also feels mediocre, as well as Jia Jiu.

After all, Jia Jiu is just closed, and he is not dead. Some things, even if he didn't go out, there were people who reported things to him.

Stopping his pen, Jia Jiu hugged the tea bowl, took a deep breath, and said, "Huh? Is that so? ”

Qingwen and Xiaohong glanced at each other, and hurriedly came up to serve, one sharpened the ink for Jia Jiu, and the other put the newly cut paper neatly, and said, "Girl, aren't you surprised?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Why should I be surprised? ”

Qingwen and Xiaohong hurriedly lowered their heads.

Jia Jiu smiled and replied: "Don't say that people like us are in the palace, even if they are princesses, aren't they also fighting for clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache, and sisters are jealous, openly and secretly?" ”

Qingwen smiled and said: "But girl, the maid is just curious, the one who provoked the trouble turned out to be Miss Shida." ”

Jia Jiu looked at him and said, "Isn't it pretending to be confused?" Qian Yatou and Qing Yatou are already county monarchs and township monarchs canonized by the imperial court, and their share of the family is also superior, why do they need to fight? The eldest uncle of Dongfu has four sisters and a daughter, whether it is Zhen's sister-in-law or Rong's daughter-in-law, he has no children now, so he still holds the fourth sister in the palm of his hand? The third sister is over there, and his future is in the hands of that person, who is not a charitable person, and the third sister is just to please him, and the future is limited. Unless the old lady is tough and compassionate, the third sister can only rely on that side. Sister Lin spent their Lin family's money, so there was no need to fight. Sister Xing knows my temper. Plus the temperament is also indifferent, and it is also indisputable. The rest are nothing more than the Li family sisters, the Xue family sisters and the Yun sisters. ”

Xiaohong hurriedly said: "The Li family is fine." Whether it's the Xue family or not, they are all relatives over there, and they have nothing to do with our house. There is only Miss Yun, although she is a guest, she grew up in front of the old lady when she was a child, and she is not as long as staying in this house in her own home. said that it was the old lady's maiden niece and granddaughter, but the old lady treated Miss Yun. is almost the same as his own granddaughter. That's why Miss Yun will fight. Is that what the girl meant? ”

Jia Jiu sighed and said, "Although the old lady pities Sister Yun. But the old lady is the wife of our Jia family after all, although Sister Yun has the heart of the old lady, but he is the girl of the Shi family after all. The old lady knew this better than anyone else. Although the old lady is very good to Sister Yun, she also cherishes Sister Yun a lot. But in the real big deals. The old lady still puts us first, and she will not let Sister Yun surpass his own grandson. Sister Yun is raised in front of the old lady, although some eat and some play, but you see, in terms of real upbringing, how can the old lady care? ”

It's a lot, Jia Jiu didn't say much.

These things, the girls in Jia Jiu's house are very clear. Don't say Shi Xiangyun. Even Lin Daiyu, as long as Mother Jia has this thought. Again it was calculated.

At the beginning, in Lin Daiyu's house, Jia's mother did not express her position, because Jia's mother had not dispelled the idea of letting Jia Baoyu marry Lin Daiyu. It can be said that Jia Jiu acted at that time, in fact, at the risk of offending Jia's mother.

Even Jia Jiu himself has to admit that now he can live so comfortably at home only because he is becoming more and more valuable to this family, so Jia's mother gave him more freedom. Once he loses his value, he is afraid that the first person to abandon him is this old lady who is proud of herself everywhere.

For Jia's mother's coldness, Jia Jiu had already been mentally prepared.

The only thing Jia Jiu can rest assured about is Jia Yu. In the Jia family, a place where family affection is indifferent, only in the bottom of Jia Yu's heart, there is still a little warmth, and only Jia Yu can take advantage of himself when something happens to him.

Of course, Jia Jiu would never let himself fall to that point.

Looking at the shadow outside the window, Jia Jiu was silent for a long time.

Just when Jia Jiu was immersed in his thoughts, he heard Lin Yu visiting.

