Chapter 231: Glory Hall I (2)
In the eyes of the Jia family, Jia Qiang is still just a shit kid who has gone through shit luck.
What can he do?
Although he had also made up the Laoshzi barbecue before, he still found two recipes out of nowhere and sold them to Buhao, earning tens of thousands of taels of silver.
But that's it, and the real big businessmen are completely different things.
Why did he let the rich salt merchants in Yangzhou Province cooperate with him?
It's just relying on Lin Ruhai's momentum to swagger around in Yangzhou Mansion, do people recognize who he is?
But these benefits shouldn't have been Jia Qiang's.
Let the second room uncle of the Xue family be the chief shopkeeper, what a big deal it must be!
Think about the methods used by those salt merchants to get rich......
For a while, Wang Xifeng, who was the most greedy, even became short of breath.
Daiyu is the most wise, she saw that the Jia family did not like Jia Qiang, so she smiled and said: "Brother Qiang is a good minister appointed by the emperor, after this letter was passed to Yangzhou, we were originally in the Yanyuan Yamen to accompany our father, but those people visited the left and the right one, and they were very annoying." and the governor of Liangjiang, all came to the door for this, and together with his father, he coaxed Brother Qiang to stand up for them, and brought a few bad guys to justice. Because of this, those bad guys also spent money to hire assassins to assassinate Qiang'er. That day, Brother Qiang was carried back, and his face was covered with blood, which made people jump. Daddy said that Brother Qiang was blocked in the alley and ambushed with crossbow arrows, and if it wasn't for someone around him to protect him, he would have pushed off the horse first, and more than one horse would have died...... For this, Daddy is still a little guilty. ”
These words shocked the whole house, who would have thought that it would be like this?
Mrs. Wang was the first to come back to her senses, looked at Daiyu scrutinically, and said, "Big girl, Jiangnan, is it all messed up to this point?" ”
Daiyu sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't? Sister Bao's brother first arrived in Yangzhou, before he came to look for Brother Qiang, he was almost beaten outside, fortunately, Brother Qiang was talking on another boat that day, and heard his scream, so he rushed over to save Sister Bao's brother and avenged him. ”
When Aunt Xue heard this, she immediately couldn't sit still, and her face turned pale and said, "Feng'er, that's ...... Then my family's evil obstacle is okay now? ”
Daiyu said with a smile: "It has been raised a long time ago, but Sister Bao's brother has been in Yangzhou for so long that he hasn't even been able to get out." His injuries healed, and he was about to go out, but Brother Qiang was assassinated, and then Brother Qiang said that it was too chaotic outside, so he didn't want to go out, and stayed until he returned to Beijing. ”
Aunt Xue was very happy when she heard this, and folded her hands and said, "Amitabha! As it should be, as it should be! ”
After that, he said goodbye to Jia's mother: "Old lady, my family's unconscious obstacle has returned, I'll go and see it first...... He is not worth seeing, but Xue Zhen is also here, and I, who is an uncle, will also go over to see him. ”
Jia Muqiang smiled: "Go and go, I have to talk again in the evening." ”
Aunt Xue took Baochai and Baoqin back to Lixiangyuan first, she was in such a hurry to leave not only because Xue Pan was back, but also because she felt that the atmosphere of the Jia family was not right today.
After all, she is a guest, an outsider, so it is not good to stay long, so as not to hear what should not be heard and see what should not be seen, and everyone will be embarrassed......
But after all, Mother Jia has been a wife all her life, and she is used to enjoying happiness and being used, where will she really let the atmosphere go to that point?
Besides, the main owner hasn't appeared yet.
After a while, a few cages were sent in by the grandmothers, which were the gifts brought by Daiyu from Yangzhou.
