Chapter 60: I'm so miserable

Jia Qiang looked at Xue Pan helplessly and said, "Brother Xue, you are ...... I bought a house at the market price of 4,000 taels, and you saw it with your own eyes, how did it become a gift to me? ”

Xue Pan also sensed that something was wrong, laughed dryly, and said: "I don't want to brag and brag for you, let people see your humanity, who knows that they actually think crookedly." ”

"Phew!"

Aunt Xue scolded: "It's only human nature that you should do this kind of thing!" ”

Xue Pan was not convinced: "Qi Guan was going to give the house to Brother Qiang'er, but Brother Qiang had to give silver, isn't it good human nature?" ”

Hearing this, everyone inside dispels their doubts......

As he was talking, he saw seven or eight mothers-in-law and girls carrying food boxes and slipping over to the verandah, the girls went into the house to set up dishes, and the mothers-in-law set up tables under the verandah.

After a period of tossing, after the mother-in-law left, Aunt Xue smiled inside: "It's all my own family, and I won't be outside the world when I come to my aunt." Eat and drink well, Brother Qiang, I won't greet you, you can use it yourself. ”

After Jia Qiang thanked him, he sat opposite Xue Pan, and when he saw that he was full of sake, he was not polite, and moved his chopsticks.

Xue Pan was not in a hurry to eat wine, seeing the sweetness of Jia Qiang's food, he also picked up his favorite food and picked up the food for a while, and after eating half full, he raised his glass and drank a few glasses with Jia Qiang, feeling very comfortable, and laughed: "It's better to have a good meal with my brother, if you share a table with my mother and sister, they will be verbose about our meal." ”

Jia Qiang: "......"

Is that the right thing to say here?

Aunt Xue laughed and scolded inside: "Brother Qiang'er's food is 10,000 times better than yours!" ”

Xue Pan laughed and said, "Mom, change Ming'er, you will say this after watching him eat!" ”

This remark evoked the infinite associations of everyone inside, they all knew that Jia Qiang was the best of the Jia family, more handsome and outstanding than Jia Rong, could it be that she was so unbearable when eating?

It's just that Jia Qiang ignored this stubble, and Xue Pan didn't want to say more, so he diverted the topic and asked Jia Qiang: "Good brother, four thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, although your economic livelihood is good, and now you are cooperating with the Huai'an Hou Mansion, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future, but where do you get these four thousand taels of silver now?" "He wanted to show his mouth in front of Aunt Xue, so that he could turn around and ask for silver.

Jia Qiang thought about it, didn't hide it, and said: "From the ancient books, in addition to searching for the secret recipe for meat skewers, there is another secret recipe, which is more than ten times more valuable than the former. ”

Xue Pan was very interested, and hurriedly asked, "What secret recipe?" What is it baked this time? ”

Jia Qiang smiled: "It's not food, it's a recipe for dyeing cloth." ”

"Dyeing cloth?!"

Xue Pan was surprised and asked, "The recipe for dyeing cloth?" ”

The Xue family, the imperial businessman, was responsible for weaving back then, how could Xue Pan not be surprised!

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Xue, I cooperated with the Jinsha Gang, and some of the raw materials I obtained were the raw materials I needed to prepare this dyeing recipe." I've been debugging for the past six and a half months. I tried it a few times in a row, and the effect was not bad. The cloth on the market today is dyed very well, but the color is not bright enough, blue, red, brown, official green, and the color I made according to the recipe, it looks black and black. By the way, the Xue family's imperial merchant was responsible for weaving a piece in Jiangnan, Brother Xue, your family has a history, you should know how much silver such a recipe can be worth. ”

The weaving he learned in his previous life, the original dyeing and weaving recipes of monochrome cloth, were all very basic but also very classic formulas, and he remembered at least seventeen or eighteen kinds.

And these seventeen or eighteen classic formulas can complement each other and match them with recipes that are almost the ultimate in all colors.

After Xue Pan heard this, his big eyes, which were already like bells, almost didn't pop out, and he said loudly: "Grandma! I won't change this recipe for a mountain of gold! Good brother, if you open a dyeing workshop, you can exchange it for a mountain of gold and a sea of silver with this recipe! ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled: "I'm not so greedy, there are eight major cloth shops in Shenjing City, and there are more than eight royal palaces standing behind them, and there are some invisible court ministers, imperial relatives and relatives, it is not surprising that a few scholars and military prime ministers of the current dynasty are involved." These cloth merchants spend a lot of money every year to make offerings to people, in order to prevent being copied from others. If I put up a banner in the cloth shop, the sea of those who have sinned will be gone. When your own strength is weak, you must control your greed. So, I can share the benefits and sell two squares first. This is the confidence that I want to buy Qiguan's house. ”

The people in the room were quiet, and they didn't know if they had listened to their hearts......

