Chapter 15:89 No
Jia Baoyu has never had any concept of money, even if it is a down-and-out now, many things are actually in charge of Xia Jingui. Mrs. Jia Zhengwang is a sinner, and Jia Baoyu is impossible to participate in the imperial examination, and she is not familiar with agricultural affairs.
In other words, Jia Baoyu's only role at home today is the link with the Rongguo Marquis' Mansion.
Xia Jingui knew that it was because Jia Baoyu was Jia's mother's precious golden grandson, and because Jia Baoyu was Jia Yu's own nephew, that Jia Yu was willing to take care of him, and the Rongguo Marquis Mansion would accept him, and he would send gifts during the New Year's holidays. It is because of the existence of the Marquis of Rongguo Mansion that those ruffians and hooligans dare not trouble them, and their family can live a clean life.
Rao is Xia Jingui is sour and mean, but he quarreled with Xue Pan in the original book, in fact, it was just to monopolize this man, not to sweep Xue Pan out of the house. Although Jia Baoyu is not as good as others on the outside, he is also very good to Xia Jingui at home and in the inner house. Because Xia Jingui didn't like him to take a concubine, Jia Baoyu really didn't take a concubine, and only guarded Xia Jingui to live.
For Jia Baoyu's performance, Xia Jingui is also becoming more and more satisfied, naturally, there is a lot more smile on his face, and his temper is much gentler, unlike in the original book, a little thing will cause trouble.
Although Xia Jingui also knew very well that Jia's mother had a lot of dowry private rooms, but considering that Jia's mother was there, they were able to take the opportunity to visit Jia's mother to often go in and out of the Rongguohou Mansion, and only when Jia's mother was there, the Rongguohou Mansion would remember them. Therefore, Xia Jingui is very hopeful that Jia's mother can do well.
As for Lin Daiyu and others, for Xia Jingui. It's just a cousin of her husband's family who has never met. Although they are relatives, they haven't even met their husbands twice, so it can be seen that the relationship between the two families is average. Therefore, Tanchun was extremely shocked, but Xia Jingui was ordinary.
Xia Jingui also found out that something was wrong with Tanchun, and hurriedly smiled: "Cousin Lin's family was originally an official eunuch's house, and Aunt Lin was conscientious in his office. Now it's not strange to remember Cousin Lin's house. ”
The mandarin duck shook his head and said, "If only things were so simple." I heard that it was our girl who gave the Lin family a great credit. The Lin family was rewarded. ”
Xia Jingui was stunned for a moment and said, "Is that so?" ”
Mandarin duck said: "Our girls are often like this, but they don't care about the house, but they take care of the outside first. As a result, others soared. But what about this house? It's just a few things. It's also a shame that our lord loves him. The second grandfather and grandmother don't care. Changed to someone else's house......"
"Mandarin duck, what are you talking to your brother and sister?"
Mandarin Duck and Xia Jingui hurriedly turned their heads, just in time to see Shang holding his stomach and leading people to stand at the door.
That's right, Shang is pregnant again.
If it is someone else's family, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang is her own uncle and aunt, and as a nephew and daughter-in-law, the Shang family will definitely be filial piety for her uncle and aunt. But Jia Yu has already come out of the sect, and it is not nice to say. Even if you cherish the spring, you have to wear two days of vegetarian for Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, but the Shang family doesn't use it.
And. Shang is pregnant, and the happiest person is none other than Jia Yu. In Jia Yu's view, the daughter-in-law can give birth, which is a good thing. Therefore, since the Shang family and Jia Lian got married, Jia Yu has not let anyone go to Jia Lian's house once, nor has he asked the Shang family to arrange a room for Jia Lian, and even beat Jia Lian several times.
Jia Yu even said to Jia Lian like this: "For no reason, don't make trouble for your daughter-in-law." Your daughter-in-law is in charge of such a big family, and she has to serve you, which is already tiring enough, and you still find those unclean women to block him. If you really can't help it, I have money here, you can go outside and find the woman in the building. ”
But in fact, Jia Lian didn't dare to go to that kind of place even if he took the money. Because once he is caught from above, his official position will also come to an end.
is also because of Jia Yu's support and Jia Lian's tolerance, Shang's complexion is excellent. Shang's was already outstanding, but now he is even more radiant, making people unable to take their eyes off. Jia Baoyu was stunned the moment he saw Shang.
Xia Jingui was angry when she saw her husband's uncompetitive appearance. Fortunately, he also knew the identity of himself and the other party, so he hurriedly came over to greet his sister-in-law, and by the way, he blocked his husband's sight with his body.
