At night, the Yujing Restaurant located in Desheng Street in the south of the city is brightly lit, bustling with people, whether it is the hall on the first floor, or the private room on the second floor and the third floor, all of them are full, and the voices of people are boiling.

Jia Yun, who was wearing a sapphire blue Shu brocade robe, stood in front of the window of the shopkeeper's office on the third floor, looking down with a happy expression.

It is the off-season, and the restaurant business is still so prosperous, as a big cabinet, he is very pleased.

In addition to the advertising effect, it also has a lot to do with his careful management.

He remembered that Jia Wei said that in the short term, the advertising effect may be important, but in the long run, its own operation is the key.

Since September last year, this Yujing restaurant has been open for more than a year, so if it is not well managed, it is impossible to continue to prosper until now.

Of course, the restaurant is running well, Jia Wei did not treat him badly, a year's salary and dividends of three or four hundred taels of silver, in addition, in March this year, he was responsible for preparing for the second Yujing Restaurant in Xicheng, until it opened in June, and Jia Wei directly rewarded him with five hundred taels of silver afterwards.

In total, in more than a year, he got nearly 1,000 taels of silver.

For this, he needless to say that he is grateful to Jia Wei, as his mother said, Jia Wei is really his nobleman.

From leading him to earn the first pot of gold at the beginning, to pointing to Xiaohong, a satisfactory wife, to pulling him after the raw silk shop went bankrupt, it can be said that everything he has now is inseparable from Jia Wei.

He didn't regret rejecting Jia Wei at that time, but that matter had already passed, and he wouldn't have similar thoughts again.

He has clearly realized that following Jia Wei is the right way, not to mention that he is now a father, and a stable and risk-free income is what he urgently needs.

Looking at the window for a while, Jia Yun turned back to the table and sat down, eating tea, while casually taking the recent accounts and flipping through them, after a while, there were a few knocks on the door.

As a big cabinet, it is common for the people below to come over ten or twenty times a day to ask for instructions, Jia Yun didn't care, and said without raising his head, "Come in." ”

When the door opened, he looked up, couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly got up to greet him, "Uncle Bao, why are you here?" ”

The person who came was none other than Jia Wei.

Pulling over a chair and sitting down in front of the desk, Jia Wei smiled and said, "Brother Yun, what I told you a few days ago, did you forget?" ”

"Ah......" Jia Yun was pouring tea for Jia Wei, when she paused, then reacted and said with a smile, "...... How can you forget, tonight, Master Zhang will definitely bring it over, and I am planning to send it to Uncle Bao tomorrow......"

More than ten days ago, Jia Wei asked him to find a craftsman who is good at jewelry making, he quickly found it, Jia Wei handed the other party a few jewelry patterns, agreed to deliver today, he thought it was just an ordinary thing, who knew that Jia Wei actually came in person at night, obviously attached great importance to this.

He was a little curious.

He knew about Jia Wei's sale of jewelry styles at the beginning, but now that Jia Wei is a huge net worth, where will he still point to this little money?

What's more, it's not like this at all, Jia Wei originally sold jewelry patterns, and directly found Jin Fuzhai, but this time he asked him to help find someone, and after meeting, he asked Master Zhang to make jewelry according to the pattern, only make one piece of jewelry for each pattern, and make a contract not to disclose the style.

What the hell is Uncle Bao doing?

Jia Wei glanced at Jia Yun's expression, and couldn't help but smile, although he saw that the other party was curious, he didn't plan to say more, because of the reason, it was not enough to communicate with outsiders.

Speaking of which, according to his previous habits, he will hand over the matter of finding a jeweler to Ye Mingcheng, but now Ye Mingcheng is responsible for befriending Dai Quan and Chen He, and the stakes are very important and should not be distracted, so he thought of Jia Yun, in terms of closeness, Jia Yun is not as good as Ye Mingcheng, and he is also good at inquiring about it, and sure enough, Jia Yun quickly completed the matter and brought someone here.

