Chapter 86: Jia Yun asks to see the owner behind the scenes
On December 12, Lu Jing was studying in the mansion, and Lu Zheng came to report that Jia Yun wanted to see him.
Lu Jing thought about it for a while, and then decided to meet Jia Yun, and then asked Lu Zheng to ask Jia Yun to meet in Xiangmanlou.
When Lu Zheng came to Beijing three years ago, Lu Jing asked him to focus on Jia Yun, if Jia Yun has a good heart, he can help him appropriately.
After several inspections, Lu Zheng felt that Jia Yun was clever and could speak, and he also knew about Entu Bao, and he was a good partner because of the relationship with Jiafu, so he hired Jia Yun as the manager of several shops in Beijing.
Now Jia Yun is not as depressed as in the original book, and the salary of five taels a month makes him and his mother quite nourishing.
Lu Jing looked at Jia Yun and saw that he was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a tall figure, and he was quite handsome.
Since he knew that the Jia family was going to build the Grand View Garden, he had made some layouts, and now when he saw Jia Yun, a new idea appeared in his mind, and he planned to take advantage of this matter to help Jia Yun gain a certain status in the Jia family, so that he could act in the future.
After Jia Yun learned that Lu Jing was his owner, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lu Jing to be so young, although he looked gentle and approachable, he had an awe-inspiring bearing, which made him have the illusion of looking up.
Jia Yun couldn't help but secretly guess Lu Jing's identity, but his reaction was not slow, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "No, Jia Yun asked the owner to say goodbye!" ”
"No need to do this, please get up!" Lu Jing smiled indifferently: "Although Lu Zheng hired you to be in charge, the business in Beijing also depends on you, and I have to thank you for it!" ”
"The owner is laughing, it's all the blessing of the owner and Brother Lu's idea, it's just running errands!" Jia Yun said with a smile on her face.
He is very grateful to Lu Zheng for helping him when he was down, otherwise he would have to run around for food and clothing now, how can he be like this, not only has no worries about food and clothing, but also bought a maid to serve his mother.
"Don't call me the owner, although this business is mine, it's just an unimportant chore, you can call me Master Lu or Brother Lu!" Lu Jing said casually, he has long ceased to participate in these businesses, and now that the Lu family is financially stable, he has put all his mind on scientific research.
"I don't remember!" Jia Yun hurriedly said, thinking to herself in her heart, it seems that this Lu Gongzi is not a businessman's family, and his bearing should be the son of an official eunuch.
Lu Jing beckoned Lu Zheng and Jia Yun to sit down, and then said: "Your identity Lu Zheng has told me, speaking of which, you are also from a famous family in Beijing, and I still have a relationship with your Jia Mansion if you want to talk about it in detail." ”
Jia Yun was stunned when he heard this, although he was a minor side branch of Jiafu, he was quite well-informed, and he had never heard of any intersection between Jiafu and people surnamed Lu.
Lu Zheng explained Jia Yun's confusion and said: "Brother Yun, don't blame, just because the lord didn't allow our lord to handle the business of Jia, and I didn't give a detailed introduction to the identity of my uncle, our Lu family is a family of eunuchs in Gusu." ”
Then Lu Zheng explained to Jia Yun the relationship between the Lu family and the Lin family, the in-law relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family, and the master-apprentice relationship between Lu Jing and Lin Ruhai.
A moment of astonishment appeared on Jia Yun's face, he didn't expect the Lu family and the Jia family to have such a deep relationship, and hurriedly bowed: "I never thought that Gongzi was so young, he was a master who took the exam. ”
"Thank you for your good words!" Lu Jing said with a smile.
"Speaking of Aunt Lin, I have heard of it, and they all say that Aunt Lin is very knowledgeable, and he is the hand-picked Tanhualang back then, and I heard that he is now valued by the emperor as a big official in Beijing, but he has no chance to see it." Jia Yun said with a smile.
Lu Jing nodded, and chatted with Jia Yun about the interesting things in Beijing recently.
