Chapter 180: Fate

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

A stack of silver tickets was divided into two stacks and placed on the table in the main hall of Daiyu Temple.

The corners of Jia Qiang's mouth hung with a casual arc, and she raised her eyebrows and said to Daiyu and a few girls beside her: "Dot, see if it's 50,000 taels of silver?" I have said that if you do not believe, the silver and gold are like clouds to me. ”

Daiyu pursed her lips, her beautiful starry eyes narrowed slightly, looking at someone with a smile instead of a smile, and quietly watching him play tricks......

However, she can hold it steady, but the three girls around her, Zijuan, Snow Goose and Xiangling, can't hold it down.

Daiyu is a fairy-like character in the Moon Palace, she can settle the accounts, but she doesn't care about gold and silver, but the three of them are from maids, how can they treat gold and silver as dung?

It's Xiangling, and they all know that silver money is a good thing.

The three of them looked at the silver ticket over and over again, Xiangling was literate, Zijuan and Xueyan were illiterate, and they had also learned some writing and ink after following Daiyu for a few years.

Therefore, they all know the three thick characters of "one thousand taels" on the big dragon silver ticket.

Fifty of them, counting and counting, it seems that they have to count the flowers.

Daiyu ignored it, only looked at Jia Qiang, and didn't even speak, just waiting for someone's own obedient explanation.

Jia Qiang thought it was interesting, but she was not in a hurry to explain.

With the blue and white yellow pottery cup, he sipped the tea one by one, while enjoying a bluestone inkstone on Daiyu's desk.

He was not in a hurry, and Daiyu was also reluctant, but some people couldn't help it.

Zijuan endured and endured, but still couldn't bear it, and asked Jia Qiang: "Second Master Xiaoqiang, these ...... What the hell is all this...... I mean......"

Jia Qiang sighed, looked at Zijuan playfully, and said, "What, do you still suspect that I am a poor bastard?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zijuan's pretty face turned red to the extreme in an instant, almost turning purple.

This appearance frightened everyone, and after Daiyu glanced at Jia Qiang, she hurriedly persuaded: "Your second master is laughing with you, why are you crying?" ”

Jia Qiang also said helplessly: "Laugh a few words, what should you be serious?" If I really have a real relationship with you, will I laugh with you? Besides, you don't have any selfish intentions, it's all for Aunt Lin's sake, although it's not necessary. ”

Zijuan was ashamed and didn't dare to look up, and after Daiyu glanced at Jia Qiang, she changed the topic and asked, "Tell me, why did people give you so much silver?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled and explained the matter roughly.

After a pillar of incense, not to mention Daiyu and the others, even Zijuan also looked at Jia Qiang dumbfounded, like looking at a demon.

Daiyu Xing's eyes flickered, and she looked at Jia Qiang and pursed her lips and said, "You actually learn Zhuge Kongming and use clever tricks?" ”

Jia Qiang's face was expressionless, and she said lightly: "How is this plan used?" ”

"Phew! Less spirited! ”

Daiyu couldn't help but smile, she really felt wonderful in her heart, but she didn't want this person to be satisfied.

Daiyu asked again, "Is this enough silver for you?" ”

Jia Qiang raised her head and calculated, but still shook her head and said, "Where is this bit of silver?" I plan to buy a small island outside Yangzhou and build a workshop. Gather more craftsmen, blacksmiths, carpenters, and masons. In addition, the bookstore can't be delayed any longer, and there is a tea shop, tavern, theater, ......"

Xue Yan laughed on the side and said: "God, Second Master Qiang, you make a method like this, don't say 50,000 taels of silver, it's not enough to give you a gold mountain!" ”

Jia Qiang sighed, exhaled softly, and said, "Jinshan is not worth anything...... And don't be in a hurry, slowly figure it out. ”

Daiyu reminded: "It's too late, it's almost done...... You're not going to school anymore? ”

Jia Qiang smiled, looked at her sideways, and laughed softly: "That's why I chose to cooperate with others, I'll start up, and they will do the rest." ”

Zijuan finally dared to speak, and whispered: "Second Master Qiang is not afraid of being cheated?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Friendship with people is a sincere word." I don't bear anyone, why should people bear me? ”

Zijuan was stunned, is the outside world already so beautiful?

