Chapter 394 This is the daughter of the Jia family, I have to add money!
Just when Jia Heng was leading Qin Keqing to her parents' house, they were in the courtyard of a black throttle house not far from Rongguo Mansion.
In the side room, Jia She was talking to Mrs.
When Lin Zhixiao had just come over to inform Jia She that he was going to Dongfu Ancestral Hall to worship his ancestors tomorrow morning, Jia She's dissatisfaction had already accumulated to the limit.
As soon as Lin Zhixiao left, Jia She's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "I will worship my ancestors tomorrow, and this kid will be even more satisfied."
Jealousy surged up uncontrollably in my heart, thinking that he was only a first-class general, so how could this kid be promoted to a first-class baron?
There was frost on Mrs.
Let Ping'er go look for the troupe."
Jia She said coldly: "She is used to asking for tricks, and Brother Lian can't control her."
This is about Sister Feng. Because Jia Lian stole Yanhong from his concubine, he was rewarded with Qiu Tong, and Qiu Tong entered the back house, which was not an economical thing. Sister Feng was very resentful towards Jia She and Mrs. Xing.
It shows in his normal attitude.
Mentioning Jia Lian, Jia She's eyes dimmed. Although some things have passed for a while, some things are not carefully examined, but they are like scars. Although they have healed, bloody granulation will be revealed when they are pulled.
Fortunately, Jia Lian has been quite capable recently, running around to the north and helping him earn a lot of money.
Just think of Yanhong as a reward for that bastard.
Jia She took a deep breath, suppressed his negative emotions, and said, "Lian'er went to visit his relatives. It's time to come back at this time. Since he's not home, please take the time to talk to his wife."
Mrs. Xing responded.
As a mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing can still handle Sister Feng even though she comes from a small family.
The couple talked casually.
Mrs. Xing hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Master, my brother is in Suzhou, and life at home is not easy. A letter came the day before yesterday, saying that he wanted to come to Beijing. What do you think, Master?"
It turned out that Mrs. Xing's brother Xing Zhong had sent a letter not long ago and wanted to go to Beijing. In fact, life at home was really difficult and he wanted to come over and join Mrs. Xing.
However, Mrs. Xing flattered Jia She blindly. She was afraid of annoying Jia She and did not dare to make decisions without authorization. She wanted to listen to Jia She's ideas.
Jia She picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said impatiently: "You can just decide for yourself on such small matters. You don't need to ask me about everything."
When Mrs. Xing heard this, she smiled and said, "Then I'll let them come to Beijing."
Different from the original work, Xing Xiuyan and his family were not allowed to enter Beijing until after the Grand View Garden was completed. Now, due to the butterfly effect, this Miaoyu friend, a dignified, elegant, comfortable and self-sufficient woman, entered Beijing in advance.
While the two were discussing, a servant called from under the eaves, "Master, there is someone named Sun Shaozu. Please hand over the invitation and come to visit the master."
Jia She frowned, and when he heard Sun Shaozu's name, he looked uneasy and snorted: "Sun Shaozu, what is he doing here again?"
This Sun Shaozu was so tired that he knelt down in the ancestral hall for the first time. On the 29th day of the first year of the lunar month, he came again and asked him to introduce Jia Heng's son. On the second day of the new year, he came to visit again, just like a debt collector.
The servant whispered: "I came to see you, and I have a generous gift for you. Here is the gift list."
Since Sun Shaozu visited Jia She last time, he was unwilling to meet Jia Heng as he wished. He lingered in the capital for a while, but still couldn't find a way to fill the gap. He waited until yesterday and heard that Jia Heng
The news that he was promoted to baron immediately made his mind come alive again.
I spent another five or six hundred taels of silver to buy some affordable gifts, and came to visit Jia She, planning to explore some more opportunities.
Jia She took the gift list from the servant, glanced at it, twirled his short beard under his chin with his hand, his face softened a bit, and said: "Take him to the hall and wait, sir, I will be there later."
Although the matter of waiting for promotion cannot be done, the gift should still be accepted. If you want to give a gift to someone, you will not ask for the five thousand taels of silver.
The flower hall is luxuriously decorated.
Sun Shaozu was dressed in the robes of a military attache, with a majestic figure, sitting upright on a nanmu chair, with a gloomy and uncertain expression on his face covered with beard. At first glance, he looked somewhat heroic.
Holding the teacup, thinking.
He finally understood that this old bastard Jia She belonged to Pixiu and could only get in and out.
It's probably hard to ask for these five thousand taels of silver.
