When she came to Sister Feng's courtyard, the little girl outside saw it, hurriedly opened the curtain, and passed the word inside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The sound of broken footsteps sounded in the house, and Ping'er greeted him with a smile, "Second Master Bao is coming quickly, please come in the house." With that, he took Jia Wei to Sister Feng's bedroom.

Sister Feng was still eating, and as soon as Jia Wei came in, she smiled and beckoned Shangkang to sit next to her, and Jia Wei naturally followed her and did so.

Sister Feng gave birth to a very charming face, with curved willow eyebrows, Danfeng eyes with slightly upward slanted eyes, and a charming charm that is unforgettable at a glance between the eyebrows. She is six or seven years old, and the two are both aunts and cousins, as well as cousins and sisters-in-law, and their relationship is so close.

She was eating here, talking to Jia Wei casually there, and it didn't take long for someone to come in and remove the cup, and then make tea.

"Brother Bao drinking tea."

"Okay, sister."

Jia Wei picked up the teacup, took two sips, and put it down.

His predecessor played with Sister Feng when he was a child, sometimes Baoyu went to the Wang family, sometimes Sister Feng came to the Jia family, and they used to call each other, and after Sister Feng got married, they didn't change their words, so the continuation of the sister and brother.

"Brother Bao, he smoked very quickly this year, and he has become more calm, but he has grown up, not to mention a few years ago, two or three months ago, he saw me, and he was still tired of me!" Sister Feng put one hand on Jia Wei's shoulder, looked at it with a smile, and then turned her head and smiled at Ping'er.

"No, how could I sit so quietly before, like a little leather monkey, it's good not to eat the rouge on my grandmother's mouth." Ping'er also pursed her lips and smiled.

"Now he doesn't give him food if he wants to, he's grown so tall, he's almost taller than me, what has he become!" As she spoke, Sister Feng glanced at Jia Wei with a smile, and Gege laughed.

Jia Wei rubbed her nose, sure enough, it was Feng Lazi, there was nothing she didn't dare to joke, she was her brother-in-law.

For Sister Feng, the intimacy is there, and he is emotionally close to her. She is now in charge of the inner house, the old lady and the wife are basically decentralized, and the daily life of hundreds of people in the inner house, from the master to the next person, she should be properly arranged, capable and skillful, maybe snobbish, and she has not done any bullshit things, but it is normal, like Ping'er and Mandarin Duck, the status is high and good, after all, there are very few.

Governing the inner house, in ordinary people is not difficult, in the general large family is also so-so, but for the Jia family such a meritorious family, and in the capital, it is very different, usually deal with their own affairs, although there are thousands of things, after all, it is just a small matter, ushering in to send is a big thing, the inner house ushered in the family members are quite large families, noble ladies, daughters and the like, among which there are many princes, princesses, high-ranking officials' families, this kind of family interaction, seems to be random and trivial, But it can really affect the relationship between each other's families, and although the topics discussed are mostly women's topics, they also convey to each other from time to time that men are not good to say that they need women to convey tactfully.

Any casual entertainment, all of which need to be decent and comfortable in line with their status, do not leak, and socialize well, they can deepen the relationship between the two families through their internal dependents, and if they do not entertain well, they can only cause estrangement. For now, some entertainments require the appearance of old ladies and wives in terms of etiquette, but most of these entertainments basically fall on Sister Feng. Naturally, there is no need to say much about her ability.

Among the grandchildren and daughters-in-law, Jia Wei's eldest sister-in-law in the second room has no ability, Jia's mother naturally asked Sister Feng to come over as an assistant, as Sister Feng's aunt, Mrs. Wang has no opinion, saying that she is an assistant, and later she basically delegated power. Sister Feng's husband Jia Lian is just stained with her light and participates in the affairs of the second room, but he is also in charge of trivial matters outside, and his power position is not comparable to Sister Feng, and there is not much oil and water.

From the perspective of Jia Wei and the two generations, Sister Feng only manages a few hundred people on the surface, but she can freely maneuver among the noble ladies and daughters of various families, maintain a close relationship with these family members, and even do a much better job than Mrs. Wang.

"Brother Bao, with the relationship between our sister and brother, I won't go around and around when I talk to you." After making fun of Jia Wei, Sister Feng began to get down to business, and offered to borrow more than 30,000 taels of silver tickets in his hand for a time limit of two months.