This old master Zhang was originally a craftsman in a well-known pearl and jade building in the capital, and later when he got older, he quit his job and went home to live his life, but occasionally he would be idle and take on some well-paid work to do.

Jia Wei immediately expressed his satisfaction, as far as this matter is concerned, he just wants to have private contact with this kind of jewelry craftsman, in contrast, although Jin Fu Zhai, Qing Yun Xuan and other jewelry buildings are more efficient, and they may not leak the style, but it is difficult to guarantee that this news will not be spread, just like when he sold jewelry patterns in Jin Fu Zhai twice, and finally made everyone known.

He is now an official of the imperial court, and he is different from the past, low-key and introverted, which is the king.

This matter seems to be ordinary, but it is inevitably distorted when it is passed down from the past, and it is very likely that it will be said that he is selling jewelry again, which will undoubtedly damage his current image as an official of the imperial court.

The two sat opposite each other, eating tea and talking, waiting for Master Zhang to arrive.

Jia Wei never mentioned the topic of jewelry again, and Jia Yun didn't inquire about it.

After waiting for about half an hour, Old Master Zhang had not yet arrived, worried that Jia Wei would not be able to wait, so Jia Yun proposed to go down the building, and Jia Wei readily agreed. The two of them walked out of the office and slowly walked down the east staircase.

The hall of Yujing Restaurant is huge, not inferior to the area of any restaurant in Beijing, with seventy or eighty tables of seats, which still looks spacious. Between the seats, there are many small rings that sit and sit, incense women who offer incense, people who play for entertainment, and wanderers who sell some home-made sobering goods, which is not seen in Xinghualou.

Xinghualou is the characteristic operation of Jiangnan Qingyun, the style is elegant, and will not let these market fashions enter it, Yujing Restaurant is different, it is completely popular taste, and it is good to be lively, so it is not rejected.

From east to west, just walked to the position of the gate, there is a pair of young men and women singing next to a table here, the man pulls the three strings, the woman sings, the three strings are beautiful, and the singing is also tactful, Jia Wei stood with Jia Yun, when his eyes were cast, Jia Wei was surprised, although the woman didn't know, but the man was clearly the servant next to Ji Qian back then.

When he was in Tongshan, he had seen it and left a vague impression.

He also knew that the name of this little servant was called Dong'er, firstly, he seemed to have heard Ji Qian call him so, and secondly, because of the dispute between the newspaper at that time, Ye Mingcheng had been watching Ji Qian for a while, and had installed eyes and ears in Ji's mansion, and he knew a lot about Ji Qian's situation. Therefore, the comparison between the two cannot be wrong.

But how did this little maid fall to the point of singing in a restaurant now?

Even if Ji Ruowang became a criminal minister a while ago, dismissed from his post as a citizen, and the court was defeated, it would not be like this.

With questions, after singing a song, Jia Wei beckoned them to come over, and then took them back to the shopkeeper's office on the third floor.

"Do you recognize me?" As soon as he entered the room, Jia Wei asked Dong'er.

"Recognize, you are Jia Gongzi." Dong'er replied with a bow. After Tong Shan, he didn't forget Jia Wei.

"This little lady is ......"

"She is the villain's wife Chunxue...... Chunxue, I haven't seen Jia Gongzi soon......"

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly crouched down and was blessed.

Jia Wei raised his hand and told them to get up.

Chunxue, this name happened to be familiar to him, Ye Mingcheng mentioned it, it was a maid in Ji Qian's house, and she was ravaged by Ji Qian on weekdays.

Of course, Dong'er is no different, according to Ye Mingcheng, although he is Ji Qian's child, it is common for him to be beaten and scolded.

This pair of hard-working people by Ji Qian's side are now out of the cage and have become husband and wife?

Jia Wei was even more puzzled, no longer noisy at the moment, and asked bluntly.