"In this case, it's not a bad idea to be this old man's son-in-law. I heard that he has a concubine who is about twelve or thirteen years old. Let's settle the marriage first and wait a year or two for them to marry. This will be the same as the Jia family's relationship since then.
Once we become in-laws, my Sun family's family status will be elevated, and it will be much cheaper to live with that Lord Jia at that time."
Sun Shaozu picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and thought this way.
He was not idle during this period, and inquired about some situations in the East and West Prefectures. This Jia She and the Jia Jueye did not seem to have much to deal with when the latter was not prosperous. Later, because they were both in the East and West Prefectures of the Jia family
The official maintained a posture of disharmony between his face and his heart.
But he just borrowed a raft to cross the river, and the rest still depends on his means.
Sun Shaozu's eyes flashed coldly, thinking about how to deal with Jia She later.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a fair face wearing a Su brocade robe opened the curtain and entered the flower hall, saying with a smile on his face: "My dear nephew."
"Shibo, Shibo has always been kind, but my nephew is being polite." Sun Shaozu stood up quickly, cupped his hands and saluted.
The two exchanged pleasantries and sat down again.
Jia She took a look at Sun Shaozu, smiled and said, "Come as soon as your nephew comes, how can you get a gift?"
Sun Shaozu had a solemn look on his face and said seriously: "I came here to see Uncle Shi, why did I come here empty-handed? Besides, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and relatives should come to visit me."
Jia She picked up the tea cup, took a sip, concealed the strange thoughts in his heart, smiled, took the initiative to bring up the past, and said: "My dear nephew, something happened last time, so I wanted to introduce Brother Heng to you.
Son's."
"Uncle Shi, I'm awake. Mr. Jia has a high vision. Maybe he doesn't like Sun, but that's true." Sun Shaozu smiled.
Hearing this, Jia She actually nodded and said, "That's more or less what I mean. Brother Heng is young after all. He has achieved great success at a young age and is somewhat energetic."
Sun Shaozu secretly thought that indeed, the two of them just refused to deal with each other. Otherwise, how could they agree with the foreign guests instead of defending them?
After pondering for a moment, he said with a smile: "My nephew is here, but I have an unkind invitation."
Jia She's face froze, and he forced a smile and said: "My dear nephew, I'm thinking of a way to deal with the promotion of your waiting child. My dear nephew, please don't be impatient for a moment."
Sun Shaozu's face paused slightly and he said with a smile: "Shibo has misunderstood. I'm waiting for a promotion. My nephew has some ideas. Now I heard that Shibo has a daughter who has a beautiful country and a beautiful home. My nephew admires her very much. I want to
Can I be a good friend of the Qin and Jin Dynasties and your family? I wonder what Shi Bo wants?"
He asked a gentleman who sold calligraphy for advice on this passage, and he memorized it several times over the past two days.
When Jia She heard this, he was startled. He looked at Sun Shaozu, looked at it carefully, squinted his eyes, and asked: "I do have a girl waiting for my wife, but where did my nephew hear about it?"
"To be honest, Uncle Shi, I invited Mr. Lian to have a drink with me last time. We had a very pleasant conversation with him and he became a confidant. When I found out that he also had a beautiful girl, my nephew took notice of him. Mr. Shi also forgave me.
My nephew has the audacity to ask for marriage." Sun Shaozu seemed to have a shy look on his rough face, and he sold Jia Lian backhand.
When Jia She heard this, he knew it was Jia Lian who had revealed it, so he was not angry at all. He just frowned and turned his eyes, thinking about the pros and cons.
Those five thousand taels of silver definitely cannot be returned. So betrothing Yingchun to Sun Shaozu seems... not bad?
A concubine's concubine cannot marry into a good family.
And this Sun Shaozu was also a high-ranking military attaché, not to mention that it would be unreasonable if he didn't give an account of the five thousand taels of silver.
Jia She thought for a while and made up his mind, but he deliberately showed a look of embarrassment on his face and sighed: "It is said that my nephew is also a military commander and comes from a famous family. But although my girl has a harder life and is just a commoner, I
The daughter of the Jia family is virtuous, virtuous, and dignified in appearance. Regardless of her concubine, she cannot easily adapt to others. Besides, she is still young, so such an engagement is a bit too early."
The implication is that this is the daughter of the Jia family, so we need to pay more!
Sun Shaozu hesitated for a moment, then stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Shibo, my nephew is very determined to get married to Shibo. Please ask Shibo to make it happen."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Although my Sun family doesn't have much property in Beijing, it still has little wealth. I will never treat you badly. As for my young age, my nephew is willing to wait for two years to get married."