Although it was expected, Jia Wei still didn't expect her to have such a big appetite.

Stunned, he kept a smile on his face, and his fingers couldn't help but tap lightly on the kang table in front of him.

He naturally knew what Sister Feng was doing with the 30,000 taels of silver bills, it was nothing more than lending money, which was a money-making method that all levels of society were quite keen on, ordinary people lending, the risk was greater, people with government backgrounds or various social backgrounds were less risky, and most of the people who chose were high-interest loans, with five or six cents of interest, not to mention gambling houses and the like, unlike lending, it was simply a money grab.

Sister Feng's loan is basically more than five or six cents, 10,000 taels of silver, which is five or six thousand taels a year, and an average of four or five hundred taels a month.

The object of the loan is naturally particular, and only those who have a house or land or other equivalent super-value mortgages are enough. The Jia family has a strong background, and generally speaking, they will recover the loan and make money, but it does not mean that there is no risk, if the borrower secretly mortgages the property to several families at the same time, and only one of these families needs to be equal to the power of the Jia family, then all the loans will not be recovered.

In case Sister Feng can't collect the loan, he can only follow the bad luck, more than 30,000 silver tickets, that is, take and redeem, which is equivalent to cash silver, although Sister Feng has been in charge of a lot of silver in recent years, and her wealth is rich, but a considerable part of it has flowed to her mother's house, more than 30,000 taels of cash, Jia Wei estimates that she can't take it out.

Even so, he naturally wouldn't easily agree to lend it to her.

But he can't refuse her with the same excuse of rejecting Jia Yu, lending Jia Yu is a meat bun and beating a dog, and it is impossible to get it back at all, he can be perfunctory; Lending to Sister Feng is just a matter of risk, not to mention that Sister Feng has always wanted to save face, if she refuses her, I am afraid that the relationship will be much weaker in the future.

She is her mother's niece, she was also married by the Wang family, she is a natural ally in the Jia family, and she is also a two-layer intimate relationship with him, and it is really difficult for him to refuse the first time she speaks.

was groaning, Sister Feng smiled, "Hey, it seems that this matter has embarrassed Brother Bao, so it's okay if my sister didn't say it." ”

These words turned retreat into advance, urging Jia Wei, Jia Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he had to say, "Where is it, my sister speaks, I naturally don't have a second word." ”

By this time he had an idea, and he could barely handle it.

Seeing that he agreed, Sister Feng immediately smiled like a flower, "Brother Bao, to tell you the truth, I don't take advantage of you, you lend me this money, I will make a profit outside, and I will give you half of it, you don't have to do anything, just wait to get the money." ”

"Sister, you can get the money yourself, I don't want it, but I can't borrow so much from you, I can only borrow you 18,000 taels, and I still have some use for the rest of the money, I hope my sister will understand."

Jia Wei estimated that Sister Feng's cash of about 20,000 taels could still be taken out, with her mind, the silver in the family and the silver borrowed from him could not be only given to one borrower, for the sake of insurance, it would also be divided into several parts, even if one or two places were at risk, they could ensure that the other few places were safe and profitable. Therefore, even if she lost all the money he lent and recovered the silver money in several other places, she would naturally be able to repay the eighteen thousand taels.

As for whether she will not pay it back, Jia Wei is not worried about this at all.

If this is the case, he only needs to talk to the old lady and the wife, and she will have to pay back the money obediently. Of course, this is just a hypothesis, and with her cleverness, she will not rely on his money.

This is different from Jia Yu, Jia Yu is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he only borrows two or three thousand taels when he opens his mouth, which is really bad, and he is not good at what he is like an elder for this bit of silver.

Hearing Jia Wei say this, Sister Feng said with a sneer, "What is inconsiderate or inconsiderate, will my sister be difficult for you, 18,000 is very good, and I will pay you back in two months!" But he immediately stopped mentioning the matter of giving Jia Weili money.

She is very satisfied with this result, Jia Wei doesn't want to make money, she actually earns more.

As for Jia Wei's heart, she naturally sees it clearly, she is a smart person, and she will not complain about Jia Wei because of this, but she appreciates it a little.

"Okay, I'll send the money when I get back. My sister is waiting in the house. ”

Jia Wei left Sister Feng's yard, returned to the garden, took the silver ticket, handed it to Sister Feng, and then went out of the second gate, went to Li Gui to get fishing tackle, and planned to fish in the Qinfang River tonight.
