Chapter 375: Turning Hands into Clouds 6
When Jia Wei heard this, he glanced at Baochai.
No wonder this woman only pushes and doesn't know, it turns out that she is talking about her brother's relatives. She is dignified and self-respecting, and has always been reluctant to take the initiative to talk about such topics, which he knows very well.
Seeing him coming, Baochai turned around with a smile and chatted with Baoqin, avoiding his gaze.
Seeing this, Jia Wei didn't feel a smile, and then said to Aunt Xue, "Auntie, don't say that, although I may not be able to help with Brother Xue's family affairs, I am willing to do my best, and I will help pay attention to it in the future, aunt, please rest assured." ”
"Okay, okay, aunt will thank you in advance." Aunt Xue nodded with a smile.
Jia Wei pressed the corner of his forehead.
He could understand Aunt Xue's motherly heart.
The reason why I found myself was nothing more than the idea of casting a wide net, among which, naturally, because I was an idea, could do things, and was reliable, unlike those gentlemen who Xue Pan befriended, most of them couldn't count on anything else except eating, drinking, and having fun.
Of course, maybe he ...... The nickname of the young master of the matchmaker also contributed a lot, making Aunt Xue feel that he was naturally willing to be a matchmaker.
As everyone knows, he just tried his best to avoid the tragedy of the girls in the two mansions because of the Red Mansion complex in his previous life.
As for pulling the strings for Xue Pan, he didn't even think about it.
But then again, since Aunt Xue opened her mouth, Baochai also meant this, it was impossible for him to shirk it, not to mention that he still owed them a lot of favors, a full 56,000 cash, and he couldn't borrow it elsewhere.
After thinking about it, Jia Wei opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what aunt wants from the woman?" ”
When Aunt Xue saw him asking, she was obviously interested, and couldn't help but say happily, "Baoyu, Aunt doesn't have too many requirements, as long as she has an innocent background and a good character, almost the same people can make it, we can't afford to climb high in the big family, and we don't dare to ask for it in the small family." ”
Jia Wei nodded, marrying a daughter from a high door and marrying a wife from a low door has always been a custom, and there are few exceptions, it seems that Aunt Xue thinks so too.
Xue Zhen in the second room of the Xue family married Mrs. Xing's niece Xing Xiuyan.
Although Mrs. Xing's maiden family is not a small family in Jia Yu's mouth, it is actually a family eunuch's house, but the family is just in the middle of the road, but for people like the Jia family and the Xue family, it is undoubtedly a low door.
……
……
After talking about business, Jia Wei chatted with Aunt Xue for a while, and then he was polite, and Baochai and Baoqin also entered the garden with him.
The cool breeze was blowing, the three of them walked together, and now it was summer, and the clothes were thin, although the Xue sisters were the daughters of a big family, and they had a good family education, and they wore at least a single shirt, a close-fitting coat and a bandeau inside the coat, and the skirt was also covered with silk pants, but the materials were all light and thin, so they easily outlined each other's figures.
Baochai has a plump body, a round chest and hips, a thin waist, and a gourd-shaped shape, which is called fat where it should be fat, thin where it should be thin, and the curve is very attractive.
Baoqin's body is slender, and the curve of her chest and hips is not small, combined with her temperament and appearance, as well as the age when she has just entered the cardamom years, it can be said that the fiber fit is impeccable.
Of course, compared with their sisters, Daiyu's posture also has a sense of beauty, graceful and delicate, quiet and delicate, looking at the eyes, it is a pitiful feeling.
It's like a ring of fat swallows and thin swallows, each with its own beauty.
Came to Yihong Courtyard, at this time the sisters' gathering had dispersed, after all, Li Kun was not there, and the three of them were missing, leaving Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun The four of them, Yingchun and Xichun didn't like to talk, so they naturally couldn't be lively, and they dispersed early.
Baochai and Baoqin didn't stay long, and took their respective maids out and went to Hengwuyuan.
Jia Wei sent it out, then turned back and came to the east ear room.
When Xiaohong saw him come in, she almost burst into tears.
At this moment, the hour has passed a little (eight o'clock in the evening), even if it is summer, at this hour, many people have rested, if Jia Wei does not return, she can only leave, and wait until tomorrow, she does not know if she still has the courage to come, begging Jia Wei for help.
The two sat down, and Jia Wei motioned for her to speak.
It was too late, and Xiaohong didn't care about anything, so she didn't bother like before, and told the matter again at the moment.
"Brother Yun'er's raw silk business has collapsed?"
Jia Wei frowned, during the 400,000th birthday of Emperor Jianyuan, the Japanese state, Francois and other Chaohe missions carried out huge exploration and trade with the Great Xia Dynasty, and the morning newspaper naturally also published it, but he only knew a little about it, and did not pay much attention to it, let alone think of Jia Yun.
Now I heard that Jia Yunsheng's silk business was lost, but I was very surprised.
"Second master, the noble person you can think of now is you, except for the second master, no one can help with this...... The maid also knew that the husband didn't know what to do, and rejected the newspaper errand given by the second master, this time the maid didn't dare to come to the door to ask for help, but he thought that the second master had always been generous and didn't care about the matter, so he still thickened his face and came to beg the second master...... "Xiaohong said the reason for the matter, followed by a pleading speech.
