"Brother Qiang, I heard that you recently bought a house, or is it the big mansion of General Zhenguo?"

Jia Mu asked gently.

If it is an ordinary grandchild, even if it is Dongfu Jia Zhen, if she doesn't like it, she can also be taught a lesson and scolded.

Previously, Jia Baoyu was cleaned up by Jia Zhenghao, and some people said that it was Jia Zhen who did it, so she was so angry that she called her and taught her a hard lesson?

is not a seniority, she is still a first-class Duchess of Rongguo in Dayan, not a clan, how many women in the world are more valuable than her?

has been rich for most of his life, and he has always been smooth, how can he hide his grievances in front of his juniors?

But the one in front of me is different.

If there is only the praise of the emperor, then it is nothing.

On the day of filial piety, there is a saint's praise and it cannot be regarded as a gold medal for avoiding death.

However, the Jia family did something sorry for Jia Qiang before, and they were all bullshit and urine things that couldn't be put on the table.

In order to prevent Jia Qiang from frying the pan and breaking the big thing, Jia Mu can only be patient and speak well.

When Jia Qiang heard this, she nodded and said, "There is such a thing, on the side of Xixie Street." ”

Although many people in the hall knew about this, they were still moved when they heard this.

Buying a house in the capital is something that many people can't do in their lifetime, let alone the mansion of the prince of the clan!

Mother Jia pressed down the uneasiness and annoyance in her heart and asked, "Aren't you living with your aunt?" is good, how did you set up a big house? ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Because I want to open a hall, make more friends, and meet some capable people in order to grow." ”

Mother Jia frowned when she heard this, she was reluctant to pay attention to the affairs of the grandfathers outside, but she was also willing to support the progress of the family.

She knows all the Qing guest husbands in Jia Zheng's study, and she thinks it's very good.

Because those people have a skill, or can write, or music, or know painting, or know the wonder of gold and stone.

This is also where she prefers her youngest son, compared to Jia Zheng's elegant and studious, the eldest son only knows how to raise his little wife at home to eat flowers and wine, which makes her look down on her.

However, is it that in order to raise customers, he will call such a big house?

Jia Muqi said: "Then do you have enough money on hand?" If it's not enough, I still have some here, you can use it first. ”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang bowed slightly and said, "The silver is enough, thank you for the kindness of the old lady." ”

Jia Mu became more and more curious: "I asked someone, you didn't bring any silver with you when you came out of the East Mansion." Although you have made a deal when you go out, you can make four thousand taels of silver by selling some barbecue? ”

Jia Qiang was not surprised that Jia Mu knew this, but was surprised that she knew so briefly and roughly.

But before he could speak, Jia Baoyu smiled and said: "Ancestor, don't underestimate Brother Qiang'er's business, I heard Sister Yun'er say that many Hou Mansion orders have come to her second aunt's door, wanting to find Brother Qiang's recipe to make a fortune." Brother Qiang and the Hou Mansion of Huai'an did business together and made a lot of money. ”

Jia Mu and the others were shocked again, looked at Shi Xiangyun together, and asked, "Is this really the case?" ”

Shi Xiangyun ate a little too much wine just now, and now he blushed, and said with a smile: "Isn't that the case?" Even the second aunt was thinking about whether she could get Brother Qiang's recipe. The Huai'an Hou Mansion earned hundreds of taels of silver in less than a month, but the second aunt was greedy......"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu's face changed.

Xue Baochai, who was sitting next to Shi Xiangyun, hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile: "It's all mine, I ate a little more wine with her just now, and I was drunk and talking nonsense." ”

After all, Jia's mother was born in a historical family, and her nephew and daughter-in-law actually had such thoughts, which really made her lose face.

After Mrs. Wang glanced at Baochai approvingly, she smiled on the side: "Can you earn so much?" It seems that the barbecue is delicious. ”

Everyone's attention shifted at once, and they all speculated about how delicious it must be to make so much money.