He just used the Jia family to improve his family status and make connections, and he didn't even care about beauty or ugliness.
Jia She touched the green thumb on his hand and said calmly: "My dear nephew, let me think about this matter. My girl is actually still young, so she is not in a big hurry."
Since Sun Shaozu wanted something from him, he would let it dry first, maybe he could squeeze out more oil and water.
Hearing this, Sun Shaozu felt a little dissatisfied with Jia She's displeasure, but the smile on his face did not diminish. He bowed and said, "Then my nephew will just wait for the good news of Shibo."
With that said, he didn't stay much and left.
Jia She nodded and smiled at the servant beside him: "Send it off for me."
Sun Shaozu walked out of the black oil gate and stood on the street. His big face turned gloomy and he secretly spat, "Old bastard, you want money!"
How could he not know what Jia She stood for? He was a special woman and still wanted to take money from him!
"Come on, come on, come on, let's settle the marriage first."
Once such a wealthy family decides on a marriage, it is difficult to go back on it until he gets the marriage certificate.
"But I need to get at least another two thousand taels of silver. But now that I'm in such a hurry, where else can I get money?" Just when Sun Shaozu was struggling with the money, he suddenly saw three cavalrymen coming from the end of Ningrong Street, headed by
Sitting on the saddle is a young knight in bright clothes and an angry horse. He is arrogant and has his nostrils raised to the sky. There are two knights behind him.
Sun Shaozu frowned and couldn't figure out his identity for a moment, but looking at the military uniform, he was a small flag officer from the Beijing camp.
I heard a boy sweeping the floor in front of Rongguo Mansion approaching and asking with a smile: "Uncle Qin, where are you coming from?"
Jia Qin's horse slowed down a little, snorted and said, "Can you care?"
He whipped up his horse and whip, leading the two knights towards the alley.
The young man from the Rong Mansion had an angry look on his face, spat and cursed: "What's the air? I just got a raise from Uncle Heng and became an official in the capital."
Another young man in a cloth robe had just come out of the corner gate of Rongfu, holding a cloth bag in his hand.
At this time, the young man said: "Hey, Brother Fing, it seems that Uncle Heng also asked you to go to the Beijing camp to serve as a soldier, why didn't you go?
Another boy, who was sweeping up the firecracker debris with a broom, said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that the worst person in the capital camp is also a small flag official. Second Master Yun in the corridor, during the Chinese New Year last year, he went to
It's autumn at home, and I heard that he is now prosperous. He bought more than ten kilograms of meat during the Chinese New Year and brought it home, which made his mother extremely happy."
The young man wearing starched clothes that were not old yet looked unhappy as he listened to the two boys' conversation, and even felt a little ashamed.
That person was Jia Fen. When Jia Heng summoned the common people to go to the capital, Jia Fen didn't go because he was weak. Jia Heng also took half a ginseng to recuperate his body.
Now Jia Fen doesn't want to think that Brother Yun and Brother Fang, who grew up together in the past, are of the same caliber, but she can only go to Rongguo Mansion to play in the autumn wind. She feels both envy and regret in her heart.
"I regret it." Jia Fen's face turned pale, and he sighed secretly in his heart. He put his sleeves in his sleeves, picked up his cloth bag, and left Rongguo Mansion.
Sun Shaozu listened to the conversation between the two boys in front of the Rongguo Mansion, and looked at the tall horse disappearing at the corner of the street, with a look of thought on his rough face.
"A member of the Jia family? I heard that Uncle Heng allowed the children of the common people to serve as generals in the army. I think they will be promoted and used in the future. If I become a good friend of the Jia family, I should be able to take care of him."
Thinking of this, my heart became more and more passionate, and I became more urgent about marrying the Jia family.
"It's just that it's still money..."
Sun Shaozu led the horse, thinking about where to collect money, and walked quickly to the street. Suddenly he saw three or four more horses coming towards him, stepping on the bluestone slabs and making a clicking sound.
The man sitting on the saddle, wearing a blue shirt and long robe, has a well-proportioned figure and a handsome face. Under two thick eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes look passionately, and there is a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the person coming, Sun Shaozu's eyes lit up and he recognized him. He came closer, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Second Master, Mr. Sun invites you to this room."
Jia Lian pulled the reins, stopped the horse, and turned around. When he saw Sun Shaozu waiting for him with his horse on the side of the road, a smile appeared on his handsome face and he said, "It turns out to be Brother Sun. Where did this come from?"
Sun Shaozu smiled and said: "I just came here to visit Shibo. Where did the Second Master come back from?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "I am not in the second grade of junior high school today. I went to visit some old relatives. I just came back."
