said that even Jia Heng did not realize that all the previous strengths had gradually produced a kind of conditioning and educational effect on Sister Feng with a "seal of thought".
When I think of usury, like Pavlov's dog, Jia Heng's threats emerge in my heart, and that wonderful, strange feeling comes to Sister Feng's heart.
Jia Heng said: "The Holy Emperor has treated me with great kindness, and the Emperor's kindness to my Jia family is even greater. How can Heng not stay up all day long? Besides, there is another big case in Dongcheng, so I will be very busy these days. I said before that I would check the accounts.
, and it is not intended to delay Canada.”
Gu Su
Hearing this, Jia Mu's smile faded and she said in a clear voice: "No one said that you were interested in getting big and delaying. You were originally here to help. Whoever said such ungrateful words will be the first to refuse."
Sister Feng also had a smile on her pretty face and said: "Ancestor, who do you think can say such heartless words? It's just..."
Um?
This morning, did she remember who told her that Brother Heng was interested in bringing Da?
You still think you have a face that no one knows
A handsome man wearing a purple headscarf and a handsome face appeared in front of his eyes.
In the middle of her words, Sister Feng had no choice but to continue: "Originally, it was Brother Heng who came to help our Xifu. Who dares to gossip and gossip?"
Jia Heng said: "Thank you to the old lady and Sister-in-law Feng for your understanding. I just have something to say to the old lady about the audit."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Mountains of gold and silver can't stand it, but I can't stand it. I've heard and witnessed some of the situation in Xifu in the past two years. Although I can't explain the inside and outside, I still have some ideas. One is corruption and waste, and the other is corruption."
There is no income. There are about more than 300,000 taels of this silver. If we take it back to the public, it will only take one or two years, and it may not even take one or two years. It will be exhausted. It is better to use it to do some business and save capital.
Perpetual, only distribution of profit."
When Jia Mu heard this, she looked at Sister Feng aside and said with a smile, "Girl Feng, what do you think?"
The smile on Sister Feng's face was a little stagnant, and she thought to herself, can't the recovered money go directly to the public house? What else is there to do?
Sister Feng was silent for a moment, obviously feeling a little unhappy.
Mrs. Wang smiled slightly and said: "The performance has not been good these past few years, and the ground is not very flat. If we lose money in business, it will be... not good. Speaking of which, Baoyu's aunt in the south wrote a letter saying,
Business in Jinling is getting harder and harder, so I want to come to the capital to see the situation."
"Aunt? Did she say when she would come over?" Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and said with a charming smile.
When Sister Feng gets married, she follows her husband. This is because she is called according to the Jia family, otherwise she would be called aunt.
Mrs. Wang smiled lightly and said: "She didn't say when she would come over, she just said this intention. Your cousin, Pan'er, is in Jinling now. It's hard to go to Beijing, and Pan'er won't be used to living there."
Xue Datou is still living freely in Jinling, bullying men and dominating women, and has not beaten Feng Yuan to death for competing to buy Zhen Yinglian. Therefore, the three members of the Xue family have not yet gone to Beijing.
Jia Mu smiled and said: "Baoyu's mother is right, this business is not easy to do. I'm afraid the good businesses have owners, and the capital of those businesses that are not easy to do is lost."
The implication of this is that it is better not to use this money to do business, but to put it into the public house to make up for the shortfall.
Jia Heng secretly shook his head after hearing this.
Rong Mansion's reaction was not unexpected.
In fact, he already had some opinions on what kind of business he should do, except that the salt and iron business was a high-profit business, which was not easy to touch.
Left and right, just four words: food, clothing, housing and transportation.
As for the Jianghu gangs that are raging in Dongcheng, once they are wiped out and the stolen money is seized, it goes without saying that it will be put into the national treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and some properties will inevitably be sold at a low price, because it is ridiculous to say that under the watchful eyes of the civil servant group, Tian
It is not good for the family to compete with the people for profit.
At that time, he can look for white gloves and take advantage of the opportunity to take over part of the industry.
"At this time, materials from the West and Southeast Asia are in short supply in China. We can send people to Haojing and Guangdong provinces to inspect and see what they can do to make a living." Jia Heng thought in his mind.