Daiyu laughed and said, "Phew! Nonsense again! The businessmen are the best at hiding traitors. If it is really as you said, why don't you go with the people of the Dongsheng Zhao family in the same sincere word? ”

Zijuan was in a daze, and when she understood that she was teased by Jia Qiang again, she glanced at him angrily.

Jia Qiang didn't care either, and said with a smile: "So hurry up and buy an island, the workshop is located on it, and the important secret materials are also placed on it, unless the dough is completely torn, it is foolproof." ”

Daiyu heard what he said a little terrifying, and asked softly: "What if someone really covets it and tears the skin?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I have Aunt Lin and my aunt and grandfather to protect me, who would dare?" ”

Daiyu said angrily: "You can do this, calculate this and defeat that, and still need my father to protect you?" ”

Jia Qiang snorted and laughed: "When it's time to hug your thighs, you still have to hug them." But I'm not going to hold ...... in vain."

Daiyu squinted at it and sneered, "What do you want?" ”

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "What else? When I quarreled with Aunt Lin in the future, I consciously retreated, and let me beat and scold, and I kicked and scolded. If someone bullies Aunt Lin, then I will ...... beat him, scold him, kick him, and spit on him, and never spare him. ”

This witty remark made several girls laugh, and after Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, she shook the Jinpa in her hand and threatened: "You still want to quarrel with me?" Watch your skin! After that, he smiled again.

was miserable and miserable to return to Yangzhou in despair, not only did she not want her father to be fine, but also untied the knot in her heart for many years.

In addition, half a year later, her father will return to Beijing to serve as a Beijing official, and even if she still lives in Rongguo Mansion in the future, it will not be considered a send-off.

If you feel uncomfortable, you can go straight home without worrying about being teased......

As a result, her mood is getting better day by day......

Jia Qiang looked at Daiyu with a smile like a flower, and she was also infinitely emotional, and she didn't know if the fate of this Aunt Lin had really changed.

If Lin Ruhai's body can be raised properly, then it's okay, no matter what, he can have a life of one or two decades, which is enough.

I'm afraid that after returning to Beijing, the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the Longan cadres who are interested in the new policy have been demoted out of Beijing one after another, only one Lin Ruhai, and its situation is difficult, which is self-evident.

When the time comes, all kinds of heavy burdens will be on his shoulders, and there will be endless bright and dark arrows, even an iron man will not be able to stand it, not to mention Lin Ruhai's already thin and sickly body?

If so, Lin Ruhai died prematurely......

Thinking of this, Jia Qiang's eyes deepened a little, no matter what, with the Lin family's father and daughter's heart to protect him, he would not let Daiyu repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

……

Yangzhou Xicheng, Qi Garden.

Jia Qiang was in the yamen of the Yanyuan Courtyard and saw a few bunches of green bamboos and a few white walls and ink tiles, and felt that she had appreciated the interest of Jiangnan.

Then if he enters Qi Garden, I'm afraid he will really forget to return.

Mountains, waters, lakes, stones, grasses, woods, pavilions, pavilions, every place, can not talk about luxury, but every place, all have to be full of natural beauty, without any suspicion of carving.

On the Qi family's Baicao Hall, Qi Taizhong, a legendary salt merchant, sat on a rattan chair with a calm face.

Watch the weeping willows in the bleak and cold wind......

He has white hair, but he doesn't look old, and his eyes are as calm as rivers, seas and lakes.

Around the rattan chair, Qi Wannian, the head of the Qi family, Qi Wanhai, the second son, Qi Wanben, the third son, the eldest grandson Qi Yun, Sun Qidi, Sun Qizhu and other adult sons-in-law and grandsons respectfully served.

The youngest grandson, Qi Fu, knelt on the ground dejectedly, not daring to breathe.

Qi Wannian bowed down and said softly: "Father, it has been found out that it was Brother Fu who was instigated by Qi Heng of the old five families, and asked him to go to the Pearl Pavilion......"

