Hearing that Lin Ruhai suddenly asked like this, Jia Qiang was stunned, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Daiyu looked at him suspiciously, in her impression, Jia Qiang seemed to have been busy making money, how could she be silver?

Aunt Mei said with a strange face: "Didn't you really run out of money, so you sent cheaper gifts to the Yin family?" ”

Jia Qiang glanced at Aunt Mei speechlessly, and said, "Where does Auntie want to go, no matter what, it won't come to this point." Just ......"

He looked at Lin Ruhai and said: "The death of the Emperor Taishang, Wanxianglou's business has plummeted, and he has to continue to support the wages or something, plus the guild hall has also stopped, the barbecue stall erected by the Jinsha Gang has also stopped, and the opera club has also been suspended, so the expenditure during this period is indeed very large." Still, it's nothing, I'll figure it out. ”

When Daiyu heard this, she became worried.

Lin Ruhai smiled and asked, "What do you think?" Could it really be that a stone can be turned into gold? ”

Jia Qiang hesitated and said, "I plan to go to the Yin family, talk to the girl of the Yin family, first use some of the family wealth of the Guogong Mansion, and then make up for it later." Although it was promised at the beginning, all the family wealth left by the Guogong Mansion belonged to the big house. But I am also the owner of the big house, and there is no reason why I can't touch the wealth of the big house, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Daiyu couldn't help but snort at first.

Naturally, it was not because Jia Qiang put all the family business of the Guogong Mansion under the name of the big house, but because he was annoyed that he was short of money, he would rather talk to Yin Ziyu, but not to her.

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "But take it to turn around, and after the national funeral, the silver will be handed back, and then it will be returned." Besides, it's mine, too, isn't it? ”

Daiyu was still angry and ignored him.

Lin Ruhai stood on his daughter's side this time and said to Jia Qiang: "It stands to reason that what you say is reasonable." If the girl in the Yin family is just her and the relationship is simple, it is understandable for you to do this. However, Qiang'er, you have to understand that the relationship behind her is too complicated. The Yin family is about to be of great use when he sees it, and his family was not obvious before, but now the emperor is short of people, and the Yin family is regarded as a credible and usable person by the emperor. Yin Chu, Yin Chao and several adult children of the Yin family are all rare talents. After staying up below for so long, after two or three years of hard work, they are bound to rise one after another. Although the queen is pressing, it may not be able to be pressed for a long time. At this time, what you have to do should not be simply considered a family matter. Moreover, you promised others that the wealth of the big house will be disposed of by the big house in the future. Isn't it a breach of trust if something happens at this time? ”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "What Mr. said is reasonable, it's really ...... Unexpectedly. Forget it, I'll think of other ways. The things of the silver are not difficult for me. ”

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said, "That's it, don't go outside to grope for someone, just take it from home......"

Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "Sir, you don't have to be so ......"

"Humph!"

Daiyu snorted coldly again and turned her head away from him.

Lin Ruhai smiled a little bitterly, but he still waved his hand to Jia Qiang and said, "You are not a pedantic person, why do you pay attention to this?" You don't have to eat, drink, and have fun, but to do serious things. I don't have a child under my knees, Duyu'er is a beloved daughter, and in the future, the Lin family's family business will not be yours? ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, I will give birth to an heir in the future, the eldest son's surname is Jia, and the second son's surname is Lin, it was a good thing for me to talk to Sister Lin." Therefore, you don't have to worry about the Lin family's family business for several lifetimes, and no one will inherit it. ”

This is the first time Jia Qiang said this to Lin Ruhai.

In this world where thousands of years have paid attention to "unfilial piety and three nos", how can Jia Qiang's approach not make Lin Ruhai happy?

At the beginning, he was able to recognize Jia Qiang and Daiyu, in addition to Jia Qiang's really good treatment of Daiyu, he also heard that Jia Qiang promised a concubine......

If Lin Ruhai is not moved, how can it be?

Not to mention Lin Ruhai, even Aunt Mei was very surprised, looking at Jia Qiang and smiling happily: "It's not in vain that the master loves you so much!" What a good boy! ”

Daiyu was not annoyed anymore, she glanced at Jia Qiang shyly, and she didn't dare to raise her head in shame.

Phew!

Lin Ruhai naturally smiled, but he just ......

"The old lady, I'm afraid you may not agree?"

Jia Qiang smiled: "I agree to this matter, and no one else can take care of it." Besides, it's not a son......"

"Phew! Are you ashamed or not? ”

Daiyu couldn't stand it anymore, and her pretty face was full of disgust.

Jia Qiang is not ashamed, but proud, hehe is straightforward.