Even Jia Mu smiled: "I forgot about this stubble." ”

Jia Baoyu smiled happily: "I've eaten some, like the taste of the Hu people in the Western Regions, and my ancestors and wives must not be used to eating them." It's the cream fruit ice made by Brother Qiang, which is really delicious. ”

Seeing Jia Baoyu's view, Jia Qiang smiled slightly and said, "It should have been sent to the mansion for the old ladies and ladies to taste." But just like the treasure ...... Uncle Bao said that the method of barbecue is obtained from the Western Regions Hu method, and the taste is spicy and spicy. Good eaters are all people who do not pay attention to the method of health preservation, and then they are people who practice martial arts, so the Huai'an Hou Mansion will set up the business at the door of the barracks. Uncle Bao didn't add chili peppers to what he ate at the beginning, so he didn't think it was delicious. ”

Mother Jia was relieved when she heard this, and said to the girls of the Jia family who were eager to try: "Brother Qiang is right, those with a heavy and explosive taste, it seems to be enjoyable to eat, but in fact, it is not good for the body at all, and the people with mud legs lack salt and taste, and they love to eat, and people like us can't touch it." ”

After a change of words, he said: "Even if you can earn a few hundred taels of silver a month, but you have only been out of the house for two months, how can you afford to save four thousand taels of silver?" ”

Jia Qiang said: "In addition to the Hu Fang in the Western Regions, I also found two recipes for dyeing cloth. One of them has been obtained by Hang Seng Cloth Company, one of the eight major cloth shops in Beijing, and Wang Shouzhong, the young owner of Hang Seng Hao, has also become friends with me. In addition, there is a recipe for sale, and according to Wang Shouzhong's estimate, such a recipe is worth no less than 30,000 taels of silver. Therefore, there is no shortage of silver to buy a house. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the Rongqing Hall.

Thirty thousand taels of silver is by no means a small amount for the Xue family, which has a wealth of millions.

If you get two squares, you will get 60,000 taels of silver......

Others don't say it, it's not that his eyelids are too shallow, Duwang Xifeng looked at Jia Qiang with a pair of Danfeng eyes, as if he was about to eat him!

She exhausted her mind to put money in the print, and she could only earn a few ...... a year

After Jia Mu pondered for a while, she asked slowly: "That recipe, is it really worth 30,000 taels of silver?" Don't look at the emperor's face......"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly: "Old lady, although the emperor praises me, that sentence can only protect me, and I won't be bullied for no reason, but I can't rely on it to be powerful." Moreover, now Qingliu is scolding me, the Wang family is a businessman, and he can't hide from me, where will he spend 30,000 taels of silver to please me? ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she seemed to be the same, but she wondered again, and said, "Why is someone in Shilin scolding you?" ”

Jia Qiang sighed and said, "They think that what I said is too flattering, there is no character at all, and it is a lucky villain who deceives the king and is greedy for happiness and use, and squanders it. ”

Jia Mu thought back to what she heard Jia Qiang say, suddenly smiled, and said, "You said that it is a good thing for the Emperor Taishang to spend some silver to build a palace, isn't it appropriate for people to be scolded?" However, in people like us, as long as there is an ancestral title and a holy dependent, it is not a matter for those officials to scold a few words. A few days ago, you won the praise of the Emperor Taishang again, and in front of the heavenly family and the old ministers, you said that you are a good boy and an understanding person. I've seen it now, it's indeed a good one, I wronged you before, and I don't mention those things. In the future, you will come to the courtyard more often and study with your second uncle. ”

The palace is about to reach a critical time, and she doesn't want to put an unstable factor outside.

Go into the house first, and then drive it out after the big things in the palace are decided.

For the sake of the Jia family's affairs, she is willing to suffer some more grievances.

But she didn't want to, Jia Qiang didn't thank Dade when she heard her words, but said: "Old lady, I'm going to leave Beijing tomorrow and go south, and I have something to do with the south......

"You're going south?"

Mother Jia frowned when she heard this, and she didn't want to let Jia Qiang, who could cause trouble, leave her surveillance range from the bottom of her heart.

It's not possible to go to the south, why can't the girl of the Xue family enter the palace?

Isn't it because of the good things her bastard brother did in the south?

If Jia Qiang also broke into a big disaster in the south, it would implicate the Jia family and the palace!

Just as she sank her face to object, she suddenly heard a movement from the direction of the door, and a girl reported that the master and the second master of the chain were coming......

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Jia Zheng and Jia Lian to hurry in with bad faces.

Seeing Jia Zheng's face, Jia's mother's heart sank.

Then he saw that Jia Zheng's eyes actually paused on Lin Daiyu's face first, and Fang said in a heavy voice: "Mother, my sister-in-law in Yangzhou sent a letter from there, saying that his body is not very good, and let his niece go back to serve the sick." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu and the others' faces changed in fright, and Lin Daiyu's little face was even more pale without a trace of blood.

If it weren't for the terrible illness and the fear that there would be no children to do their filial piety when they died, how could they send someone to pick them up at this time?