Dong'er said something.

It turned out that after Ji Ruowang was dismissed, Ji Qian, who lost his father's grace, drank heavily all day long, and a few days ago, under drunkenness, caused a fire, which not only burned down a house in the house, but also buried himself and several subordinates.

Afterwards, the Ji Mansion dismissed all the subordinates around Ji Qian who escaped with their lives and released them.

He and Chunxue have always sympathized with each other, took care of each other, and became husband and wife after they came out.

After hearing this, Jia Wei nodded and sighed.

It's not that he lamented Ji Qian, this person has a bad character and is not worthy of sympathy, he lamented that the world is changing, and he is unpopular, and the Ji Mansion, which was once Xuanhe, fell into ruin in a blink of an eye, which can be seen from Ji Qian's decadent Tang Dynasty death.

After a while, waving his emotions away, Jia Wei looked at Dong'er and Chunxue in front of him.

This pair of handsome people suffered from Ji Qian's side before, and now although they have escaped from the cage and become husband and wife, they are living by singing, and it is obviously difficult to live.

But it moved the heart of compassion.

It's just not good to take them in.

Even if Xiangling's courtyard was in need of a capable subordinate, he still didn't consider it.

The reason is the same as the matter of jewelry, which is not only the identity of the imperial court official, but also low-key and introverted, and it is good not to cause a topic.

The whole capital knows his old grudge with Ji Qian, and now that Ji Qian is dead, he quickly took in the other party's maid, and he can't predict how many topics will arise in this.

Naturally, he could also take out a few dozen taels of silver to help Dong'er and Chunxue, and let them make a living, but it was still inappropriate.

The market is complicated, with the kindness and simplicity of Dong'er and Chunxue, carrying dozens of taels of silver, it is a curse rather than a blessing.

groaned slightly, suddenly his heart moved, and then he opened his mouth to Dong'er and Chunxue, "I don't think it's a way for you to make a living by singing, I have an idea, let you live a peaceful life from now on, I don't know if you want to forgive?" ”

Dong'er and Chunxue glanced at each other in surprise, "Master Jia, please speak." ”

Jia Wei pointed at Jia Yun, "This Jia official is the big cabinet here, are you willing to go to his mansion to do things?" You don't have to be a slave, the monthly money is acceptable, and the food and accommodation are naturally his, isn't it better than you singing in a restaurant? ”

When he said this, Dong'er and Chunxue were stunned, and Jia Yun was also stunned.

Dong'er and Chunxue both felt a little unexpected, but Jia Yun was caught off guard and had no preparation.

But after being stunned for a moment, both sides couldn't help but nod.

Dong'er and Chunxue were originally born as subordinates, and when they left the Ji Mansion and went to another person's house to be subordinates, what is the difficulty? This kind of hard days of singing, they are really afraid. The Jia official in front of him is the big cabinet of the Yujing Restaurant, and his family is solid, needless to say, going to his house to do things should be much better than the current days.

What's more, you don't have to be a slave, you are still free, you really can't stay, you can leave at any time, and you don't have to worry about being humiliated and angry by Ji Qian's side like before.

Jia Yun felt that Dong'er and Chunxue were both maids and little maids from a big family like Jifu, and they were not far behind, and they all looked smart and handsome, although there were three maids in his family, and there was no shortage of manpower at the moment, but Xiaohong was pregnant with another child, and there would be two children in a few months.

They were interested in each other, and then they only talked briefly, and the matter was quickly settled.

Jia Yun asked the two of them to stay here, and went back with him at night, Dong'er and Chunxue immediately agreed, they are now renting a small courtyard where more than a dozen people live, and they don't have any belongings, so they don't have to think about it at all.

Time passed for a while, and when it was time to be in charge, a steward finally led Master Zhang up.

As soon as they met, Master Zhang handed over a box to Jia Wei, "Master Jia, please inspect the goods." ”