The girls in the house were stunned for a moment, several aunts reacted very quickly, and Qiu Dianzan was the first to stand up: "Junjun, do you want me to refuse Uncle Lin?" ”

The Lin family is still in filial piety. Lin Yu is a man again, and he is also ten years old. Even according to Jia's mother's rules, Lin Yu's age is still young, but when he is put outside, he is not too young. It's a cheap cousin and brother, how can you avoid this kind of thing.

Jia Jiu squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "No, no need, I'll go see him in person." Invite him to sit in the outer study for a while. I changed my clothes and went over. ”

Because the Lin family is still keeping filial piety, out of respect, Jia Jiu still changed into a full-breasted skirt with a moon white background, with a azure shawl. The jewelry on the head also chose gold jewelry inlaid with white pearls, and the number was not much.

Although Lin Ruhai's anniversary has not passed, nine months have passed, and Jia Jiu does not need to continue to use silver jewelry, and gold jewelry inlaid with white pearls is also in line with the current etiquette.

Lin Yu saw Jia Jiu dressed like this, although the anger in his heart did not go down, but the look on his face was relieved, and he came to greet his cousin, the two sat down separately, and another little girl brought tea fruit.

When the little girl went down, Lin Yu saw that several aunts had no intention of leaving, and she also squinted slightly, picked up the tea bowl first, took a sip of tea, and stared at Jia Jiu quietly.

The looks, the movements, the indescribable majesty. It doesn't seem like he wants to be a concubine. Outside, even the heads of those lords and nobles' families are not as good as them.

Jia Jiu was a little interested in the eldest man of the Lin family, and when he saw that the other party didn't speak, he had to speak: "My cousin came to see me, but he avoided Sister Lin?" ”

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Why did my cousin say that?" ”

Jia Jiu replied, "Isn't it? What kind of character Sister Lin is, others don't know, but I do. My cousin is not a child after all. If there is really something, Sister Lin will come to talk to me in person, instead of calling Brother Lin to come over. So I guessed that my cousin should have come here without telling Sister Lin. I don't know if I'm right? ”

Lin Yu replied: "Since my cousin guessed so accurately, then my cousin can know." Why am I here today, my cousin? ”

Jia Jiu looked at the other party, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said, "Salt and fertilizer." ”

Lin Yu also put down the tea bowl. replied: "It seems that my cousin is also an understanding person, so I will say it directly cousin." Why did my cousin put our Lin family on such a dangerous cliff? ”

Jia Jiu looked at each other with a smile and said, "Why do you say that I put your Lin family in danger?" How do you know that I didn't put a great opportunity in front of your Lin family? ”

Lin Yu replied: "If my cousin spreads this salt and fertilizer to the whole world." Let everyone in the world come to get a piece of the pie, then the younger brother is naturally grateful to his cousin. But now. My cousin handed over this salt and fertilizer to our Lin family alone, and even my uncle didn't know about it. Although I am a child, I am also worried about the future of our Lin family. Guilty of it, isn't it? ”

Jia Jiu replied: "You can rest assured. Salt and fertilizer are such things. Although it works. However, the scale has not increased, and the unit cost is very high. In other words, there is no point in not having a big workshop and not making salt and fertilizer stronger and bigger. Harvesting 1,000 catties of rice requires 2,000 catties worth of money and grain. No one would do such a deal, would they? ”

Lin Yu replied, "Since my cousin knows so well. You should know that our Lin family's property. Now it is in the hands of my uncle, and in my sister's hands, there are just a few Zhuangzi. If you want to support this salt and fertilizer workshop, relying on a few Zhuangzi in my sister's hands, it is simply not enough. Even if we pressed all the money given by our father, it was not enough. Could it be that my cousin's purpose is actually to want to know how much money my father left us in the box? ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "It turns out that my aunt still has a hand behind his back?" Also, my aunt is a human being, and it is impossible not to leave a backhand. People are so distrustful, which shows how our family's reputation is. ”

Lin Yu said: "Cousin is not for this batch of silver?" ”

"Yes. I never knew that my aunt had left you another piece of money. ”

Lin Yu looked at Jia Jiu for a while, and said, "In this way, I believe in my cousin." Then cousin, do you know that the things you gave us are just to put all the money of our Lin family on it, and it is just to build a rough idea. Before the salt and fertilizer were raised, our family's money and food were thrown into the water in vain. If we get it up, our Lin family will become the target of the whole world. My cousin is such a smart person, she should know this, right? ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Indeed, this matter is my misconsideration. ”

