After leaving the guest house, Jia Qiang sent someone to invite the imperial doctor who was still in the yamen of the Yanyuan and had not returned to Beijing.

Because of his generosity and generous silver envelope, the two imperial doctors also gave him more face, and generally would not refuse him.

After sending someone to invite, Jia Qiang did not stay here for long, but went to meet Chen Rong, the servant of the Yamen of the Salt Academy.

After the two discussed for an hour, Jia Qiang left and returned to the inner house.

"Yikes! Lord is back! ”

Hearing the footsteps, Xiangling looked back and saw that it was Jia Qiang coming in, and shouted happily.

Jia Qiang's gaze paused at the seductive arc of her body, looked at her and smiled, "Why are you washing clothes again?" Wouldn't it be nice to leave it to Mama Huanxi to wash? ”

Xiangling is delicate and pretty, her eyes are innocent, and she said with a smile: "It's the little clothes inside, there are masters, there are sister Xiaojing, and mine!" After the heating was installed in the house, the laundry in the winter was not offended at all, and even the smoke cage and the soup woman were not needed. ”

In this era, the ordinary people of Yangzhou are filled with wheat bran in copper basins, half burned and half non-burning, and let it be soaked after covering the lid to keep warm, of course, it will not be much warm.

Wealthy families use smoke cages and soup pots, which are naturally easy to understand, and are no different from hot water bottles.

As for the smoke cage, it is a flat cage with incense that can hold silver frost charcoal, and it is fragrant and warm when lit.

However, the cost is too high, and it is not as good as the constant temperature of the heating.

Jia Qiang nodded and asked, "Is your mother okay?" ”

Xiangling pouted, but then smiled again: "Although he is sick, but Lang Zhong said after seeing it, it is a good thing, the evil and depressed in the stomach are dispersed, and it will be good in the future." Thanks to Miss Lin's help, Miss Lin is so nice, let Mother Wu help me...... Is he going to change his clothes when he comes back? Hey, you want to wear this? ”

Seeing Jia Qiang come out with the snow fox trimmed blue and red twisted gold lynx skin crane brought from the capital, Xiangling asked in surprise.

This big room was originally given by Wang Xifeng when he wanted to bribe him to get the secret recipe for barbecue from him.

The secret recipe is naturally no secret recipe, but with the strong temperament of the phoenix girl, there is naturally no reason to take it back.

This luxurious mansion was originally prepared by her for her younger brother Wang Ren, and it was very luxurious.

fell into Jia Qiang's hands, he didn't plan to wear it, but there was a major event tonight, and he had to wear it.

Xiangling hurriedly wiped her hands, helped Jia Qiang put on a big hat, tied the brocade belt, and after she was properly dressed, she looked at it again, and the whole person was stunned, and laughed quietly: "Master, you are so handsome......"

As the saying goes: people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold.

In the past, Jia Qiang was dressed plainly, often wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt, and at most changing to a light cyan.

It's not that it's not good-looking, it's just that wearing it like this can better reflect Jia Qiang's temperament.

And the current body, gorgeous and luxurious, with bright colors, can better reflect Jia Qiang's romantic beauty.

Seeing Xiangling looking at him stupidly, Jia Qiang chuckled and said, "Come back to you tonight, treat you." ”

"Oops!"

Although there were only two people in the room, Xiangling suddenly heard the words of the tiger and wolf, and her face was still ashamed.

In the innocent apricot eyes, there is more charm that only female drivers have.

I'm about to be taught......

There is a cinnabar mole in the center of the eyebrows, and the corners of the mouth are shy and angry, but they are well-behaved and do not refuse.

Jia Qiang decided to go out to do business first, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get out today......

It's not that he's lustful, it's just that Xiangling is too well-behaved......

……

"Brother Qiang? You're standing! ”

As soon as she came out of Zhonglin Hall, Jia Qiang was about to go out to run errands, but before she walked out of the verandah, she heard a cheer from behind.

When he looked back, he saw Daiyu standing under the foyer of Zhonglin Hall not far away, looking at him with a light smile.

It's also a coincidence, today Jia Qiang just put on a new fur coat, and I don't want Daiyu to wear new clothes today.

I saw that she was wearing a silver fox light red feather veil with a thin face, inside was a moon satin embroidered magnolia flying butterfly robe, and a jeweled gilt jasper hairpin between the flowing clouds and sideburns.

It seems that the fairy of the Moon Palace has fallen into the dust, and the starry eyes are affectionate, beautiful and moving, how can they be seen in the world?

Seeing Jia Qiang walking slowly, Daiyu's eyes also flashed.

