With the end of Jia's mother's 75th birthday banquet, Rongxi Hall returned to its former tranquility. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info inside and out, the prosperity and liveliness of those days of the birthday banquet have disappeared. The scimitar that Jia Min inserted on the side wall that day had been pulled out, and I don't know where to put it.

On the opposite wall of the poem that day, a new layer of paint was painted, and the words were gone. Only the newly painted piece remains, which stands out against the other surrounding walls.

The courtyard was quiet as if there were no people, but in fact there were still people, and there were quite a few of them. A group of long-term and small servants. The maids and mothers-in-law all stood solemnly in the corner of the courtyard, and no one dared to speak loudly. From time to time, he looked out of the garden, as if waiting for someone.

In the house, Jia Mu, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, You Shi, and Wang Xifeng were all sitting silently.

Everything that should be said has been said since I received the decree yesterday. Besides, it's just a repetition of those words.

Wang Xifeng sat closest to the door, and the door was open.

Even though she could see the outside from here, she stepped out of the door from time to time to look outside.

They are also waiting for someone to come back, waiting for Jia Lian to come back.

Jia Lian went to the palace and said that he was going to send something to Jia Yuanchun, but in fact, even the people knew that he was asking Jia Yuanchun for advice.

Jia's mother's birthday banquet is a major event in the house every year. Even if the birthday banquet is over, the topic of the birthday banquet will continue for a few days.

This year is no different, but the conversation seems to be a bit more lively than in previous years.

First of all, there is the topic of Jia Min's departure from Jiafu, because this topic is the first time they have encountered it in many years, so there is naturally a lot of attention from top to bottom. However, because it is sensitive, even if people talk about it, they do it in private.

And when the stewards and their servants began to discuss, they even put a guard at the door, so that they would not be touched by outsiders.

The next thing is that Bao Erye fell ill, although the prisoners are inclined to think in private that this is Baoyu pretending to be sick and repaying the debt, but because the ancestor spoke, no one dared to mention it publicly. Although I was dissatisfied because I lost the money, I had to consider myself unlucky.

Although nothing went wrong, a depressing atmosphere spread in the house. With the arrival of yesterday's holy decree, this oppressive atmosphere reached its peak.

Although nothing came out of the masters, some housekeepers had a better vision for business than their masters. The words of the housekeepers came out, and everyone knew that there was a problem in this house.

It's not just a difficulty, it's a hurdle. The big hole of other people's bus and carriage business was dumped by the emperor to Rongguofu.

That's the bottomless pit, whoever does it, has to fill it with money. Word came from outside that someone had calculated the accounts, and that he would fill the business with twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver in a year.

This amount is almost the income of Jia Mansion for a year. At the same time, this amount is also the daily expenses of clothing, food, housing and transportation in Jiafu for a year.

This account is very simple, anyone will calculate, and the money to accompany this bus and carriage is their daily expenses for a year. In other words, there are more than 2,000 people up and down, and they need to save money on food, clothing, housing and transportation in order to fill this hole.

The problem is not a one-time thing, it is not a one-time thing, it is not a one-time end, it will be like this every year in the future.

Isn't this just a pit man?

That's right, it's a trick for you. The emperor cheated you, how dare you?

Jia Lian hasn't come back yet, Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen, and Ma Shangde are here.

After the salute one by one, the two sides sat down with the guests.

"Presumably, your mansion has already received the holy decree, and this time I came here to discuss the handover matter with your mansion. Please also ask the old lady not to be presumptuous to the juniors. ”

Niu Jizong was not polite, and spoke directly.

Before coming here, they had also studied together the question of how to do it.

One is to sit and wait for Jiafu to come to them, and the other is to go to Jiafu by himself. There are pros and cons to both approaches.

However, since yesterday the decree came down. But I haven't seen any movement in Jiafu. It was a little strange to them.

It is said that the time limit given by the emperor is only half a month, and Jiafu should hurry up to explain this matter, and there is no reason to delay.

According to their thoughts, the wisest thing for Jia Fu to do now is to negotiate with them as soon as possible, and negotiate a solution to the problem of receiving the houses, vehicles, horses, car owners, car bosses, and other things at the station.

