Chapter 84: Waves 3
It doesn't matter what Daiyu does to him, even if he is idle, naturally, if Jia Wei can make some achievements, she will be happy for him, and she will be happy for herself...... She wanted to listen to this answer, purely out of curiosity, and at this moment she listened to it, pursed her lips and smiled, as if she believed it and seemed to not believe it.

Baochai listened to this answer and smiled.
In the afternoon, when she heard about this, she thought of what Jia Wei said in her house that day, in fact, Jia Wei had already told her in advance, but it was more subtle. As she thought that day, she only felt a little sorry, and nothing else.
It was difficult for her to guess whether Jia Wei's interest was true or false, but the other party's answer was quite clever, which made her like it a little.
Yingchun is introverted and shy, but after listening to it, he wanted to persuade Jia Wei to say a few words, but he was embarrassed to speak, and stood there thinking tangledly.
Xichun is young, and he is devoted to Buddhism, and has always been indifferent to external objects, even if he is a little curious about Jia Wei's abandonment of studying and doing business, after hearing the answer, he will ignore it.
Although there are many children of the Jia family who drop out of school and do other things, Jia Wei is different, he has made rapid progress in his studies recently, everyone can see it, and he can make a difference in the imperial examination.
When she heard the answer at this time, she felt that Jia Wei's move was too ridiculous, how could she casually give up her studies for an interest, as the eldest sister-in-law, she couldn't help but say a few words to him, "...... Uncle is still very thoughtful, not for himself, but also for the sake of the old lady, the old man, and the lady, I heard that they are all very angry about you...... In two days, you should go to the school, as soon as the book is dropped, it will be difficult to pick it up. ”
She is a daughter-in-law, and she calls her husband and brother a generation lower, and calls her son her, so she calls Jia Wei "uncle".
She said this, and before Jia Wei could speak, Jia Lan, who was clinging to her skirt, said, "Yes, Uncle Bao, you are so good at school, even Mr. Zhao is full of praise for you, you better continue to go to school." ”
"Uncle Bao is fourteen years old this year, and he is excellent in his studies, so he won't take the road of the imperial examination if it's too late...... Brother Lan, you have to study well, and in the future, you will come back from the middle jinshi, and you will be covered with lintels. ”
Jia Wei smiled and touched Jia Lan's head, Jia Lan was seven or eight years old, very cute, like Baoyu when he was a child, with beautiful facial features, and a fat face, like a red apple, of course, after Baoyu developed, he smoked a little, and his face became handsome.
“…… Confucius was fifteen and aspired to learn...... Uncle Bao, you're only fourteen years old, why are you late......?"
"I didn't say that I won't turn the book anymore, but I won't take the exam."
"But...... But ......"
"But Confucius didn't have a scientific expedition at that time."
Jia Wei argued with him seriously, and took the opportunity to never answer Li Kun's words.
Baochai Daiyu greeted the spring, explored the spring, and cherished the spring.
Tanchun said, "In my opinion, the second brother gave up studying and doing business, which is not a bad thing, people are valuable in self-reliance, and self-reliance is valuable in self-knowledge, only self-knowledge can be self-reliant, since the second brother has a strong interest in business, but can do something." ”
"Thank you, third sister."
Jia Wei thanked him, so far, Tanchun is the first person in the family to support him, and it is such a very convincing word, I am afraid that Li Kun will not be able to refute it.
He knows the atmosphere of exploring spring, which is different from ordinary little women, and as soon as he speaks, he has his own mind.
Speaking of which, Xiangyun also has an unusual little woman, but there are still differences between the two, Xiangyun likes Wei and Jin demeanor, free and uninhibited, maverick; Tanchun is not a maverick, she is generous and open-minded.
In terms of appearance, she is also beautiful and handsome, looking forward to Shenfei, the essence of Wencai, and forgetting the vulgar when she sees it. Among the three sisters, they are the most conspicuous.
Jia Wei and her get along well with each other, occasionally help her buy some gadgets outside, and she also makes exquisite handicrafts from time to time, such as sachets, wraps and other gifts to Jia Wei.
At this time, seeing her standing up to speak for him and blocking Li Kun, Jia Wei was grateful. Although Li Kun has good intentions, it is contrary to his plans, it is still the same as the elders, and what he needs now is to support him like Tanchun, not to stand on the side of the elders like Li Kun.
Of course, this can only be a member of the family, Baochai and Daiyu, after all, they are relatives, so it is not good to say much about this matter.
Li Kun saw that Jia Wei only thanked Tanchun and did not answer his own words, and he also knew in his heart that this little uncle still refused to change his mind at the moment, so he smiled and was silent.
After entering the garden, Jia Wei invited everyone to sit in his courtyard.
