After working for half a month, by the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the training of Wenchang Xingjun's sentence reading was over.

That night, Jia Dairu and Huang Jin met the account and gave Jia Yun and Jia Qin twenty-one taels of silver, and the remaining silver was divided equally between the two families, removing all kinds of capital, and the family had a net of six hundred and thirty taels.

On the nineteenth day of the lunar month, Jia Rui, Jia Dairu, and Huang Jin came to Dashilar, the largest market in the capital, and began to purchase New Year's goods.

Huang Jin hired a carriage, bought a cart full of New Year's goods, and went home happily for the New Year.

After sending Huang Jin away, Jia Rui and his grandfather came to Kouma City.

Kouma Market, as the name suggests, is a market for population and livestock. Slave sellers, cattle sellers, right here.

"Grandpa, you and grandma are also old, buy an old mother and maid to serve you."

Jia Rui stopped at the front of a room, and an old mother in her forties and a little maid of fifteen or sixteen attracted his attention.

"Fifteen taels of silver for a person, isn't it too expensive?"

With money in his hands, Jia Dairu naturally wants to enjoy the taste of being served. But I'm a little reluctant to spend money.

"Grandpa, it depends on how to settle accounts. Although it costs thirty taels of silver, there are people to serve us, so we don't have to worry about the trivial matters at home. If we are free, we can make more money, don't you think that's the truth? ”

"This time, in less than a month, we earned more than six hundred taels, even if it's just once a year, isn't it very cost-effective?"

"Brother Rui, what you said makes sense. However, your grandmother said that she would keep the money and find a matchmaker to give you a family affair during the Chinese New Year. You're twenty years old, the eldest is not too young, and your grandma and I are still waiting to hold our grandson. ”

Twenty years old is not too young? It seems that I just graduated from high school, so I'm about a freshman or sophomore, right? I haven't wasted enough.

It's just that in this world, if you don't get married at the age of twenty, you are an older single, and there is only one man left.

"Grandpa, what are you and Grandma going to find for me?"

"You don't care about this matter, your grandmother and I will naturally call the shots for you."

Can I ignore my own life's events? You still want to have an arranged marriage with me, old man, you think too simply.

"Grandpa, whose idea is it for us to get rich this time?"

"Naturally, it is your ......, it is your idea, and your marriage is also our decision."

"Okay, you're in charge. It has to be the right door, right? ”

"That's nature."

"In that case, what kind of home can you find?"

"This ......."

Jia Dairu hesitated. Jia Rui didn't give him more time to think, and hurried to follow.

"I'm going to take a scientific examination next year, and after the scientific examination, I still have a big business to do, and I can earn at least four or five thousand taels of silver."

"At that time, I will be a person with meritorious reputation, and if I am an official, our family will be the home of an official eunuch. The family property is thousands of taels, and it can be regarded as a wealthy family, plus our family is still a family of poetry and books, do you say that the door at that time was the same, and the door at this time can be the same? ”

Jia Dairu counted for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh.

"yes, how did I forget about your scientific expedition. What you said makes sense, at that time, we will propose marriage, but we will pick others. I'll go back and tell your grandmother that your marriage will wait and talk about it, and it's better to talk about it after you become an official. ”

"Twenty years old is not young, but waiting a few years is nothing. This time, your grandmother and I will also taste the taste of being served by the lady of the official palace of poetry and calligraphy. ”

I said, old man, what kind of mentality do you have? Why do you think you have the suspicion of being a villain?

You have been patronizing and making money recently, and it is only six hundred taels of silver, and you don't even care about my scientific research.

If I really earn a few thousand taels of silver, maybe you will tell me to make money wholeheartedly, and I don't even have to take the imperial examination.

There really will be a day when a wealthy family and an official family are possible. You have been an old boy all your life, as for the home of poetry and books, forget it.

Therefore, making money should also be rhythmic, not rushed.

If you are only rich and not an official, you are a rich man, and you may not be able to keep it if you have money.