Sister Feng pressed the messy thoughts in her heart, and went to the ceremony with Li Kun and Mandarin Duck, opened it and saw it, and said "yo", she was knowledgeable, picked up a silk and laughed loudly: "This is the new silk of Suzhou, right?" It's so dense and soft! Look at this color, it is brighter than the new products of the Hang Seng Wang family and the Dongsheng Zhao family! Coincidentally, the family is about to make new clothes, and this color is the most positive. ”
Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "I also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, Brother Qiang knows how to cook, so he started a dyeing workshop in Yangzhou." Now that it's done, my aunt and I think these are better than those sold on the market, so we asked him for some and came back as a gift to everyone. ”
Sister Feng listened to it funny, and said: "Didn't you say that Qiang'er became a disciple of her uncle, and she made her majestic everywhere in Yangzhou?" Why do you listen to it now, it seems that my uncle is still relying on him? ”
If it was in the past, Daiyu would have put down her face and confronted Sister Feng against Mai Mang, but now she has learned to endure it, just so that after Jia Qiang came over in the evening, she would be less blamed.
Daiyu nodded and said softly: "Daddy accepted him as a disciple, and he only taught for ten days." On weekdays, my father has been cultivating his body and bones, and he is still not neat, and I still have to take medicine every day...... In many things in Yangzhou, my father was not energetic and couldn't deal with it, and they were all for Brother Qiang to come forward. Daddy and I thanked him. ”
Mrs. Wang couldn't figure it out: "What about your second brother?" ”
Daiyu's face changed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "After the second brother Lian arrived in Yangzhou, he was busy with his career, and he didn't go back to live in the salt courtyard much, he was always running outside, don't talk about me, and my father didn't see me much......"
When everyone in the Jia family heard this, their faces were wonderful!
Sister Feng almost didn't vomit blood......
"Where's Brother Qiang? Where is the lord in front? ”
Unconsciously talked about Jia Qiang for a long time, Jia Mu finally thought of asking about the main master.
Daiyu shook her head and smiled: "There are too many things at home, they are all packed in cages, and my father went to see him, so I left Brother Qiang to watch and sent them back to the new house." ”
Mother Jia didn't know what to say when she heard this, and said, "There is no housekeeper in the house?" How do you get him to do this? ”
Daiyu saw that everyone was looking at her with different eyes, so she lowered her eyes and laughed softly: "The housekeeper is not familiar with everything, and besides, now that my father is in front of me, Brother Qiang is almost inferior to me." There are many things that my father asked him to do. Last night, my father told him that after he came back, he would let him live in the East Road Courtyard, first, to study, and secondly, to have some things to do for him. ”
When Sister Feng heard this, she looked at Baoyu first, and saw that this phoenix boy was stunned at the moment, and looked at Daiyu sitting beside Jia's mother on the side of the soft couch on the high platform, as if she suddenly felt like a different person......
Sister Feng'er's eyes rolled quietly, and then she laughed loudly: "Uncle is very calculating, Qiang'er is a good child of the Jia family, let my uncle go!" But this time, I'm afraid it won't be as my uncle wants, didn't the old lady ask the old man to go to the southern province to write a letter? Alas, Dongfu Zhen's eldest brother is gone, and even Rong'er has suffered, and now he is pointing to Qiang'er to go over there to inherit the lordship of the ancestors and take responsibility for Dongfu. How could he go to Lin's house? If the uncle doesn't nod, let him go and fight with Uncle Jing and rob people. ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard her witty, but when they saw that Daiyu was not angry, they glanced at her and said with a smile: "You are so calculating!" Brother Qiang told his father, he was not willing to accept the title, he wanted to study with his father, and he wanted to take the imperial examination. ”
When Jia Mu, who had endured it for a long time, heard this, she couldn't suppress her anger anymore, slapped the soft couch, and shouted: "I can't help him!" Isn't Ningfu his ancestral inheritance? Isn't the old man his ancestor? This evil obstacle is muddy, how can he be allowed to be presumptuous? ”
