Chapter 345: Republication 5
I didn't know the intentions of Steward Zhang and Steward Lu before, Jia Wei was confused, and now that he heard the intentions, he was even more confused. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Pingyang Bo's Mansion and Wang's Command Mansion actually asked him to write poems, which one is this singing?
But as Steward Zhang continued to talk all the way, he finally realized that Pingyang Bofu and Wang Command Mansion are the same as Shun Wangfu, all have the property of Qinlou Chu Pavilion, Pingyang Bofu owns Guitang, and Wang Command's Mansion owns Yunlou, these two Qinlou Chu Pavilions are the prestigious Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the capital, not under Jinxiangyuan.
In this way, things are clear.
In addition, he also learned that the reason why the third room of Pingyang Bofu sent Steward Zhang to come, and the seventh room of Wang's Command Mansion sent Steward Lu to come, was that the two mansions were respectively managed by the third room and the seventh room to take care of the business of Guitang and Yunlou.
The mothers of Guitang and Yunlou were not like Mother Li of Jinxiangyuan, and they had met him, so the prince of the third room of Pingyang Bofu and the head of the seven-room family of Wang Commander's Mansion simply sent their respective housekeepers over and asked him to write poems on Yuan Xi on their behalf.
The prince of the third room of the Pingyang Bo Mansion and the head of the seventh house of the Wang Command Mansion did not come in person, Jia Wei could naturally understand that he was just worried about being rejected in person and losing face, and through his respective housekeepers, he did not have this worry, in addition, he was only a minor young master of the Jia family after all, and it was not rude for them to send their respective housekeepers to come.
Of course, in addition to Jia Wei's identity as the young master of the Jia family, he also has the identity of a famous person in the capital, if they come in person, they will be more sincere, but Jia Wei doesn't mind.
At this time, he understood the general situation, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, to put it simply, these two housekeepers came, and there was no difference between them and Li's mother, but because they didn't know that Pingyang Bofu and Wang's Command Mansion owned Guitang and Yunlou, they guessed in vain for a long time.
"Steward Zhang, Steward Lu......" Jia Wei looked at the two of them separately, and said with a smile, "Mother Li did come to ask me to write poems on Yuan Xi, but I haven't promised her yet...... If you are one step later than her, it will be even more difficult for me to agree...... Therefore ......" he said, pausing as he pondered the words below.
"President Jia, what are the conditions of Mother Li's Jinxiang Courtyard?" Seeing that Jia Wei's words implied a refusal, Steward Zhang and Steward Lu were a little anxious, I don't know if Jia Wei really wanted to refuse, or to pinch them, they looked at each other, and took advantage of Jia Wei's pause in words, Steward Zhang asked from the side.
"Oh, she did, thank you with a thousand taels of silver."
"A thousand taels of silver? We Guitang gave 1,500 taels. ”
"We have 1,800 taels out of the cloud building......"
"We add another five hundred taels to Guitang, a total of two thousand taels ......"
……
Saying this, Steward Zhang and Steward Lu successively offered a price much higher than Li's mother to buy Jia Wei's Yuanxi poems, in which they not only competed with Li's mother, but also competed with each other.
Before coming to the Yanjing Morning News Office, they were each instructed by the prince of the third room of the Pingyang Bofu and the head of the seventh house of the Wang Command Mansion to deal with this matter flexibly within a certain range, including the use of money, and the amount was not small, so they competed at this time, raising the price higher and higher, and soon raised it to more than three thousand taels.
Jia Wei listened with a smile on his face, and after a while, he made a gesture, stopped their offer, no longer considered, and said straightforwardly, "Steward Zhang, Steward Lu, please go back...... To tell the truth, this time I don't have poetry, I can't make poetry, even my own morning newspaper, I don't plan to write poems, you Qinlou Chu Pavilion invite me, let alone think about it...... Well, it's the same with Mother Li's side, I'll push it off the same ......"
Hearing this, Steward Zhang and Steward Lu couldn't help but stammer, they didn't know what to say, Jia Wei's words left no room at all, they didn't even have to discuss, but when they heard that Jia Wei would push it off even from Mother Li's side, they were finally disappointed, and a little more glad, so, at least there was an explanation when they went back, if Jinxiangyuan got Jia Wei's Yuanxi poems, they would return in vain, and I am afraid they would be regarded as ineffective.
But the two of them are still a little reassured, after all, in addition to Guitang, Yunlou, Jinxiangyuan, there are several other prestigious Qinlou Chu Pavilions in Beijing, if Jia Wei gives poems to one of them, they will also be regarded as ineffective, the two of them will be euphemistically expressed this worry to Jia Wei, and then got Jia Wei's affirmative reply, during the Yuan Xi period, they will not give poems to any Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and the two of them are finally determined.
In fact, what they were worried about was only which prestigious Qinlou Chu Pavilion Jia Wei would give poems, as for the other Qinlou Chu Pavilions, even if they got Jia Wei's poems, they were not a threat, but when Jia Wei said so, they were naturally more at ease.
Sending off Steward Zhang and Steward Lu, Jia Wei returned to the advertising office room.
Then sent Li's mother away for the same non-negotiable reason, Jia Wei sat down on the chair behind the desk case, smiled and shook his head.
He politely refused the request for poems from the three Qinlou Chu Pavilions of Jinxiangyuan, Guitang, and Yunlou, and said that he would not write poems for any Qinlou Chu Pavilion during the Yuan Xi period, not out of fear of offending people, speaking of which, even if he agreed to Jinxiangyuan, the Pingyang Bofu and the Wang Commander's Mansion behind Guitang and Yunlou would not care about this, and vice versa, even if he was not the son of the Jia family, just a grass people, it was the same, after all, this matter was not important, and there was no reason to suppress people with power.
These three have opened attractive price codes, Steward Zhang, Steward Lu opened more than three thousand taels, after returning to the office, Li's mother even opened a higher price code, Jia Wei is certainly not unmoved, with a credible poem, you can exchange for a thousand gold, such cheap things can be done, and the newspaper has been operating at a loss, and recently it is completely relying on the 40,000 taels of silver borrowed from Baochai to operate, if there are three or four thousand taels of silver in the account, it is also gratifying.
In this way, there is no need to worry about offending people, and there is an attractive reward, but in the end he still politely refuses, thinking about fame.
He is now outside, in addition to the identity of the son of the Jia family, he has three other identities, a businessman, a Tzu Chi benevolent, and a talented man.
Needless to say, in business, business, is to make money, good people and talents, is his fame, between making money and fame, he has always had a trade-off, he can use his fame to indirectly promote the morning newspaper, but Yuan Xi Fu poems directly receive remuneration, he is not willing to do it, otherwise it will make people call the name of the copper stinky poet, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Although there were some calligraphers and painters who paid for brushwork, and there were many people in the capital, they were noble and not merchants, so it was taken for granted that since he was a merchant, the situation was completely different, and people would only regard him as vulgar. Of course, if any Qinlou Chu Pavilion has some friendship with him, he might as well write poems for Yuan Xi without being paid, but even if he doesn't, he won't make wedding clothes for others in vain.
So after weighing it, he finally categorically left the matter aside.
After sitting in the advertising office for a while, there were several people from the Qinlou Chu Pavilion who asked to see him one after another, and Jia Wei called the personnel in charge of reception in the logistics department, explained it, and went to Wujin to hide by himself.