With the big cake drawn by Jia Rui, Jia Dairu happily bought the old mother and the maid.

The old mother's surname is Zhang, and the maid was sold by her parents since she was a child, and she didn't know what her surname was, she only had a nickname, so Jia Rui named her Feng'er.

In the future, when I asked Feng'er to pour tea, I had the feeling of asking Wang Xifeng to pour tea.

Mrs. Zhang and Feng'er were originally in an official house, but because their master committed a crime, their house was raided, and the slaves and maids were betrayed as officials.

The official slaves could not bargain, so they bought two for thirty taels of silver. Like other people's homes, for food, clothing, and housing, Jia Rui's heart softened, so he promised to give the two of them a monthly example of one or two pieces of silver every month.

This month's standard is the same level as the first-class big girls in Jiafu, such as Mandarin Duck, Ping'er, Raider, and Jin Chu'er.

Although Jia Dairu felt a little high, Jia Rui agreed, and it was not easy to say anything in front of the two, so he agreed, paid the money happily, and went through the slavery procedures.

Seeing such favorable conditions, Mrs. Zhang and Feng'er naturally thanked them for their loyalty and followed happily.

When I arrived at the livestock market, I bought a horse, a cow, and a car, and then returned to Dashilar to buy New Year's goods. A cart was loaded, and the four masters and servants went home.

Jia Rui's family originally had a long-term worker Wang San, who was a distant relative of Jia Rui's grandmother's mother's family, and no one in the family was affected by the disaster, so he went here.

In normal times, he is responsible for feeding a donkey and doing some heavy work such as carrying water and chopping wood.

This time, the newly purchased cattle and horses were also handed over to him to serve.

When Mrs. Zhang and Feng'er arrived at the new master's house, they immediately began to carry the New Year's goods under the command of the old lady and entered the role.

"By the way, Brother Rui, Grandma Zhu is still waiting for you in the house, saying that she is looking for you for something."

Grandma Zhu is Jia Zhu's widow Li Kun.

What did she come to me for?

Jia Rui entered the house suspiciously, and saw Li Kun and her maid Suyun.

"I'm sorry, I went to send my uncle home, and I went to the market to buy some New Year's goods, and I told my sister-in-law to wait for a long time. I don't know what advice Sister-in-law Zhu has? ”

"Brother Rui, don't dare to advise, I came here today to ask for something."

"Sister-in-law Zhu has something to do, just tell me."

"Brother Rui, your Wenchang Xingjun sentence reading method is vigorous outside, why did you forget your family?"

Li Kun smiled.

"Sister-in-law Zhu, what advice do you have?"

"I can't say that I can't teach, the girls in the house are also reading, they asked me to come here, and I want to ask Brother Rui to explain to the girls how to read your Wenchang Xingjun sentence. When I came, I had already told the second lady and the ancestor, and they agreed, but I don't know ...... Rui brothers. ”

"I've already told Baoyu and Brother Huan, even Baoyu can explain it."

"Who is Baoyu, you don't know, if he can explain it, the girls will come to you?"

"Since the girls want to learn, I'll explain it. I wonder when it will be convenient for the girls? ”

"How about tomorrow? I'll go back and tell the girls to get ready, right at Baoyu's Qianyun Xuan. ”

"Okay, I'll be there tomorrow."

"I'll send a car to pick you up tomorrow."

"No, I bought a horse, just go by myself, my own family, don't have to be so polite."

The masters of Jiafu traveled, and the men rode horses.

The girls and young daughters-in-law like Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, and Qin Keqing all took the car. Elders like the old ancestor, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing all sat in a sedan chair.

In the past, Jia Dairu rode a donkey when he traveled, and when he was with other masters, it seemed incongruous.

Jia Rui bought a horse this time to change this situation.

As for the ox cart, it was for grandma.

A horse now is equivalent to Jia Rui's private car in his previous life.

Jia Dairu's family of three masters, now all have private cars, and nannies to serve, and they are already a veritable middle-class family in the Dade Dynasty.