Shang hurriedly returned half a salute to Xia Jingui, and then greeted Jia Baoyu, and then asked Mandarin Duck: "Can the old lady wake up?" ”
Mandarin duck said: "If you go back to ** milk, the old lady just took the medicine and fell asleep, and she hasn't woken up yet." ”
"But I didn't come at the right time."
The mandarin duck looked carefully at Shang's hand holding his belly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said, "**Milk, do you have it?" ”
Shang blushed and said, "Yes, I just found out yesterday that the imperial doctor was also diagnosed, so I came to tell the old lady." ”
The mandarin duck was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed: "Is it really diagnosed?" Amitabha! The old lady must have been glad to find out. ”
Shang's small life has always been very punctual, but this time it was suddenly postponed for more than ten days, and Shang knew it, but he didn't dare to say it at that time, for fear that people would say that he was frivolous, so he trembled when he gave birth to a son. Now that it has been more than two months, the doctor has also been diagnosed, and he dares to open this mouth.
Xia Jingui looked very hot.
When he and Jia Baoyu were newly married, there were a room of warblers and Yanyan in Jia Baoyu's house. finally waited for him to clear out the people around Jia Baoyu, but Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and Jia Yuanchun had accidents one after another, but now, the couple is still keeping filial piety for Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, where did they give birth to children?
Xia Jingui said: "That brother-in-law is here to congratulate my sister-in-law first, congratulations to my sister-in-law." I hope that my sister-in-law will have another nephew, and the good words will come in pairs. ”
Shang and Mandarin Duck both laughed: "Look at what my brother and sister (Bao ** milk) said, if you want a good word, you also want this belly is a daughter." ”
Xia Jingui listened, thought about it, and smiled: "Isn't it that I'm happy and confused." I mean, it's best to give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, a son and a daughter, isn't it a good word in pairs? ”
When Shang heard this, he smiled and smiled: "Then borrow the auspicious words of my brother and sister." ”
Tanchun said: "Yes." Lian's second sister-in-law is happy again, Sister Lin's family has also won the Jin Seal, and now Sister Lin is also a county monarch. The old lady was glad to know about it. ”
Shang didn't hear Tanchun's voice at first, and even when he heard Tanchun say this, he said: "Yes, it's not double happiness." ”
Xia Jingui then remembered Jia Jiu's glorious past, and also remembered the matter of Jia Qian's Jia Qing sisters, Tanchun is an unmarried girl's family, and many things are inconvenient to say. But Xia Jingui is the daughter-in-law of the family, and there are some things that it is difficult to talk about the spring. Xia Jingui can speak. Moreover, although he knew that there was little hope, Xia Jingui still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that such good luck would come to his head. I also hope that Jia Jiu can think of their poor relatives.
Xia Jingui said: "Second sister-in-law." Don't laugh at it, in fact, when I heard about the Lin family, I also muttered. What the hell is going on, even the girl Cousin Lin and the two dolls below who are not too big or small have been rewarded, but the uncle of the Lin family has not moved at all. This matter has been in my heart for a few days, and it is like kicking a milk cat, and my heart is itching. Good sister-in-law, can you tell me about it? What the hell is the reason? ”
When Tanchun heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears.