Jia Yun saw that Lu Jing spoke kindly, and his attitude was also kind and approachable, and he suddenly had a good feeling in his heart, and hurriedly took the initiative to talk about the reason for asking to see Lu Jing: "Originally, it was not a major event that required Gongzi to come forward, but I just heard Brother Lu say a few days ago that Gongzi is in the capital, and I didn't think that Yun Neng has today is all thanks to Gongzi's blessings, so how should I meet him." ”
"I didn't expect you to meet Lu Zheng, since you know each other, it means that you are destined."
"I often hear Lu Zheng praise your talent, speaking of which, you can be where you are today because you are a capable person." Lu Jing said with a smile.
"No, how can you have any ability, it's all the blessings of Tuo Gongzi and Brother Lu's attention!" Jia Yun said modestly.
"Presumably the son has also heard that now the provincial hospital of the concubine is being built in the Rong Mansion, and he is familiar with the second master of the mansion, and the second master of Lian learned that he was in charge of Brother Lu, and he learned that Brother Lu was from Jiangnan, so he wanted to hand over the errand of buying flowers and trees and supervising the flower and tree project to me, but only then did he want to see the son."
Lu Jing nodded and said: "I have also heard about this matter, the Jia family has also asked the teacher to get a lot of silver for this, and I want to congratulate you Jia Mansion for being valued by the emperor!" ”
"Childe said and laughed, isn't it just a slight side branch of the Jia family, and being able to get some luxury is to burn high incense, I don't know what Childe thinks of this?" Jia Yun asked.
"Don't worry about this first, let me ask you, did you discuss this matter with the second master of your house, or with the second grandmother of your house, has the second grandmother of your house allowed it?" Lu Jing asked.
"It's just that Second Master Lian agreed!" Jia Yun was puzzled.
"Hehe, then this matter is not necessarily, it needs the permission of the second grandmother in your house to count." Lu Jing said with a smile.
"But with your ability, this matter should be nine out of ten, you can discuss this matter with Lu Zheng, and you don't need to ask my idea."
"Thank you Childe for your permission." Jia Yun was overjoyed, feeling that since Jia Lian had already promised him an errand, the matter was basically decided.
"I think you have spent a lot of thought and money on this matter, and I don't say how much silver I will thank you, so let's do it, this transaction is thanks to your introduction, and I don't need you to pay any capital, if the thing is done, the profits earned will give you thirty percent!" Lu Jing said.
"How can this be made, not just running errands, how can there be any credit, how can you ask for 30% of the profit, Gongzi and Brother Lu have enough monthly salaries!" Although Jia Yun was overjoyed when she heard this, she still refused.
This time, he was just to repay Lu Zheng for helping him when he was broken, how could he ask for a reward, and at the same time sighed in his heart that Lu Gongzi was really not an ordinary person, his mind was exquisite, and he did invite Jia Lian to a good meal for this matter.
"This matter is so decided, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I have always paid attention to everything clearly, and after getting along for a long time, you will understand."
Seeing Jia Yun's uneasiness, Lu Jing continued to persuade: "This silver is not much for me, but it is different for you, I heard Lu Zheng say that you still live in a two-room house on one acre of land, and when this is done, you should also buy a better house, buy some family business, and invite a few maids and servants, so that Lingtang can enjoy the blessings." ”
"Don't thank Gongzi for mercy!" Jia Yun was greatly moved in her heart, and hurriedly thanked her.
Although he planned to curry favor with the master behind Lu Zheng at this meeting, he didn't expect Lu Gongzi to think so much about him, he lost his father when he was two years old, and he relied on his mother to pull him up, and he had a deep relationship with his mother.
Now that I heard Lu Jing say this, I no longer refused, I just wanted to do things well and repay the kindness of the Lu family's master and servant.
Then Lu Jing mentioned a few words to Jia Yun, explained that Lu Zheng treated Jia Yun well, and then got up and went home.
After Jia Yun went home, she waited for a few days, but before Jia Lian's letter, she was a little anxious, and then thought of Lu Jing's suggestion, so she bought a gift again and came to Rongfu.
After inquiring about Jia Lian going out, Jia Yun entered the backyard.
Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian have been secretly investigating Mrs. Wang's affairs recently, and they didn't plan to get involved in building a garden, but Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang didn't allow her to refuse at all, so they handed over all the errands to her.