When she first met Jia Qiang, Jia Qiang had already left Ningfu, and although she also lost a lot of net worth, her food and clothing could not be compared with Jia Baoyu or even Jia Huan and Jia Lan.

It's not that he can't afford it, it's that he hasn't thought about spending the silver on food and clothing.

Therefore, Jia Qiang's image in Daiyu's eyes has always been a scholar.

However, now, Jia Qiang is wearing the snow fox trimmed blue and red twisted gold lynx skin crane crane, her body is slender and straight, her eyes are like a star, her face is like a crown of jade, and she has a bookish air between her eyebrows and eyes, but the whole person is like the rising sun in the east, full of vitality.

Both civil and military!

Isn't it the best son-in-law mold in the heart of the boudoir girl......

Jia Qiang walked from under the verandah, and after the two looked at each other for a while, Daiyu laughed softly: "Why didn't I see you through this body before?" ”

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "The second aunt gave it before I came, let me let Lian Er have some trouble." I don't like to wear it on weekdays, it's too heavy. Isn't it getting cold now, so find out to cover the cold? ”

Daiyu smiled when she heard this, and said, "Brother Qiang, you are making a ghost in front of me again." Do you believe in you? ”

She can also figure out some of Jia Qiang's temperament, and she is the most impatient to wear such luxurious clothes, in his words, the same as Hua Jinji.

How has this changed? Something must have happened.

Jia Qiang smiled and didn't say anything, Daiyu didn't look at him angrily, but didn't delve into it, but said: "I heard Xiangling say, these days, you go out early and return late, and you come back in the middle of the night when it's almost dawn?" ”

I didn't ask anything, but I didn't leave it.

Jia Qiang smiled: "Thank you Aunt Lin for your concern, I will definitely go home on time in the future." ”

"That's it?"

Daiyu frowned, obviously not very satisfied.

It's not that she's eventful, and she's not an eventful person.

It's just that in her growing environment, even if she is favored at home like Jia Baoyu, she will never dare not go home at night.

And Na Jia Lian, unless he went out on business, it was impossible.

Because of the serious son-in-law, there are people who go out to socialize, but if you want to sleep outside and sleep in the willows, when there are no rules at home?

How can there be such arbitrariness......

Jia Lian is now on a business trip in Yangzhou Mansion and is an adult, since Jia Qiang learned about the virtue of the cadres of Jiafu, Lin Ruhai has no energy and no heart to pay attention to it.

Daiyu is naturally even more difficult to say......

But Jia Qiang is different, aside from his relatives, he is still Lin Ruhai's disciple.

With this, Daiyu should also be vigilant and warn him, and he is not allowed to go down the wrong path.

Jia Qiang looked at her dissatisfied eyes, and knew this, and after thinking about it, she said with a smile: "Aunt Lin, these days are busy, and she is doing serious things." ”

Daiyu is also serious: "You said that gold and silver are just for use, but you can't be greedy." Otherwise, it would not be man who makes silver and gold, but man who becomes a puppet of silver and gold. Can't you remember any of this? ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, seeing that she remembered everything he had said, a warm color flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "I'm helping my aunt and grandfather to do things, he is not in good health, if he is forced to support his sick body to do business, his body and bones will not be able to endure it." I'm still young, so it's okay to stay up all night. ”

When Daiyu heard this, she was moved, and looked at Jia Qiang, who was one step away from her.

He......

But I didn't want Jia Qiang to suddenly smile proudly: "Don't be too moved, my uncle is not only your father, but also my husband." After returning to Beijing, I still hope to hug his old man's thighs and cool off under his old man's big tree. How could you bear to let him burn his bones in the small Yangzhou Mansion? ”

Daiyu came back to her senses, and when she heard him say this, she snorted coldly angrily, but this cold snort couldn't be cold.

The sound is like a golden bead falling on a jade plate, but it can't hide the lingering emotion in the tone.

Her life experience made her particularly moved by Jia Qiang's actions.

Daiyu is actually the same as Wang Xifeng, she was raised under her knees by her father and mother as a boy when she was a child.

It's just that judging from the results, Sister Feng is an extensive free-range breeder, so she hasn't even read a book.

Daiyu was different, she was a little older, so she invited Kejia Jinshi as the enlightenment Xixi.

In a Red Mansion, there is only one man who hates to be born as a daughter, and that is Jia Baoyu.

There are many who hate not being able to produce men.

Tanchun can't wait to be born as a man, so that he can sweep away the Jia family and revitalize the country.

Wang Xifeng hated not being born a man because she wanted to taste the taste of power.

And in Daiyu's heart, why don't you want to be the pillar of the family, share worries for her father, and inherit incense for the Lin family?

It's just that no matter how much she thinks about it, what can she do with her daughter's body?