Xue Pan still felt a pity, and said: "Such a recipe, I won't change it for 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled: "There is only one color, or not so many." ”

Xue Pan asked strangely, "Why is there only one color?" ”

Jia Qiang explained: "Different colors require different recipes. And if you want to have a bright color, in addition to the secret ingredients in the recipe itself, there are also requirements for water temperature, and the difference is a thousand miles. Therefore, if you only have one recipe, you can only match one color at most. ”

Xue Pan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "After that, wouldn't we be able to make our own dyeing workshop and make a fortune?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled bitterly: "Brother Xue, if a recipe spreads, it is estimated that it will be difficult to keep the rest." But it doesn't matter, my generation is not a Penghao person, and my daughter will come back after being scattered. Right now, what I need is not a sea of gold and silver. ”

Monochrome cloth involves basic people's livelihood, and the interests involved in it are absolutely amazing.

After nearly a hundred years of development, Dayan arrived in the Long An Dynasty, and the interests of all parties were almost solidified.

Cloth, as the bulk of clothing, food, housing and transportation, is second only to the weight of food, and the distribution of benefits has long been determined.

If Jia Qiang wants to force it in with a few formulas, knock over the basic plate and eat alone, then not to mention that there is only a trace of his relationship with the Jia family, even if he is the inheritor of Rongguo Mansion, he can't afford to be suppressed from all directions.

Xue Pan sighed when he heard this, and said, "If I persuade you to leave the prescription and lend you the silver, you will not follow." You can't be said to be roundabout, but you are too high-minded. ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "The silver I want to use is more than the four thousand taels of Qi Guan's house." ”

Xue Pan laughed and said: "Yes, yes, yes, we still have to buy more official prostitutes from the Teaching Workshop Division to come out of the ......."

"Poof!"

There was more than one squirting sound inside.

"You damn scumbag!!"

Aunt Xue was obviously angry.

Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "Mrs. Aunt is angry, although we are not gentlemen, how can we do the things of beasts?" ”

After a pause, he listened to the quietness inside, he first glared at Xue Pan, and then explained: "Because the guild hall needs some maidservants, if you want to be literate and literate, it is best to know some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are all poor people whose families are ruined, and we can help some of them, but we will never force them to do those unsightly things, and please rest assured that my aunt will be able to do this. After all, there are not many people in the guild hall who are staring at us openly and secretly, but if there is the slightest chaos, I don't know how we will die. ”

Hearing him say this, Aunt Xue Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Amitabha, if you can do this, it is right." ”

Daiyu was surprised again: "Baoyu also said about this hall...... Isn't it just a naughty place for you? Why do you need to know how to read and ink even the girl who pours tea and water? ”

Jia Qiang was silent for a while, and sighed lightly: "I don't dare to deceive Aunt Lin, in addition to being stubborn with a few confidants, I also want to take this opportunity to invite some false names, to worship famous teachers, and ask for homework." At the moment, they are all relatives, and I don't shy away from talking. My father and mother went early, and a piece of furniture industry has long disappeared, so I can earn it myself. It's just that in my current situation, I have no father to worry about, no mother to rely on, and no adult in the family to call the shots. ”

This is not a little bit of water, Jia Qiang's qualifications, if you want to gain something on the road to study, you must find a master of science and industry to guide the article and tutor attentively.

In other words, the Hanlin Academy is the best choice, the older the better, and the more sophisticated the article.

Moreover, although most of the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy are from Sanding Jia Jinshi, and the Qing Gui is Qing Gui, but there is not much oil and water, and the poor Hanlin who can't afford to eat meat grabs a lot of them.

It seems to be very easy to find a famous teacher, but it is actually more difficult.

Because of the Hanlin who raised in the Hanlin Academy, all of them have the name of the prime minister, most of them are poor, but the more so, the more difficult it is to let go of their figures, because they are poor and only have their names left, who dares to surrender their status and go to be a Xixi seat for a few taels of gold and silver?

It is an ordinary jinshi, and there are few people who condescend to the noble.

Jia Yucun can be Mr. Xixi for Lin Daiyu, not only because he lacks silver, but because Lin Daiyu and her father are from Tanhualang, which does not disgrace Jia Yucun's identity as a jinshi.

If you change a rich man and give him one hundred taels of silver in a month, Jia Yucun will not agree, otherwise he will destroy his foundation, and he will not be able to raise his head in Shilin, and there will be no chance of recovery.

In addition, Jia Qiang won the praise of the Emperor Taishang for praising the Emperor, and in terms of Shilin Qingtan and others, he is no different from the minister of luck.

In this way, who would dare to accept him as a disciple?

So right now, Jia Qiang wants to find a famous teacher, but it is indeed difficult to climb to the sky.

Most of the girls in the window were sad about Jia Qiang's misery, especially the sentence "There is no father to be afraid of, and there is no mother to be ashamed of", which made people with hearts cry.

Because his body has always been sick and weak, he changed into a light cyan flowing cloud and a thin jacket in the autumn, and his eyes were lowered and tears were drooping.

Only Xue Pan stared at Jia Qiang opposite, always feeling that something was wrong.

Mixed with Jia Qiang's share, I want silver and silver, I want girls to have girls, I want brothers and friends, and I don't have a father and mother to be restrained, which is also miserable? !
