The backyard of the narcissus nunnery walked for a while, the vine and kudzu surrounded the wall, the moss cloth slate, there was no merit except for the quiet, back to the middle hall, there was a statue of Luo Shen in the middle, the edges and corners were worn, the parts fell off, the afterglow was still there, Jia Cong came out of the patio in the front yard, a little nun came in person, the eyebrows were handsome, the outline was a little familiar, I couldn't remember: "The little road chief is...... Helm the Yard? ”

"It wasn't before, but now it's probably worth it." Dao Gu held a bamboo broom in her hand, and she was probably cleaning the fallen leaves outside.

"How so?"

"There is a noble grandmother who has set up the whole nunnery with her sister-in-law, and said that she will leave me to help take care of it. I happened to be sold here, this uncle, is also a noble man who forgets things. The young nun is heroic and has her own charm, clearing her throat: "The green phoenix feathers are tied to the broom fork, and the flowers are swept away for the immortals ......"

A familiar Kun cavity water mill tune, Jia Cong realized: "Fang Guan......"

Fang Guan was originally bought by Jia Qiang from Jiangnan with Ling Guan, and a provincial relationship with a noble concubine changed their fate, aristocrats and capital, and played with the bottom people at will. During the period of the old lady's national filial piety, the opera troupes had to be disbanded, and the twelve people rose and fell with the waves, Fang Guan was first a maid and maid of Baoyu, and then Mrs. Wang was a great woman, named "Ci", and Zhishan and other monks, but was actually used as slaves by the old nuns, and Mrs. Wang removed the "fox spirit", and earned the reputation of benevolence and righteousness in vain.

Ruo Qingwen and Jia Baoyu have already followed the turmoil of Fang Guan Huixiang, and the soul of Fang has dissipated.

I haven't seen her for a few years, Jia Cong saw that her appearance and temperament have changed greatly, and she is unlikely to resist frivolously, and her phoenix eyes have no glorious look, which should be the torture of the world, so that she has a self-protection of blocking the audio-visual, and when she comes out of the mountain gate, there are occasional beggars, the trail is barren, and she can hear the song "When Enjoying the Flowers" in her mind in the blur, Jia Cong is stunned: "Li Kun chose this place as a place for trysts and pleasures, and chose such a well-behaved person, and he should be really cautious and close to me." ”

When the day of the funeral was approaching, Jia Cong watched the scenery all the way without hurry, or entered the Guanxiangfang, listened to the sound of the market, looked at the folk customs, and gradually became more and more open-minded, and finally returned to the house, as usual, to say goodbye to the elders and discuss the funeral and other matters.

In the main hall of the big lady in the east of the West Mansion, Mrs. Xing, who was wearing a decrepit linen filial piety dress, was bloated and unaesthetic, and she did not see the reduction, but seemed to be satisfied with her husband's death, looking around the big house, everyone gathered to ask for peace, Mrs. Xing took the Jinan Autumn Dew White presented by Ping'er, lifted the tea lid and fanned it back and forth, proud: "The famous products and hometown Sanwu specialties sent in by Cong'er from all over the country, especially the Nanyang spice ivory, I like it very much." It stands to reason that the family should also do some constant industry and stabilize expenses, relying on Zhuangzi alone, it will not work in previous years. ”

The concubine Jia Cong is involved in the most profitable smuggling sea trade in ancient times, his small treasury is never short of money, his mother-in-law Mrs. Xing deserves to be pleased, and the stingy and selfish Mrs. Xing has received a lot of benefits, how happy, Jia Yu died, in the big house, I am the only one, who else is me?

"The wife thinks long-term, and those who have no permanent property have no perseverance. Recently, I would like to propose to open two money banks, the money bank ticket exchange, silver and copper exchange, and can also mint private money, help the market circulation, money is expensive and cheap, private money is overflowing, not afraid of violating the law, and there are two or three times the stable profit, it is a long-term solution. Xue Baochai was slow and reasonable.

Jia Cong didn't know whether to be relieved or to smile bitterly, and thought: "The treaty ports are wide open, the sea trade is prosperous, and the capital and productivity of businessmen and people are stimulated...... Sister Bao's vision is really accurate, the Xue family has already opened a pawn shop, but it's a pity that ...... Brother-in-law Xue Pan has no brains. ”

"Start a money bank, let alone 20,000 taels, this one gets 40,000 taels of silver, the capital gathers businessmen from all over the world, but I am not afraid that I can't open it, it is indeed a long-term way." Ping'er thought about it and agreed.

"Let's go, just eat too much." Jia Cong nodded and thought: "Qianzhuang ticket number, we have to pay attention to it in the future, if the economy collapses, the family and the country have to get rid of it." ”

Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up, and her mother and son-in-law didn't understand economic means at all, but one was a person who had the best habit of collecting money, and the other was a lover of spending money to lose the family, always dreaming of getting rich overnight, and spending a few million, Mrs. Xing smiled: "I will leave two of you young grandmothers, dozens of wives and concubines and maids of the eldest master, and the rest will be sent away, so as to save money." ”

"Qiu Tong ......" Jia Lian blurted out eagerly, and then smiled awkwardly.

"Hush." Ping'er sneered quietly.