Unexpectedly, what she couldn't do, now Jia Qiang has done it for her.

not only saved her father's life, but also worked hard for her father and honored him.

How could this not move her so much?

Seeing that Daiyu's eyes were about to melt, Jia Qiang couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a dry smile: "Aunt Lin still has something to do with her aunt and grandfather?" Then go quickly, my aunt and grandfather are inside, don't let his old man wait. ”

“……”

When Daiyu heard this, after sneering, she glanced at him and said, "I want you to be verbose!" ”

However, there is no more to say.

After glancing at a certain boring fool again, he turned around and entered Zhonglin Hall.

After seeing her enter the house, Jia Qiang smiled and turned to leave.

At this time, the sun has set in the west, and it is not too early, and he still has important things to do.

……

Qi Garden.

Cottage.

If Jia Qiang re-enters this garden and enters this thatched hall at this moment, she will have to drop her jaw in shock.

Although Jia Qiang did not deliberately tell the craftsmen to keep it secret, these days, the craftsmen have been working in the Yamen of the Salt Courtyard to install it, and few people have gone out.

But even so, the Qi family's thatched cottage still used heating, no later than the Yanyuan Yamen.

What's even more bizarre is that on the windows on all sides of the thatched cottage, the curtains and window paper have been removed, and they have been replaced with transparent glass......

Although Dayan Internal Affairs also produces glass, it has never been pure and transparent, so today's glass is mostly imported by the West, and the price is higher than gold.

At least, the Jia family's two national mansions have not yet been used.

But the Qi family has already taken a few steps ahead......

Yangzhou Mansion is the Yangzhou Mansion of the Qi family, which can be seen.

In the warm grass hall, Qi Taizhong leaned on the rattan chair, looked at the sunset outside the window, and chuckled.

Although there was not the slightest contempt in the laughter, it was very unpleasant to fall on the ears of Qi Wannian, who was standing aside.

Qi Taizhong didn't look at his good-looking eldest son, sighed in his heart, and asked, "Haven't you figured it out yet?" ”

Qi Wannian said in a deep voice: "Father, you have taught me all the year round, we Hui merchants have had ancestral teachings since ancient times. Whenever you do business, you must not disobey it. Why are you ......?"

Qi Taizhong was noncommittal and asked, "I'm old, I can't remember it clearly." Tell me, what are the ancestral teachings of the Hui merchants......"

After Qi Wannian frowned, he said in a deep voice: "There are nine ancestral teachings of Hui Shang, which are said: Si Shang, do not take profit as profit, but take sincerity as profit; Si Ye is not rich and noble, but harmonious and precious; Si buy, not to reduce the price for the price, to balance for the price; Selling, not to win by earning, to win by letter; Si goods, not odd goods for goods, to demand for goods; Si Cai, not to collect wealth for wealth, to be wealth; Snow, not to answer as an answer, to answer with truth; Loans, not to make a loan, to take righteousness as a loan; Sidian, not to the idea of love, to the thought of righteousness.

Father, the first two of the ancestors' teachings warned me not to take profit as profit, but to take sincerity as profit. Don't take wealth as precious, but harmony as precious! The Bai family has always been respectful to our family, why can't they be honest and harmonious with his family? ”

Qi Wannian didn't know until this moment that he called him here last night and talked with the Qi family and Jia Qiang for half a night to gather on Fengdao, but it was just to hide people's eyes!

He originally thought that it was his son Qi Yun who instigated his father Qi Taizhong and wanted to leave an extra way out for the Qi family through Jia Qiang.

Unexpectedly, the purpose was to temporarily appease the Bai family and hide it from the Bai family!

He is the head of the family, and he has actually become a prop to hide people's eyes!

Qi Taizhong heard the anger of his eldest son, he turned his head slightly, looked at Qi Wannian with anger on his face, and asked lightly: "Your brain, your scheming and the city government are all confused by the fox of the Bai family?" The nine disciplines of Hui businessmen are the means of business, not the foundation of the world! It's such a stupid thing, even a well-kept patriarch can't do it. Kneel at the door, and I will not call you to get up, and you will not be allowed to get up. ”

If it is a stable year, a person with mediocre talents like Qi Wannian may be able to be a conservative person.

But at the time of this great innovation unseen in a century, Qi Taizhong personally took the helm, and he felt that the water was turbulent and turbulent, and the slightest carelessness would be the worry of overturning.

At this time, a foolish lord like Qi Wannian, who has a good skin, is not suitable for the Qi family.

The head of the Qi family doesn't have to be too smart, he doesn't have to be decisive, but he must understand the situation.

If you can't do this, the Qi family will be ruined by its hands!