Then, two eyes full of expectation fell on Jia Wei's face, not for a moment.
"You're a sharp mouth."
Jia Wei listened while groaning, and after a while, he had a little calculation in his heart, and at this time he stretched out his finger and said to Xiaohong, "...... Do you think that if you squeeze me with words, I won't care about it? You came here today just to borrow a sum of money from me, but you think badly, I won't lend you a penny......
Before she finished speaking, Xiaohong's expression darkened for a moment, and the whole person was stunned.
She came to Yihong Courtyard, but she came with hope, and now Jia Wei refused, as if pouring a basin of cold water on her head.
If Jia Wei can't borrow money here, which one can she count on?
Last night, she told Xianggong that she wanted to borrow a sum of money and go home so that he could do another business.
That's it, that's it, my father and mother gave me forty taels of silver, so I used this money to reluctantly give the minister a small grocery store.
It's just Bao Erye...... I don't think about his uncle and nephew, but I don't think about her servant, no matter what, she has also served him for all these years, and she has no merit and hard work, so why don't she miss the old relationship between master and servant at all.
Thinking about it, in addition to the loss in her expression, there was also a touch of resentment.
"Heh, why are you looking at me like this, I haven't finished my words yet......" Jia Wei laughed, "...... I said that I won't lend you a penny of silver, which is true, but I didn't say that I won't help you...... Brother Yun'er, who rejected my errand at the beginning, and now let him come over to me as an errand, he is a monkey, I am a Buddha, and I can rely on him, after all, I can't escape from my palm......"
"Second Master ......"
Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, and then cried with joy, Jia Wei didn't care about the previous suspicions, and was willing to pull the princess.
Listening to Jia Wei's hatred and hatred, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Second master, the servant kowtowed to you."
In gratitude, Xiaohong knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Wei a few times, and the eyebrows on the side also knelt down and kowtowed.
"Get up, get up." Seeing that she was pregnant, Jia Wei hurriedly left her seat to support her, and said at the same time, "After you go back, let Brother Yun come to the newspaper office to see me tomorrow in the afternoon." However, this time I arranged for him not to be an errand for the newspaper, but the shopkeeper of the restaurant, a few months later, I want to open another restaurant, and he will be the shopkeeper, and now let him go to Xinghualou to learn the affairs of the restaurant shopkeeper from Pan Youan and Si Qi and his wife. ”
"The servant wrote it down."
"Also, you told him that during the period of Xinghualou, the salary was only five hundred yuan, and after that, he became the shopkeeper, which was two taels of silver, and as for the dividends, it would not be less, three or four hundred taels ......of silver a year."
"Yes. The servant thanked the second master for his grace! ”
Xiaohong's face changed happily, and she had to kneel down and kowtow again.
Although Jia Wei's errand this time is not as good as the last time, the director of the issuance department last time was a salary of five taels per month and a dividend of two or three thousand taels of dry shares per year, but after all, he missed it, and he couldn't get it anymore.
This time, the shopkeeper's errand is also very good.
Not only do you not have to pay your own capital, but the income is comparable to that of a raw silk shop.
What else could she hope for, it was much better than she could have imagined!
Jia Wei hurriedly stopped her from kneeling down again, and said with a smile, "That's it, you go back and tell Brother Yun'er, if he refuses again, I can ignore him from now on." ”
Xiaohong knew that he was joking, how could he refuse in such a situation at the moment, so she also smiled coquettishly, "The second master is too elevated to him, if he wants to refuse, the little maid will beat him with a stick!" ”
……
……
The hour was deep, and Jia Wei ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and send Xiaohong's master and servant back.
After washing up for a while, I went back to the bedroom to rest.
Before going to bed, he thought about Jia Yun again and couldn't help but smile.
At present, there is still a lack of talents under him, especially Jia Yun, who is a relative of his own family, and he has even fewer skills.
In the second half of the year, he plans to open a large restaurant with a north-south flavor, which is different from the characteristic operation of Xinghualou, which is also a matter of the previous plan.
However, whether it is the location, the name of the store, or the shopkeeper, it has not been decided, and now it is just right for Jia Yun to be the shopkeeper, as for the shopkeeper of the Xinghualou chain store, it is not very suitable, after all, you have to often deal with Baochai, Daiyu and other sisters, although they are relatives of the house, but Jia Yun is an adult man, and he is married, and the two sides are in contact too often, which is not free from etiquette.
Jia Yun's salary will be higher than that of Pan Youan and Si Qi, and the dividends of dry shares will be much more.
But the north-south flavor of the big sprinkler building will also open a chain in the future, and Pan Youan will be transferred to be the shopkeeper at that time, and he will be in charge alone, and the salary and dividends will naturally be on par with Jia Yun, so Pan Youan and Si Qi have nothing to complain about.
Since then, the salary and dividends of the shopkeeper of Xinghualou will also increase, which is the same as that of the north-south flavor restaurant.
Although this move is different from person to person, but looking at Jia Yun's contribution when he made his first pot of gold, Jia Wei still decided to do it.