Xue Baochai didn't hear it, Jia Cong touched his nose, the woman behind him was messy enough, laughed in fifty steps and laughed in a hundred steps, coughed dryly twice, and said goodbye. Seeing that the nominal son and daughter-in-law were all gone, Mrs. Xing looked forward to Zixiong: "Qiu Tong, Yan Hong, let's order the furniture again." ”

Back to the private library of the ear room, Mrs. Xing couldn't love it like this, she couldn't be so happy, she flipped through the accounts, she couldn't bear to release the volume, and she felt that she shouldn't let anyone know about her furniture, thinking of this, she was heartbroken that Wang Shanbao's family was thrown out, and there was no smug person around. After handling an antique painting fan obtained by Jia Yu colluding with Jia Yucun to kill a stone nerd, he couldn't put it down again, and said to himself in obsession: "It must be worth a lot of money, take it to the antique store to bid." ”

The gold box and silver box were dazzling, Mrs. Xing lowered her bloated body, and one by one she took out the pearl necklaces that she had sold dozens of concubines and maids in exchange for Jia Yu, just like a desert trekker approaching the water source, she had a huge sense of satisfaction and security, and sneered: "It's all mine!" Whoever marries whoever marries, don't even want to snatch it away! ”

The yin wind blew the white lanterns all over the courtyard, the candles of the lampstand were like tears, and the red autumn bronze felt terrifying.

"The second girl's monthly routine and affairs are never taken care of by the old lady and the old lady." Qingwen in the bedroom complained and waited for the master to change into civilian clothes.

Xiangling helped pack the quilt, and Xue Baochai said: "I want you to talk more, the second sister is married every month, and the head is only a few thousand taels, you can transcribe it." ”

"She doesn't care, we'll just take care of it." Jia Cong is used to it, only changing into a pair of Yixing shoes, and the others shake their heads without changing, and their beard is slightly inched: "Doesn't it mean that you can't wash your filial piety bath, and you can't lose a single beard and hair, that's it, don't change it." ”

Etiquette is so stipulated, but generally do not have to be completely rigid, look at Jia Jing's death, parent-child grandson Jia Zhen Jia Rong immediately took off her filial piety clothes at night, and soaked her sister-in-law to aunt, just like my brother Dong, I don't know the beauty of milk tea girl, change to the "democratic atmosphere" of the United States, and come to a plump beauty vacation.

"You'll be fine with that." Xue Baochai thought so, touched her husband's stubble, and was distressed and funny: "Only with a long beard can you have an official appearance, official authority, and a manly spirit." ”

Jia Cong groped with one hand on the soft back of his wife's fragrant shoulder, touched his face with his forehead, squeezed Shuangfeng, and said with a smile: "What should I do if I can't stand it?" The green grass must not be moistened by rain and dew, and will wither. ”

Xue Baochai pushed it away, her round and pretty face was smooth and flawless, the dark fragrance was compelling, a linen belt around her waist was lined with a curved curve, her bow shoes took two steps tactfully, and her apricot eyes were springy: "Xianggong, as long as you get through it, when the time comes, no matter when, where, or what kind of tricks will be achieved, Sister Bao will listen to you." ”

"Really?" Jia Cong was pleasantly surprised, eager to correct the law on the spot, Zhuge Liang captured Meng and got seven in and seven out, but Xue Baochai ran away early, and Jia Cong became more and more disgusted with the Ding Wei system: "Damn it!" Every time someone picks up a fire, they just can't let it go! ”

I saw someone in the hall, a little girl six-in-one melon skin hat, foot leather boots, a small soap suit, a good jade-faced boy, Jia Cong said: "Sister Yun is here, don't you taboo the third room?" ”

In the old days, the Lingfang ward was taboo for large households, Shi Xiangyun's face was dizzy, and he said strangely: "What is a third room?" I can't stay at home, and what's even more strange is that my aunt and aunt also call me to come over often, which is really a strange thing. ”

"It's okay to come over often, relatives don't move around, and I'm afraid of becoming enemies." Jia Cong deviated from the topic, so he had to go all the way into the park by himself, fortunately, there were Jia Qiang and Jia Yun waiting for him in the middle of the hall, and Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian also came.

During the period, Liu Kang, the eunuch of the inner palace, sent him a private message with the palace secrets, the two were ambiguous, the darkness was Chencang, Jia Cong was caged into the sleeve, his face did not change, he wore the wide sandwich road between the north and the south, and entered the courtyard door to the southwest to set up a banquet in the brocade building.

The important men and women of the clan are here, Jia Cong is pleasing to the eye, open and pleasant, the scenery of the brocade building is beautiful, looking at Zilingzhou in the south, ducks, geese and mandarin ducks are playing, the bamboo rafts are lined up with lotus flowers, and the lotus root can be smelled fresh from a distance, and the northeast is a piece of emerald willow embankment, cuidi pavilion, willow leaf Zhu: "The Grand View Garden is really unique, and it is not bad to find an opportunity to spend the moon in front of this flower." ”

There are only the Xue family, Jia Mu Jia Zheng also attended, Si Qi lotus embroidered orange and so on double the scenery, can not touch meat, show majesty and command the kitchen to make all kinds of pastries, eat flowers, fruits, Jia Cong first talked with men at the outside table, and then talked to the sisters about books and engraving.

The banquet was set up all over the upper floor, and the attacker stood beside Mrs. Wang, ready to be ordered by the ear at any time: "The eldest lady looks very domineering, and the wife takes care of her own body, don't be angry." ”

Mrs. Wang became more and more angry, extremely uncomfortable, Shi Xiangyun was lively and active, the young people were cheering, and the elders were in different moods. It seems that their patriarchal elders are respected and hold the financial power of life and death, but the main field of the center has already been transferred to Jia Cong, and the undercurrent is surging, and I don't know where it is going.