Aunt Mei also teased: "It's very shameless! ”

Lin Ruhai ignored these, he said: "That's it, you don't have enough money on hand, you should also take it from home." The money at home is there, and there is no chance to use it, so what are you doing there? However, don't be too anxious, if you spread too much, you will be under great pressure. ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I understand." ”

Subsequently, Lin Ruhai asked Aunt Mei to take a pair of cards and said: "Below 100,000 taels of silver, you can take it yourself and withdraw it, you don't have to ask me." More than 200,000 taels, say hello to me. ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "One hundred thousand taels is about the same, as long as it can support the national funeral." When the time comes, there will be sufficient cash flow back. ”

Lin Ruhai thought for a moment and said, "Take 200,000 yuan, didn't you think about using the Song family's 200,000 taels to make a living as a carriage?" Now let the palace take away 150,000 taels, there must be a gap. Since you believe that this line of work is promising, you don't have to put it off. ”

Jia Qiang was a little embarrassed and said, "Sir, there is still a share of the Yin family here......"

When Lin Ruhai heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Yin family...... It doesn't hurt to make more friends. ”

……

Coming out of Zhonglin Hall, Jia Qiang first sent Daiyu back to Qingzhu Garden.

The two of them strolled on the verandah, stepping on the stars and moon.

Daiyu asked softly, "Is the Feng girl better?" ”

As soon as Jia Qiang heard this, he knew that Zijuan had told Daiyu about today's events, he smiled and said, "I'm angry again...... Sister Lin, who are you saying she and Jia Lian? ”

Daiyu said angrily: "Housework, how can there be a right and wrong?" Don't you hear that it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs? ”

Jia Qiang listened and sighed: "Sister Lin still understands, yes, I listen to you." ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, but asked again: "Then do you think, which of them is right and who is wrong?" ”

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Didn't Sister Lin finish teaching just now, and it is difficult for Qing officials to judge family affairs, so they can't distinguish right from wrong?" Of course, I don't know. ”

Daiyu smiled and said, "How could you not know? Even I only call you Brother Qiang, and Dufeng girl calls you Qiang'er. I don't shy away from anything when I deal with you. You don't know? ”

Jia Qiang coughed dryly and said, "I do favor her...... But now I also told her in front of Ping'er, some of the methods in the past were too much. Jia Lian is not a thing, and she is not really a good person. ”

"Phew! I don't believe it! ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "She fainted in anger, you still talk about her like that?" ”

Jia Qiang said seriously: "Sister Lin knows me, and she never coaxes people, let alone girls, so she has always told the truth." ”

When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but pick up the embroidered handkerchief and beat him, and said, "Full of nonsense, I believe you?" ”

With a laugh, the two returned to Qingzhu Garden.

Daiyu took out a sachet embroidered with phoenix kites, and she handed it to Jia Qiang.

After Jia Qiang took it, she said happily: "Although I don't love this, I will wear it every day when Sister Lin gave it to me." ”

Daiyu laughed angrily: "Which one is for you?" This is for the Yin family girl. ”

Jia Qiang was stunned when she heard this, and said, "No need......

Daiyu said angrily: "What do you know about the affairs between girls?" When I gave birth, people also sent me a gift. ”

Jia Qiang was shocked when she heard this, and said, "Why don't I know? ”

Seeing him like this, not to mention Daiyu, even Zijuan and Snow Goose laughed.

Daiyu ignored him and hurried away: "Go quickly!" I have to go and get the gift first, don't delay. ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, after looking at Daiyu for a while, she suddenly stretched out her arms, hugged her into her arms, and said softly: "Sister Lin, it's good to have you." ”

After that, he kissed her hair again, and then turned away with Daiyu, Zijuan and Snow Goose in red faces.

……

In the early morning of the next day, at the beginning of Yin, Jia Qiang set off from the house and went to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division first.

The Yamen of the Terracotta Division in Dongcheng is full of people coming and going at twelve o'clock a day.

Because there is also a fire ban team on standby at night......

After Jia Qiang arrived, she entered with Gao Long, and saw that the yatang was densely packed with people from the outside to the inside.

Of course, the smell is indispensable......

Jia Qiang frowned and said, "What's going on...... Eh, you don't have to wake up, let you fall asleep well. ”

Gao Long stopped his disciple, and then lowered his voice and said to Jia Qiang: "Didn't you start dividing the area from yesterday?" Because there is a comparison everywhere, and it is a matter of whether you can be a regular Ding Yong and eat the emperor's food, they are all crazy. Some people who are close to home are willing to go home, and those who are far away do not even want to go home, so they make a living in the yamen. ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "How can you get it like this?" Although it is spring, it is gradually getting warmer, but the ground is still cold......"