The fifth brother in his mouth is his cousin.

The Qi family attaches great importance to the distinction between the concubines, and the concubines are qualified to talk about the "word" ranking, and the concubines are not even qualified to name after the "character".

For example, for grandchildren, Qi Yun, Qi Di, Qi Fu, etc. are the "bamboo" characters, while Qi Heng and Qi Yan do not have this qualification.

In the family genealogy, all the books are sub-registered......

Naturally, the children and grandchildren of the concubine will not be reconciled, so the secret struggle has never stopped for a moment.

Qi Taizhong doesn't care about these, his lineage has already taken the advantage, if he still needs to come out to suppress the family, then there is no need for the Qi family to exist.

He waved his hand slightly, unwilling to listen to Qi Wannian's words, but asked, "Yun'er, tell your father and them about your conspiracy with that Jia Liangchen and the Xu family, as well as what Jia Liangchen suggested to you." ”

Qi Yun's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he stepped forward and bowed down and responded, "Yes." ”

Subsequently, he told what he had discussed with Jia Qiang and Xu Zhen last night.

After hearing this, the three Qi Wannian brothers all frowned in unison.

Of course, the Qi family is not only in the salt industry, but also in restaurants, tea shops, cloth villages, and tea gardens......

All the businesses that make money, the Qi family is more or less involved.

However, the Qi family has never been a small proprietor with less than 50% of the shares.

Not to mention, the Qi family has to be connected and shopped......

After Qi Yun finished speaking, Qi Taizhong asked, "What do you think?" ”

After Qi Wannian and the two brothers glanced at each other, they thought for a while, and said slowly: "It's not worth it." Although it seems that Han Bin and Lin Ruhai are rampant in Jiangnan, they are now in the position of losers in the DPRK. Even if Han Bin can return to the court in three or five years, the situation waiting for him is still extremely difficult. Lin Ruhai, a half-dead person, not to mention it, is difficult to say whether he can live for another three years. ”

Qi Taizhong said noncommittally and asked, "Yun'er, what do you say?" ”

Qi Yun didn't dare to look at Qi Wannian's slightly gloomy face, and replied: "Ancestor, grandson thinks that although my father said it very much, there is one thing that should also be paid attention to. ”

Qi Wannian frowned and said, "Which point?" ”

Qi Yun said: "That is the determination of today's son to reform the big policy!" ”

Qi Wannian shouted: "With the Emperor Tai here, what kind of major policy does the Son of Heaven innovate?" ”

Qi Yun lowered his eyes and said slowly: "After all, the Emperor Taishang is already high in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the dragon body has never been good. The reason why there was such a big storm this time was just to seek a posthumous name? This matter was conceded by the Son of Heaven, and Han Bin and other ministers were deposed from Beijing. After that, the Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven, and in three or five years, what should come will eventually come. With the reliance and determination of the Son of Heaven, the hope of the mid-mountain public to bear the world's expectations, and the assistance of capable ministers such as Lin Ruhai, Li Han, Zhang Gu, Dou Xian, and Zuo Xiang, the new policy may go through difficulties, but it is bound to be great in the world. Yanzheng should be one of them, and will even bear the brunt. So I think that at this time, if we can get in touch with that side in advance, it will always be a way out. ”

When the three brothers Qi Wannian heard this, their faces were a little complicated.

They watched Qi Yun grow up little by little, and they also knew that he was getting better and better, and he was known as the first son of Yangzhou Mansion.

But I still didn't expect him to have such vision.

In comparison, the other juniors are particularly bleak......

Qi Taizhong's eyes also obviously showed a hint of satisfaction, turned his head, glanced at the eldest grandson he had raised single-handedly, and said with a faint smile: "Since you think so, then do it like this, just make a small living...... By the way, there's a chance, take that kid home, and I'd like to meet him. ”

As soon as these words came out, the Qi family was all shocked.

Before the emperor's last southern tour, Gainqi Taizhong had rarely seen outsiders.

After the Emperor Taishang toured Yangzhou for the last time, the old lady of the Qi family never saw any foreign guests again......