After saying that, he got off the horse, threw the reins of the horse to the boy beside him, and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, I haven't thanked you for being so kind last time. It's getting late. How about having a few drinks at the humble house?"
Jia Lian said, looking at the tall and bearded young man in front of him, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked away.
Secretly, he is such a good man!
The Sun family was a family of military generals in Datong, and many members of the family were generals in border towns. Their influence was intertwined. If a trade road could be opened from there directly to the grassland, he could bypass the big boss and find his own source of wealth.
Thinking of all the wonderful things about having money in hand, Jia Lian's eyes were a little distracted.
Seeing that Jia Lian had a warm smile on his face and a friendly attitude, which suited Sun Shaozu's wishes, he pretended to be bold and said with a bold smile: "Second Master Lian is so open-minded, so it's better for Sun to be respectful than obey your orders."
With that said, he followed Jia Lian to Huazhi Lane, Rongning Street.
After Jia Lian had a lot of money, he bought a mansion in Huazhi Lane to live away from home (to recruit prostitutes). Of course, it was also because of the discord between the couple. After the incident in Dongcheng, Sister Feng had a grudge and would not let Jia Lian touch it again.
I was shaken, but I happened to encounter Jia Lian stealing Yanhong and being rewarded with Qiutong. I was so frightened that I never let Jia Lian touch her again.
Jia Lian was so happy. He thought that Sister Feng couldn't let go of the marriage issue, so the couple continued to have a "cold war", which only made Sister Feng miserable.
Jia Lian led Sun Shaozu to the courtyard.
Jia Lian first asked Zhao'er to lead Sun Shaozu to wait in the courtyard, and then turned around and went to Jia She's courtyard. When he returned to visit relatives, he was scolded, and he returned to Sanchong's courtyard in Huazhi Lane as if nothing had happened.
At this time, the servants had prepared a banquet, and two women in bright clothes and gorgeous flowers were accompanying the banquet.
Jia Lian invited Sun Shaozu to sit down, and they drank and drank. He did not mention the smuggling, but drank and chatted about other things.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Jia Lian smiled and asked, "I just heard from the elder that Brother Sun wants to marry my sister Yingchun?"
Sun Shaozu took a sip of wine and said with a "honest" smile: "To be honest with you, I have this intention. I wonder what your views are?"
Jia Lian picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "What can I say? I'm just following the master's arrangement. But if something goes well, you will become my brother-in-law."
Sun Shaozu smiled and said: "That's right, why don't you call me uncle?"
This itself is attitude.
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Sun Shaozu looked quite depressed on his red face and said: "Second Master, depending on Shibo's wishes, I'm afraid I need a large sum of money to betroth my sister to my brother.
So shy."
Jia Lian's eyes moved, and he thought to himself, what he was waiting for was your words. He smiled and said, "Brother Sun, our family is also a prominent one in Datong. We should have a lot of money to make a living, right? How can we say that we are short of money?"
Sun Shaozu smiled bitterly and said: "Since the second master is one of our own, I will not hide it from you. The shop business at home has been in chaos in the past two years, and the business is not very good."
Jia Lian nodded and said: "Business is not easy to do, but Brother Sun is clearly guarding a way to make money, why do you turn a blind eye?"
Sun Shaozu was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Second Master, you made me confused?"
Jia Lian smiled and kept secret.
It's not good to talk about smuggling grassland directly.
At this time, Sun Shaozu came back to his senses. Looking at that look, he seemed to have some realization and whispered: "Second Master, are you talking about the business going to the grassland?"
Jia Lian smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Sun Shaozu paused in his wine cup and said in a low voice: "Second Master, as far as Sun knows, there are quite a few people doing this business in Datong."
In fact, he didn't tell the truth just now. There are grassland smugglers in his clan, and they have some cooperation with the Fan family, but he didn't interfere much.
Jia Lian whispered: "Brother Sun's family is in Datong, haven't you tried this way?"
Sun Shaozu waved his hand and whispered: "But this is a beheading business, it's too risky."
Jia Lian smiled and said, "You can't say that. There is a mutual market in the towns near the imperial court. It's just that the taxes collected are too heavy and the goods that are easy to sell are not allowed to be sold."
Sun Shaozu was a little moved at this moment and said: "I will consider the Second Master's proposal."
Jia Lian smiled and said: "Drink, drink, let's not talk about this first."
The two people were kissing each other again, but one had a delicate face and the other had a rugged face. In the dusk light, there was a strong sense of beauty in contrast.