After she gritted her teeth and took it, she was ruthless, and decided to get back all the dowry that her butler had put in from this errand, so no matter who came to ask for an errand, she would never let go if she did not give enough benefits.
Jia Yun waited in the backyard for a while and saw a group of people coming out with Wang Xifeng in their arms.
He knew that Wang Xifeng had always liked to flatter and show off his duties, so he hurriedly grabbed it respectfully and asked for peace: "My nephew asks my aunt for peace!" ”
Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Yun slantedly, but still walked forward by himself, and when he saw Jia Yun following up, he asked casually: "I heard that you are out of business now, what business house are you in charge?" ”
Jia Yun didn't care about Wang Xifeng's attitude towards him, and said with a smile: "My nephew is fooling around, how can he have any interest, if he can run errands in front of his aunt and uncle, don't say anything about taking care of things, even if he is a five-grade official, how can he follow his aunt to have a chance." ”
"You can talk, how is your mother now?" Wang Xifeng was happy when he heard the flattery, so he asked casually.
"Mother is okay, but she always remembers her aunt, so she doesn't let her nephew come to see her aunt." Jia Yun replied with a smile.
"But a liar, if I don't mention her, you won't say she misses me."
Jia Yun hurriedly said: "My nephew is not afraid of thunder, so he dares to lie in front of his elders." Yesterday, my mother also mentioned my aunt, saying that my aunt's body was born weak, and now there are many things in the house, and my aunt is so energetic, she actually takes care of everything thoroughly. ”
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but stop and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, you two chew me behind your back?" ”
"There is a reason, yesterday my nephew got a Fulu colorful bottle, my mother said that this thing can only be enjoyed by the rich and noble, and ordinary people can't afford it, so the nephew pondered that if the rich and noble can compare with the aunt, he sent it to the aunt."
Jia Yun said as she opened the brocade box, revealing a delicate multicolored bottle, only to see that the bottle was tattooed with a purple Fulu pattern, and it looked very rich.
Wang Xifeng took a look at it, and thought it was very good-looking, and estimated the price in his heart, which should be about fifty taels, so he ordered Feng'er to take it: "Take Brother Yun'er, send it home, and hand it over to Ping'er to collect." ”
"Seeing you know what is good or bad like this, no wonder your uncle often mentions you, saying that you speak clearly and have insight in your heart, and you are really not bad."
Jia Yun heard Wang Xifeng's words, and hurriedly took the opportunity to ask: "It turns out that my uncle also mentioned my nephew?" ”
"Ago, your uncle said that you begged him for an errand, and this errand was originally promised to someone else, and I was embarrassed, but it happened that you came today!" Wang Xifeng said.
She thought that Jia Yun would not come to see her for no reason, and thought that she had listened to someone's guidance and came for the errand of repairing the garden.
Jia Yun said in her heart that she was really said by Lu Gongzi, if Wang Xifeng nodded on this errand, I am afraid that he might not be able to do it, and said with a smile: "Ask uncle for this, aunt Huti, I regret it, I knew this, my nephew came to ask my aunt early in the morning." ”
Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Yun: "No wonder you came to look for me today." ”
"My aunt has failed my filial piety, and my nephew doesn't mean that." Jia Yun hurriedly smiled and said, "Now that my aunt knows, I want to leave my uncle behind, so I have to beg my aunt to hurt me again." ”
Wang Xifeng sneered: "If you want to choose a long way, it will be difficult for me to say, if you come to tell me earlier, what will not be done, how big it will be, and it will be delayed to this point." ”
Jia Yun hurriedly saluted and smiled: "In this case, my aunt Ming'er will send me." ”
Wang Xifeng pretended to groan: "I don't look very good at this, and I will send it to you when the fireworks and candles come down in the first month of next year." ”
"Good aunt, send this to me first, and if this one is good, then send that one to my nephew." Jia Yun saw that there was a play, and hurriedly begged.
"You will stretch the line, it's just that, if your uncle doesn't often talk about you, I won't care about your business, you will buy flowers and bamboos tomorrow, and get the silver in the afternoon." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.
Jia Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly thanked Wang Xifeng: "Nephew, thank you aunt, catch up with Ming'er's nephew and get some good things, and I will come to honor my aunt as soon as possible." ”