Lin Yu said, "Huh? My cousin said so, but what happened? ”

Jia Jiu nodded and replied, "I heard that your family has already made a finished product, and the effect is not bad, but in terms of cost, it has cost dozens of times more money and food?" ”

Lin Yu said: "Cousin already knows? Is it my sister who sued my cousin? ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "Being able to stand in this world for thousands of years is never a fluke. It's not your sister who sued me, but I went to Yuqing Mountain a few days ago, and the teachers sued him. In addition, I believe that soon, the Confucian sect and those thousand-year-old families will get the news and focus on the salt and fertilizer process. ”

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "The secret of salt and fertilizer can't be kept?!" ”

Stunned and surprised, staggered on Lin Yu's face. His face turned pale and pale, and after a long while, he heard him speak: "Cousin, this full set of salt and fertilizer technology ......"

Jia Jiu replied, "Except for the ones handed over to your sister, only I have here." As he spoke, he gestured to his temples.

Lin Yu was silent for a while, and said, "So, what are the arrangements for my cousin?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "What do you think is the most appropriate arrangement?" ”

Lin Yu immediately replied, "Break it into pieces." ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "I think so too." I've been busy transcribing that material these days......"

Lin Yu immediately said, "Do you want me to help?" My sister can help too. ”

Jia Jiu turned his head, looked into his eyes, and replied, "Lin Yu, you sue me, what do you think of this salt and fertilizer process?" ”

Lin Yu replied: "Something that can affect the situation in the world." It can be said that whoever masters the salt and fertilizer process will master the money and grain of the world, and will also master the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Is that the only way? ”

Lin Yu said: "Isn't that so? ”

Jia Jiu replied: "You think too simply. Do you know that in the salt fertilizer process, a few things are taken out separately, which is an independent process. Lighter, thinner, and stronger armor can be made in less time, as well as sharper swords. Not to mention, in a short period of time, tens of thousands of bows and arrows can be made, and catapults with a throw distance of up to 300 zhang can be made. You don't need to get the whole salt and fertilizer process out, as long as a few things in it can change the pattern of the whole world. ”

Before Jia Jiu finished speaking, Lin Yu had already stood up suddenly: "What did you say?" You, you, you're not lying to me, are you? ”

Jia Jiu replied: "So, do you know that there is something hidden in the salt and fertilizer process, which can easily raze the entire Jingshi to the ground?" ”

Lin Yu was already stupid, he sat down in his position, and was stunned for a long time, and then said softly: "Cousin, since you said so, then, that set of salt and fertilizer process must not be so simple." Is that so? ”

Jia Jiu withdrew his gaze from looking at the roof and replied, "Yes." This set of technology, if it is only done for five years, is enough to change the general trend of the world, at least, such as the comparison of the strength of the five countries today, there will be earth-shaking changes. After ten years of good management, the people's way of life can be changed, and after thirty years of operation, I am afraid that the situation of the court and the family jointly governing the world will also change. ……”

Lin Yu interrupted Jia Jiu's words with a wry smile: "Cousin, you have set a big trap for us to jump on." ”

Jia Jiu replied: "But you can't jump if you don't jump." If you refuse salt fertilizer now, then the Lin family in the future will forever lose the opportunity to become a member of the top family. ”

Lin Yu's heart was beating.

Great opportunities were in front of him, waiting for his decision.

If you say that there is no obsession in your heart, it is false. Now he will not be rare to the millions of belongings of the Lin family, but as a man, it is not a small temptation to establish immortal deeds and establish his own big family.

Lin Yu admitted that he was moved.

sat there silently, and after a long while, I heard Lin Yu say, "Second sister, you still have unfinished words." ”

Jia Jiu nodded and said, "Yes." Income always comes with taxes. Since there are benefits, there are disadvantages. Sister Lin is a girl, and there are some things that he is destined to not be able to meddle in, but you ......"

Lin Yu said: "Second sister, have you been waiting for me to ask you?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "So to speak. ”

"I need to think about it."

"Yes." (To be continued......)