Shang thought for a moment. "Yes, you will know after all." Just when preparing for the provincial villa, this salt fertilizer, that is, chemical fertilizer, is also in full swing. It's just that this thing is extremely expensive, and the manpower and material resources required are unknown, and how long it will take to see results, these are all unknown. Therefore, there were only a few people who knew about it at that time. Even my sister said that it was a blessing to see the results in seven years. ”
Tanchun suddenly said: "This salt fertilizer, I think the second sister made it, and deliberately gave it to the Lin family, right?" ”
Shang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "My sister made it." Those materials were painstakingly collected by my sister; Every process in it has also been repeatedly scrutinized by my sister; The last document was also put together by my sister. It's just that our family didn't have any money at that time, or rather, we were too eye-catching at that time, and if we put this at home, it would only bring more trouble to the family. It's also thanks to Sister Lin and Brother Lin, even if they know that these things are likely to be on paper, even if they know that these things are likely to be ineffective for more than ten years, even if they know that these things are likely to cause trouble in the end, they still agreed, and invested no less than 400,000 taels of silver every year, just to get this salt fertilizer. ”
Xia Jingui was taken aback: "No less than 400,000 yuan a year, seven years, isn't that equivalent to nearly three million taels of silver?" ”
Shang said: "Not really. For the sake of these salt fertilizers, the Lin family gambled on all their family resources. Fortunately, God was pitiful, and before the Lin family was completely squeezed dry, he saw the results. ”
Tanchun said: "How is it possible. Since the thing was given to the Lin family by the second sister, the second sister will definitely find a way to subsidize the Lin family. At the beginning, for the sake of the Grand View Garden, the second sister could casually throw out tens of millions of taels of silver, what is this 400,000 taels of silver a year? ”
Shang said: "Actually, in terms of money, my sister didn't help the Lin family much. After all, the matter was started by my sister, so my sister not only smashed all the money she got from the Zhuangzi in the north, but also used the power of the Daomen to invest the resources of the Daomen Golden Clothes Daozi lineage that she could embezzle. My sister has never said it, but according to what your second brother Lian heard, the financial, material and manpower that my sister spent on this salt and fertilizer is even more incalculable. ”
Xia Jingui couldn't help but say, "How many are there?" ”
Shang said: "About one or two million a year." ”
Tanchun said: "How is it possible? If there are one or two million, it will be enough to build another Grand View Garden. ”
Shang nodded and said, "Yes." However, I heard that there are countless processes in salt and fertilizer, and there are thousands of various workshops that need to be established alone, and these workshops must have a certain scale to be able to see the results. For the sake of these workshops, my sister dug the corner of the Daomen and poached many capable people from the Daomen. ”
Tanchun said: "That door can endure it?" ”
Shang said: "Therefore, in the end, my sister was only promoted to the throne by herself, and those who originally belonged to my sister were in the hands of Daomen." ”
What a smart person Shang is, Tanchun wants to sow discord, at the beginning, Shang really didn't hear it, but at this point, how did Shang not know?
The Shang family also knew very well that it had not been long since the Lin family sisters and brothers moved out of this Rongguo Hou Mansion, and even because the two sons of the Lin family had not yet reached the age of fifteen, many of the Lin family's belongings were still sealed in the treasury of the Rongguo Hou Mansion. And the annual income brought by the Lin family's industry is also public. In other words, if the Lin family gives out 400,000 taels of silver every year, and there is no money from the Jia family in these 400,000 taels of silver, the Shang family does not believe it as much as Tanchun.
However, Shang is not the kind of person who is shallow-eyed.
Before Shang entered the door, he carefully probed the details of his mother-in-law's house. He knew very well that if it weren't for this sister-in-law, he was afraid that his father-in-law and husband would become fish and meat on the board for others to slaughter, and it was this sister-in-law who allowed Daqi to win the battle of An Yuanwei. Just for these two points, this is one or two hundred thousand taels of silver per year, and the Shang family is willing.
Moreover, the future of men always depends on men to fight for themselves, and it is not a way to always rely on women.
The Shang family knew very well that so far, most of the glory of the Rongguo Marquis Mansion was actually earned by Jia Jiu. Actually, this is not advisable. If it was in the past, the Shang family would not be able to say anything, but now, the three eye-catching things of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and Jia Yuanchun are gone, and Jia's mother is also sick, it can be said that Jia Lian is already on a smooth road in front of him, if Jia Lian can't learn to rely on himself, then the Shang family will be angry and look down on her husband.
It's just that this kind of thought, the Shang family will not tell Jia Baoyu, Xia Jingui and Tanchun.
Tanchun originally wanted to provoke, but he didn't want to be blocked by the Shang clan first, so he couldn't help but be a little ridiculous.
Tanchun knew that Shang had seen his careful thoughts.
Tanchun only cared about keeping an eye on Shang, but he didn't want his sister-in-law to be watching him.
In Xia Jingui's impression, this sister-in-law has always been shrewd, but she didn't expect that the other party would be so conspicuous, because she wanted to stumble on her cousin, she actually dragged her sister-in-law into the water.
Xia Jingui didn't want to offend either Jia Jiu and the Shang family. After all, he is just a woman who married in from outside, and he doesn't have much friendship with the Shang family and Jia Jiu, and now he needs to be baconned by others, so how dare he offend people? Therefore, Xia Jingui, who understood it, felt a little disgusted with Tanchun.
However, Xia Jingui also knew that now was not the time to settle accounts with Tanchun, now, they were in the Rongguo Marquis Mansion, and everything should be done to please the Rongguo Marquis Mansion first, and other things could also be talked about after they went back. (To be continued......)
