Chapter 48: Surrender
Jia Hu's face was ugly, and he asked, "The person who participated in the impeachment of Jade Tower?" ”
The eighth prince said: "They are all the second brother's people." ”
Prince Li made a move, it is absolutely impossible for the rain to be so loud and rainy, there must be a backhand. Without the Rong Mansion of Rong Guogong, it was vulnerable to Prince Li, Jia Hu immediately made a decision and asked, "What does Your Highness want me to do?" ”
King Cheng smiled.
He chatted and said: "I heard that there is a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, which used to be the dowry of the old lady of the Zunfu, and there are craftsmen who come in and out frequently, I am very curious, I don't know what other wonderful ideas you have, Jia Hu?" ”
Jia Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness has won the award." My mother's birthday is just around the corner, and this is just a piece of filial piety as a son. Wait for the craftsman to come up with a prescription, how about I give a copy to Chengwangfu? Jia Hu didn't mention how uncomfortable he felt in his heart, cutting off people's money is like killing his parents, but the intellectual property rights here are not protected, and the legal provisions are just a dead letter in a sense, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.
King Cheng shook his head, "No, I don't want Fangzi. ”
Jia Hu breathed a sigh of relief, if Cheng Wangfu wanted to do this business, he could only give it up. He was a little puzzled and asked, "Then what can I do for Your Highness?" ”
King Cheng didn't answer, but only lightly mentioned: "Delicious fatty meat, everyone wants to take a bite, what can you do?" ”
Jia Hu said: "Our family still has some old friends. ”
The Eighth Prince sneered on the side: "There is nothing for nothing in the world, what do you use to repay favors?" ”
Jia Hu was silent. Since the Liu family took charge, the Rong Mansion and other nobles have been a little estranged, not to mention that they helped in exchange for Fangzi, and Jia Hu was also unwilling, so it was better to sell it to King Cheng. Most of the other good friends are noble, for the sake of their mother, maybe the two uncles are willing to help themselves?
The eighth prince said again: "The Liu family has always been wise to protect themselves, but with a little money, they may persuade you to give up." ”
Jia Hu sighed secretly and asked, "What are the good ideas of His Royal Highness?" ”
The Eighth Prince opened his mouth to speak, but King Cheng stopped him in time and said, "If you are a smart person, you will know which is the biggest backstage in the world." ”
Jia Hu was surprised, thought for a moment, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice." ”
At one point, Jahu went out. The Eighth Prince asked suspiciously, "Fifth Brother, aren't you trying to win over Jia Hu?" ”
A smile appeared in King Cheng's eyes, "Jia Hu's ability is not in the money, and now is not the time." ”
The Eighth Prince was speechless: "This is not capable? Those shops add up to a great fortune, in just three years, tens of millions of silver taels, and many wealthy businessmen will be about this amount in their lifetime. ”
King Cheng said helplessly: "In addition to the silver money, what else do you see?" ”
The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "Could it be that the fifth brother is still thinking about the strategy three years ago? I've read it too, and it's still written about businessmen," he said disapprovingly, "and this Jiahu's talent is only in business." ”
King Cheng was silent. The eighth brother first knew that Jia Hu's business methods were superb, and then his strategy was inevitably biased, but he first recognized Jia Hu's talent. A man who can write the way to govern the country is worthy of his patience.
When Jia Hu returned to Rongfu, the first thing he did was to confess to Jia Yu, and he was reprimanded.
Jia Yu was really angry this time.
He blushed and roared thickly: "Is the home short for you to eat and drink, or short for you to wear?" After being a dignified prince, he was willing to be a businessman! Rongguofu's face has been lost by you! ”
Jia Hu lowered his head forbearingly, looking obediently admitting his mistake.
The more Jia Yu thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he yelled, the more he didn't like it, and even the obscene and vulgar words he learned during his exile in his previous life were spoken.
After venting like this, Jia Yu calmed down and said hatefully: "You evil obstacle, your grandfather left you so much private property, and you are still not satisfied?" And he said: "You only blindly do what you can, but now that you are good, you will come to me when you cause trouble, where do you put your parents?" ”
Jia Hu explained softly: "Father, I just have nothing to do and take care of the shop. On weekdays, I still focus on my studies. ”
Jia Hu has been under Jia Yu's nose for three years, Jia Yu naturally knows that this is the truth, and the profit figures Jia Hu said are too shocking, Jia Hu doesn't care about other shops, and just snorts and says, "What about the Jade Building?" ”
"That's also my grandfather's jewelry building." Jia Hu's eyes drifted.
Jia Yu rolled his eyes, "Where did that batch of jade come from?" Without waiting for Jia Hu to say, he said: "Don't tell me that I was left to you by your grandfather, how much my father's private house is, I know in my heart!" There are definitely not so many jadeites! "At least it's not enough to open a jewelry building.
Jia Yu covered his chest and pretended to ask fiercely: "Say!" Where did you get the jadeite? Don't really collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, right?! "This bear child, how can he cause trouble more than him!