For him, it is not appropriate to take too big steps now. Wealth must match his status. Otherwise, if he is really talented, he will also make wedding clothes for others.
"It's just that Rong Mansion has no intention of doing business. We might as well look at this matter later."
Jia Heng felt that it was better to wait a little longer, at least wait until Jia She was dealt with before making any further arguments.
The principle of leading people to make money is the same as teaching people to trade stocks. If others make money, they will only think it is their own ability and luck. But if they lose...who will they blame? Needless to say.
On the other side of the room, while Jia Heng was thinking about it, Jia Mu smiled and said: "You have to be careful when doing errands for the Holy Lord. You also have to be careful about the ancestor worship in the house. Brother Heng, you have to be knighted for your merits."
, this is a great happy event that will bring glory to our family."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Old lady, I plan to lead the men in the house to worship our ancestors in the ancestral hall and comfort our ancestors in these two days."
Seeing that Jia Heng agreed, Mother Jia's smile grew brighter and she said: "Brother Heng, I have discussed this with Feng Yatou. If not, we will worship our ancestors tomorrow and entertain the men of the two houses in the afternoon, and then in the evening, the day after tomorrow."
How do you feel about going to Qingxu Temple to pray for blessings, and then inviting a theater troupe to liven things up?"
Although Jia Heng felt that it was a bit arrogant, he thought about it again and realized that this was exactly the way to paralyze the people in the Sanhe Gang. After thinking about it, he felt that if Jinyi Mansion's work efficiency was followed, he should be able to collect the leaders of the Sanhe Gang in three days.
Address and route of action, if you delay for a longer time, you will not be able to reap the sudden effect of a thunderous strike.
Thinking of this, he muttered: "Just follow the old lady's wishes."
Seeing Jia Heng's rare willingness to agree, Mother Jia felt happy, and even more so, with a smile on her face, she said happily: "Okay, okay, that's it, girl Feng, you and Brother Heng's daughter-in-law in the West Mansion also have many children."
Let’s discuss it and make sure this matter is handled properly.”
Now, in the West Mansion, Sister Feng is in charge of the house, and in the East Mansion, needless to say, Qin Keqing is in charge of the affairs of the house.
Seeing Jia's mother smiling happily, everyone in the Rongqing Hall also smiled. Even Li Wan's elegant and beautiful face showed a bit of joy.
And just as they were chatting, laughing and banqueting in the Rongqing Hall, and the guests and hosts were having a great time, they heard a clear and penetrating female voice coming from far and near, with a cadence in the intonation.
With a bit of meanness:
"I have to ask the old lady for comment, but it doesn't work. No matter how unsatisfied this maggot is, he can't even dare to bully a slave now. He was cheated out of money by a servant and even scolded Huan'er. I just want to ask, what's wrong with the slave?
You dare to climb on the master’s head!”
For a moment, I saw a woman wearing an orchid-colored broken leaf skirt, her hair tied up in a woman's bun on her temples, with a pink flower on her temples, her face was fair and gorgeous, and her posture was quite beautiful.
Holding a crying child in his hand, he entered the inner hall.
"When you cry, you know how to cry. You are a maggot with evil heart and an uncreated seed! You were bullied by an evil slave, and you don't follow the example of the guy in the East Mansion and beat him up! You just know how to cry in my room!" Aunt Zhao said.
In the meantime, he grabbed Jia Huan's ear with one hand, walked around the pine shelf screen engraved with plum blossom rocks, entered the inner hall, and shouted.
Jia Huan didn't know whether he gritted his teeth in pain or felt aggrieved. There were tears in his eyes, his face was aggrieved, and he shouted: "Mingyan is Baoyu's servant. He gambles and cheats, and calls me a slave."
Born in this lifetime... Wuwu, why am I not born to my wife..."
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she became furious. Her pretty face was twisted with anger. She pinched her waist and scolded: "You dirty and shameless thing, you crawled out of my intestines."
Yes, have you still been wronged?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Jia Huan whimpered, and the mother and son appeared in front of everyone in the inner hall, fighting.