Xichun wanted to copy a Buddhist scripture, and Li Kun wanted to take Jia Lan back to study, and they went back to their respective courtyards together.
Bao, Dai, Ying, and Tan came to Yihong Courtyard with Jia Wei.
On the way from the gate of the courtyard to the entrance to the house, everyone was still talking, and at this time Jia Wei took the initiative to mention that he had earned more than 30,000 taels of silver, he felt that this matter might be revealed tomorrow, so it was better to tell them first, so as not to let them misunderstand that he had reservations about them and was not close enough, and besides, these maids in the house did not know anything except for attacking people, so it was good to listen to them together.
Saying this, and then entered the house, but at this moment Bao Dai and the others' expressions are a little changed, they are the daughters of large families, and they must be housemothers when they marry after marriage, so they will carry out systematic training in the field of housekeeping before marriage, including bookkeeping and accounting, this kind of training generally begins at the age of eleven or twelve, and Bao Dai and others are no exception, and they are sensitive to money. On weekdays, Daiyu even casually estimated the entry and exit accounts of the Rong Mansion with Jia Wei, and decided that the Rong Mansion is now unable to make ends meet.
At present, Jia Wei mentioned that he had earned more than 30,000 taels of silver, which was converted into various values in their minds, and various references, comparisons, and estimates were made, without exception, they felt that even in a family like the Jia family, this amount of silver was considerable.
The income of the two prefectures has two major parts, one is the land rent of the grange and the other is the rental of the house, both of which are scattered in various places, both in the north and south of Beijing, and outside the customs. The annual income of Ningfu is about 670,000 taels, and that of Rongfu is about twice as much, 1340,000 taels, a total of about 200,000 taels, and if it is spread out every month, it is nearly 20,000 taels of income a month.
In this way, it is estimated that more than 30,000 taels of silver is roughly equivalent to the income of two governments for two months.
The ability of one person to create this wealth in a month cannot but shock them very much in any case.
The four of them, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to express my feelings at the moment for a while, and I vaguely feel that with such business talents, it is really nothing if I don't study.
It was Tanchun who smiled first, "Second brother, I said that you can do something, but I didn't expect you to do something, but I want to congratulate the second brother here." ”
"Congratulations on accepting it, reciprocating the peach, and in the future, whenever I see any exquisite gadgets, I will definitely buy them all and give them to my sister."
"Okay?"
"That's it."
The two of them laughed, Yingchun also came over to congratulate at this time, she was going to persuade Jia Wei, but now she knows the amount of money Jia Wei makes, especially after listening to Tanchun's words before and after, she changed her mind, thinking that he is also very good in business, and the elders don't have to ask him to do anything.
She is pure-hearted, introverted and shy, has always had no opinions, she heard the attitude of the elders before, she followed the plan to persuade Jia Wei, listened to Tanchun's words, and felt that Jia Wei is also a good choice for business, after hesitating for a while, finally said the words of congratulations.
In this regard, Jia Wei was naturally pleasantly surprised, and now Yingchun also supports him, and he has more strength invisibly, although he understands that with Yingchun's weak character, it is impossible to say anything for him in front of the elders, but it is good not to follow the opinions of the elders, it is always beneficial to him. Tanchun may be able to speak for him in front of his elders, and of course it is what he expects.
One thing is deadlocked, not giving in to each other, in fact, it is equivalent to tug-of-war, the combination of various factors, which side is getting stronger, there will be a chance to win, and it is the same when it comes to him, although the position of Tanchun and Yingchun on this matter is insignificant, but there are more such people, it will imperceptibly affect the attitude of the elders from all aspects, so that things will develop in the direction of him.
Seeing that Ying and Tan had the same attitude, Bao Dai and Bao Dai both congratulated Jia Wei afterwards.
They can only talk about it here, and when Li Kun admonishes Jia Wei, they can't object. After all, they are just relatives living here, and in such internal affairs of the Jia family, especially major affairs, they usually only talk about them in private, and it is impossible to get involved in public, otherwise it would be unwise.
Of course, they have a lot of ideas at the moment, and Jia Wei's outstanding performance outside of school surprised them all.
Baochai has determined that after Jia Wei opened his mind, he is a very extraordinary man, marrying him in this life, raising his eyebrows, husband and children, with his ability and his own ability, there will be no problem in the affairs of the outside and the affairs of the house, in his spare time, sit together, play chess, guess riddles, drink a few cups with him, talk to each other, imagine the past, it should be quite a happy day.
“…… Jin Yu Liang Yuan. ”
Secretly thinking in his heart, Baochai's jade-like face was flushed, and his eyes were overflowing like autumn water.