Daiyu's face turned pale, Mrs. Wang sat on the side and her face was silent, Li Kun didn't dare to say more, Sister Feng saw that Jia's mother was angry, and it was not easy to persuade her for a while, Baoyu was still in a daze, but Tanchun, who was sitting below, stood up and said with a smile: "If the old lady is a lesson, you should wait for Brother Qiang to come and then teach a lesson, your old Fengjun has always loved Sister Lin the most, how can you scold her now?" ”
Mother Jia came back to her senses when she heard this, hurriedly hugged Daiyu into her arms, and blamed herself with a smile: "Where am I scolding you, I am scolding the evil obstacle that is rampant when you have the will!" Now that Yu'er is back, she will stay at home with me, laugh with her sisters, and don't pay attention to the evil obstacles. Your family doesn't need him to worry about it, since you don't have a reliable steward under Lao Tzu for the time being, I will lend him a butler first, and I will send someone over in a while, and the custody is a hundred times stronger than the evil obstacle. ”
Baoyu finally came back to his senses, and forgot about his friendship with Jia Qiang, and when he heard Jia's mother's words, he agreed with ten thousand people, and nodded again and again: "Extremely true, what the ancestor said is extremely true!" Sister Lin came back this time, and even Aunt Lin also returned to Beijing, so it can be seen that there is no need to leave. My sisters and sisters miss you very much, and they also received your New Year's gifts, and they also have New Year's gifts for you when they look back, and keep them as you like! ”
Daiyu smiled when she heard this, but she remembered the small opera troupe sent by Jia Qiang, and said in her heart that when the family was properly settled, she invited the sisters to come over as guests and let them see those little drama officials.
When Baoyu saw Daiyu smiling, she thought she had agreed to this, and she was happy again.
But he didn't want Daiyu to come back to his senses, but he said to Jia's mother: "I should have listened to my grandmother's words, and I was willing to study with my sisters to be a female celebrity, but my father's body and bones have not been well, and he can't take medicine, but he is always busy with business and forgets to take medicine." Although my aunt also persuaded her, my father didn't often listen to her, so I could only serve the decoction as a daughter, so he couldn't refuse. My father always said that I would come back to live here after I returned to Beijing, and that no one would bother him anymore, but where could I rest assured? Father's knees, after all, I am the only daughter......"
This......
Baoyu fell into a sluggish state again, and Mrs. Wang saw it in her eyes, and her heart was distressed.
Although Jia's mother was helpless and wanted to keep people, her thoughts at this time were all about how to make Jia Qiang obedient and obedient, and she didn't have the energy to think about anything else for a while.
Daiyu's matter, after finishing Jia Qiang's affairs, she will talk to Lin Ruhai in person.
After nothing happened for a while, Mother Jia asked Li Kun to take Daiyu and Baoyu and other sisters to go down to catch up first, and she discussed business with Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng......
……
After the Rongqing Hall, inside the Big Flower Hall.
After everyone sat down, Li Kun looked at Daiyu and said with a smile: "Feng'er is getting better and better now, and she is much stronger than before, not like a beauty who falls down when the wind blows." ”
Tanchun saw Baoyu following behind dejectedly, as if he had lost his soul, so he stepped forward and pulled Daiyu and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, why are you full of Brother Qiang now, and you can also take care of the second brother?" ”
Li Kun, Yingchun, and Xichun all laughed when they heard this.
Daiyu pinched Tanchunqiao's face angrily, and said, "You talk a lot, how can I ignore the second brother?" I took care of it at the door, it was the old lady and Feng Yatou who always asked about Brother Qiang, so I mentioned him. Otherwise, what do I ask him to do? Besides, they are all their own sisters, which one is different when I mention it? ”
Tanchun laughed and said: "My original Sister Daolin has really become different, now it seems that in the end, as the old saying goes, the country is easy to change and difficult to change, Sister Lin's mouth is still the same knife mouth!" ”
Everyone laughed more and more, and even Baoyu seemed to have eased the desolation in her heart because of Daiyu's words, and laughed along.
After laughing, he stepped forward and said, "Sister Lin, when you didn't come back, the sisters got together to write poems during the New Year, and wrote a few excellent poems, do you want to take a look?" ”
Daiyu smiled: "Coincidentally, my father also took us to compose poems during the Chinese New Year, and I also got a few excellent sentences, do you want to hear it?" ”