Jia Hu hurriedly said: "What is this possible! ”
Jia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a dark face: "Where did that come from?" ”
Jahu replied, "Got out of the stone." ”
Jia Yu blew his beard and glared: "You are stupid to me, jade can be born from stone?!" ”
Jia Hu explained that a year ago, on Jia Daishan's sacrifice day, he went to the temple on the outskirts of Jinling to worship the Buddha, and happened to see a middle-aged man dressed very differently from the people of the time.
It turned out that the man was a merchant who went back to the small country outside the border of Yunnan and the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and sold the silk from the south of the Yangtze River to the princes and nobles of those small countries.
Jia Hu's heart moved, and he asked him if he had heard of Tengchong's jade.
The man smiled and waved his hand, saying that he had not moved the idea of selling jade in the Great Zhou, but the jade was not actually jade, and its texture was too hard, except for the three-color jadeite, which symbolized Fu Lu Shou, which could be sold for money, it was not accepted by scholars who advocated gentleness.
Jia Hu said that he had a way to sell the jade for a price.
Later, the man signed a contract with Jia Hu's steward, and the man was responsible for selling the jade rough to Jia Hu at a low price.
Jia Hu told all these things as they were, even the fact that "Jade Fu" was personally handled by him and a friend.
Jia Yu asked in disbelief: "Is that jade really out of the stone?" ”
Jahu whispered the price that the merchant had sold him, and said, "This is the price for the stones, and the rest is only the freight." ”
Jia Yu was excited, this is a huge profit. He walked around the study several times before he calmed down, and he couldn't help but think of the predicament in front of him. Though gold and silver are good, they must also be enjoyed by life.
"Didn't His Royal Highness King Cheng ask for your bookkeeping method? Did he say he wanted to bless you? ”
Jia Hu shook his head and said something else.
The more Jia Yu listened, the brighter his eyes became, and when he finished patting Jia Hu's shoulder, he said with a pleasant face: "You write an excerpt for your father, and submit it to your father in a few days." After saying that, he walked away.
Walking to the door, he turned around again and said, "By the way, your private property, don't worry, I still have this face in front of the emperor." A qiē has a father, you can only wait for next year's spring with peace of mind! ”
Jia Hu's eyes were a little moist, and he answered in a low voice.
In the past few days, the Liu family has been particularly troubled, originally the Rong Mansion was filial piety, please watch the drama and please enjoy the flowers, and I don't know what is going on these days, even the eldest princess has posted to invite her to enjoy the plum.
In the winter, the Liu family is really not willing to go out, but who makes this eldest princess quite respected by the emperor. Besides, this royal relative, although the Liu family is Mrs. Rongbo, it is not easy to offend.
No, early this morning, the Liu family arranged a carriage to go to the eldest princess's mansion for a banquet. I went happily, but came back confused.
First of all, the eldest princess's daughter-in-law welcomed her in affectionately, the Liu family was not the highest among the ladies, and it was not the closest to the Zhao family, so it was inevitable that she was a little uneasy.
The eldest princess's daughter-in-law is surnamed Tang, and because Jia Hu and Zhao Yi have a good relationship, the two ladies also have some friendship on weekdays. Liu pulled her and whispered, "Good sister, what's wrong with you today?" ”
Tang covered his mouth and smiled: "Yo, it's not my host today, my mother-in-law is watching from above." The last sentence was low and could be heard by the Liu family who was closest to her.
Liu knew that it was the instruction of the eldest princess. She also put on a smile on her face and talked to Mrs. Tang about intimacy, and saw that the face of the old princess of Nan'an, who was beside the eldest princess, was distorted.
After each of them sat down, the old princess of Nan'an said with a smile: "Yo, isn't this Mrs. Jia?" Why didn't I bring the jade head face from last time? ”
Since the death of Jia's mother, the relationship between Rongfu and Nan'an Wangfu has faded, and the New Year's ceremony is not salty or light. The relationship between the old princess of Nan'an and Jia's mother has always been good, not only because she suspected that Jia's mother went suddenly, but also because the time was a little coincidental, just a few months before Rong Guogong went, and after Jia Yu was not happy, Rongfu blindly alienated the four kings and eight princes, and had a lot of resentment towards Jia Yu's wife.
This time, the eldest princess invited all the noble ladies, the old princess of Nan'an, the princess of Nan'an, the princess of Beijing, and other first-class uncles, first-class sons, and generals' wives all arrived. Among the guests, the old princess of Nan'an had the highest rank and the heaviest weight, ranking first on the left of the eldest princess, but Liu was taken to the right of the eldest princess.
Hearing this, Liu's reflexively covered his mouth and chuckled, ready to mix this paragraph. This old princess of Nan'an has not had a good life for a few years, and the Liu family can't contradict her, if the old man has a good one, the Liu family will not be mixed in the circle of noblewomen.
At this time, a middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said: "The old lady said that she was joking, how could anyone bring the same set of faces every day, and it was not a broken household, so there was no joke." ”
Liu turned his head to look over and was taken aback.