Gao Long said: "It's also a helpless thing, it's always hard to hit their momentum, it's really rare." ”

Jia Qiang thought for a while and said, "I'll think about this matter again, and we must solve the problem of their food and housing." These are our soldiers, our people, and we cannot use them as cattle. By the way, how was the food? ”

Gao Long smiled bitterly: "Most of these are from idle backgrounds, what else can they eat?" Coarse noodles and multigrain porridge are eaten with pickles. ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "You have to keep up with the food, not to mention how good the food is, but you have to be full." ”

Gao Long reminded: "Master Hou, these thousands of people eat, and the consumption of one day is like a bottomless pit, and the family of the Soldiers and Horses Division can't afford to raise it." ”

Jia Qiang frowned and said: "I have this idea, I can't be idle today, tomorrow, tomorrow we will sum it together, we want to find a regular source of money for the Soldiers and Horses, and we must solve the livelihood first, otherwise, who will sell my life?" ”

Gao Long smiled: "It's already very good!" The regular foot soldiers of the 12th regiment battalion were only paid one or four cents a month, plus half a stone of rice. But what you really get in your hands doesn't add up to less than one or two pieces of silver. Our soldiers and horses do not withhold salaries, and this alone can be on par with the foot soldiers of the 12th regiment battalion. ”

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "Don't exploit layer by layer, it should be, not kindness." Okay, I know this matter in my heart, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

After turning around again, he felt that life at the bottom was not easy, so he went to Miyagi.

……

The Qianqing Palace wept and mourned, and when he was going out of the palace gate, he was arrested by Li Xuan, the king of Kehe County.

"Quack, where to go?"

Jia Qiang didn't stop, and after a casual salute, she continued to walk forward.

Li Xuanwei shouted: "! Jia Qiang, what do you mean? ”

stepped forward and grabbed Jia Qiang and didn't let go, Jia Qiang frowned and said, "I still have serious things to do, why did the prince stop me?" ”

Li Xuan said with a dark face: "Do you still have serious things today?" ”

Jia Qiang said: "Of course there is something!" When have I been free? ”

Li Xuan's eyes became more and more unkind: "Have you forgotten what day it is?" ”

Jia Qiang frowned and said, "What day is it today?" ”

"Okay, you Jia Qiang, you even forgot Ziyu's cousin's birth! You come with me, and you go to the queen to judge the reasoning! Look how she cleans up on you, you bad guy! ”

Li Xuan grabbed Jia Qiang and was about to drag it in the direction of Fengzao Palace.

Jia Qiang shook it off and lowered her voice: "Inside the palace, be quiet!" That's what I'm talking about, the birthday gift I prepared is a Western gift, I'm not in a hurry to get it, what kind of mess are you making! ”

"Huh?"

Li Xuanhu looked at Jia Qiang suspiciously and said, "Really? ”

Jia Qiang said: "Of course! That thing, Dayan doesn't have, only the West has it. ”

Li Xuan scolded suddenly: "You can talk nonsense! You've only known Ziyu for a few days, and you could have known that there was a day earlier a year ago and sent someone to the West to buy gifts? ”

Jia Qiang said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! There is a Western-style door shop in my hall, and it is full of Western-style things. ”

Li Xuanlai was interested, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Do you still have these stubborn children? This king likes novelty and stubbornness the most, let's go, I'll go with you......"

But without waiting for Jia Qiang to refuse, Li Xuan patted his head and said, "It's bad, I forgot that the queen mother asked me to call you, let's go, go to Fengzao Palace first." ”

Jia Qiang's heart was shocked, but her face was not obvious, so she could only follow.

……

entered the Fengzao Palace, and the first thing to catch the eye was the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun.

She is dealing with many female officials of the six bureaus and one division such as Concubine Duan and Zhou Guiren, such as Women's History and Zhaorong, and a huge harem, I don't know how many cumbersome and miscellaneous things are here.

Jia Qiang and Jia Yuanchun saw each other, and she just called out closely, and after greeting her, she was in a hurry to go to her errand.

In the harem, it is easier to pass the time than to be busy.

What's more, if you are powerful, you will not be easily bullied.

After Jia Qiang and the impatient Li Xuan entered the inner hall, Concubine Duan Ru and Zhou Guiren looked at Yuan Chun with envy and whispered: "Niangniang, the Jia family is becoming more and more prosperous now. ”

Yuan Chun was naturally happy in his heart, but he still said politely: "It's just a commander of the First Soldier and Horse Division, and a petty official of the sixth grade, which is not as good as the two of you." ”

Ru laughed angrily: "I'm talking about this? Not to mention the first-class marquis of the Ninghou Mansion of the Tangtang Mansion, just looking at the queen's affection for him, which son of a foreign minister's family has such a creation? ”

Zhou Guiren also echoed: "Now I still haven't married the lord of Yin Jiale, but after getting married, I will become more and more of a family." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't hide his sourness.

Yuan Chun smiled and said, "It's all his own creation!" ”

But in her heart, she still had to write back to persuade her mother, Mrs. Wang, not to offend Jia Qiang again.

Now to offend Jia Qiang for something very infamous, isn't it confused?

She didn't expect that when the queen met today, the first sentence made Jia Qiang's back cold......

In the inner hall, Queen Yin was sitting on the phoenix couch, looking at what folds, and after seeing Li Xuan luring Jia Qiang in, her slender and bright eyes narrowed slightly, looked at him and said: "Jia Qiang, Lin Ruhai yesterday, can I tell you anything bad about this palace?" You tell the truth. ”