Daiyu naturally has another idea, since childhood, childhood sweethearts, ears and temples, unconsciously in love with each other, for his excellence itself, or studies or business or other aspects, she is happy for him, she herself is happy, but for some of the external things brought by excellence, such as fame, wealth, etc., she does not value, there are these without these, she also treats him as before.
But through these, there are other things that are more important to her, but she can't ignore it, her parents are dead, she lives here, and no one makes decisions for her in marriage, although the old lady vaguely has the intention of promising her to Jia Wei, but the situation is delicate, and it can't be taken seriously, she can only hope for Jia Wei herself. If Jia Wei is outstanding and has some achievements, even if he has the order of his parents, he can have a little autonomy, and it may be impossible to choose her directly, but he can always be critical of other women in his parents' order, and so on, his parents are helpless, and their marriage is not without any expectations.
Fate is often inexplicable, since she was a child, her parents died one after another, she is also unthinkable, she can not change, but in the matter of marrying, she feels that she can do something, she and Jia Wei have no guesses, until now, they are familiar with each other, especially these days, Jia Wei has brought her countless pleasures and joys, making her more attached, she is hard to imagine, she will leave him, marry another man who is completely unfamiliar, never see each other in this life, she thinks she will only marry Jia Wei in this life, if not, I'd rather learn from Miaoyu to be a sister-in-law.
On the other hand, the maids in Jia Wei's house began to be coquettish, nothing more than blaming Jia Wei for hiding from them and making more than 30,000 silver taels and treating them as outsiders.
“…… Didn't you hear it from you...... That's all there is to it......"
Jia Wei had to explain, but the maids were still unrelenting, even if Jia Wei repeatedly explained that "I forgot it for a while", it was useless. But no matter what, after all, it is a joke, after a while, Qingwen came from the study and brought a few small letters of the new post to Jia Wei to see, and the maids quieted down.
Seeing that Qingwen actually learned to post a post, Tanchun took the lead in coming over, took it in his hand and looked at it, nodded while asking, "How long has it been?" ”
"It's been a month."
"It is not easy to come to such a good place in a month, although it only has its form, but not its god."
"The third girl deliberately praised me, right?"
"Why am I deliberately praising you, what you are here is the "Lingfei Sutra", it was the second brother who taught you to come, this is not good, if you want to learn words, you have to lay a good foundation, remember to change it tomorrow."
"The second master said, as long as the writing is good......"
"Don't listen to him, but learn the words, and do as I say. He's a spoiler of calligraphy. ”
Jia Wei listened to the conversation between the two with a smile, and when he heard this, he interjected, "Third sister, you are good at calligraphy, you will teach Qingwen in the future, you also know that I really can't handle my calligraphy, and I mistook her by teaching her." ”
Tanchun calligraphy attainments are very deep, there are no less than 100 brushes on the bookcase in the house, her calligraphy, not to mention the first among the sisters in the garden, is to get outside and the ordinary calligraphy masters, it is not inferior. At this moment, Jia Wei saw her pointing out Qingwen, so he naturally took advantage of the situation to find a Master for Qingwen.
"Don't mention this," Tanchun smiled and shook his hand, "I don't have the patience to teach others, I write and play, if you want Qingwen to worship a good master, it is best to worship Miss Lin, she has always been a good teacher." ”
"Okay, third girl, are you praising me or belittling me?"
Daiyu laughed, and everyone else laughed too.
"Naturally, it's a compliment to you. Sister Qingwen, she is not yet apprenticed, and Miss Lin's calligraphy is also excellent. ”
"That's right, sister, you should worship Sister Lin as a teacher."
Jia Wei agreed, Daiyu is indeed tireless, it is recorded in the book, she taught Xiangling to make poems, quite patient and very serious, of course, this matter has not happened yet, after he comes, it is difficult to say whether it will happen, but now, as soon as Tanchun mentioned that she is a good teacher, he suddenly remembered.
Then Qingwen was pushed in front of Daiyu by a group of maids, and she really worshipped the teacher and became a disciple of Daiyu's calligraphy.
"Since I have accepted you as a disciple, I will come to my courtyard to practice calligraphy at the end of the afternoon every day, although I am not as good as the third girl, but I am also better than your second master." As Daiyu spoke, she winked at Jia Wei and teased him.
Jia Wei returned her with a "go back and settle accounts" expression.
So the matter was settled.
Everyone talked about other topics, most of them were from the girl's family, how the new palace flowers were, which girl from the world's friends came over two days ago, and how the skirt she was wearing, so that after most of the hour, everyone got up and said goodbye.
Jia Wei sent the sisters outside the courtyard, watching the bright light of the lanterns carried by the maids behind them, shining on them in different directions, gradually shrinking the halo, and finally scattering into the courtyards like a faint light.
Afterwards, he came alone to the pavilion on the Qinfang Bridge, sat relaxed and listened to the flowing water under the bridge.