These questions are complicated to say, but they are actually simple to do. It's just a matter of price.

As for the price, they even thought about it for the sake of Jiafu. If it's hard to take it out all at once, it's okay to delay it for a few months. After all, Jiafu is also a century-old store, and they are still relieved of this.

However, there has been no movement in Jiafu so far, so they can't sit still. Today, I came to explore the tone of Jiafu, see what their plans are, and test what the psychological price of Jiafu is.

At the same time, we also have to see if Jia Min is in the house. Did you change your mind and return to Jiafu again?

If Jia Min came out to deal with Jia Fu on behalf of Jia Fu, it would not be easy to do. The entire Jia Mansion is up and down, and the only thing they have to worry about is Jia Min alone.

Handover matters, where does Jia Mu know so much. Besides, now that this business, how to start, they don't have an idea yet, where can they take care of the handover?

However, Jia Mu doesn't understand business matters, and she will still say it on the scene.

"Yesterday, a holy decree came down, and I couldn't understand it for a while. Handover or something, I can't take care of it for the time being. It's also a big business, and even if we take over, we have to have a master in the future. ”

"That's natural, what the old lady said is reasonable. It's just that I don't know who is in charge of your house? When can I get in touch? ”

Niu Jizong was talking along the surface, but he was actually exploring the details.

"I won't hide it from you, and we haven't decided on the person in charge yet. However, we are all world friends, and whoever we call to go in the future will not pit you, and it is always good for both families to say that the past is good. ”

That's what we mean. Since the Holy Providence has sent us out, we also have to plan for your house. I only look forward to the early handover, and your mansion will be able to hand over to the saint. We've been in business for so long, and we don't care if it's early or late. ”

That's a threat. It means that we are now out anyway, and we are not afraid of delaying it for a while. But you, if you don't resume operations for half a month, see how you deal with the emperor?

Niu Jizong, they are coming now, and it is indeed not the time.

None of the people present at the moment are suitable for such a business to be interviewed in person. The reason is also very simple, they are all laymen.

Needless to say, although Jia Yu has his own business outside, he doesn't run it himself, he just uses his influence to pull some business in the house into his shop.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and You Shi don't understand business, and they are women, so when they encounter such a thing, they have no opinions.

Wang Xifeng's housekeeper has a set, and he understands business a little. However, it is also inconvenient for her to come forward, and for such a business, she is completely a layman, and it is impossible to come forward.

The only one who understands business is Jia Lian, who is not present at the moment. Even if you are there, I am afraid you will not be able to talk about anything.

Niu Jizong didn't expect any results today, so they sat for a while and left.

The biggest gain of their trip was that they didn't see Jia Min. , proving that Jia Min really left Jia Mansion. Otherwise, this handover matter, I'm afraid Jia Min came forward to talk to them.

They were even a little glad that no specific terms had been negotiated today. Because the later the handover, the greater the pressure on Jiafu. The more you can bargain with Jiafu.

Liu Fang even made a plan in her heart, planning to get back all their losses from Jia Fu. Even if you don't make money, at least you have to get the capital back.

Jia Lian is finally back.

"What does the big girl say?"

As soon as Jia Lian entered the house, the old lady asked impatiently.

Jia Lian sighed, took out two letters from his arms, and handed them to Jia's mother.

"The messenger said that my sister's meaning was in the letter, and after reading it, I knew what to do."

Jia Mu took the letter, read the first letter, and then handed it to Jia Yu, then read the second letter herself, and after reading it, handed it to Jia Yu.

"Pass the letter on to everyone and get an idea."

Jia Mu leaned back in her chair weakly and took a long breath.

In fact, for the emperor's holy decree, Jiafu's reaction was still very fast.

As soon as the Divine Decree came yesterday, it immediately gathered people together to study it. The final decision was to send someone to contact Jia Yuanchun immediately. Tell her to try to move around and see if she can get the emperor to take back her life.

Jia Yuanchun's reply shattered their illusions. In the letter, she clearly told her family that she did not have that ability. It is imperative not to have other illusions, and it is important to seize the time to fulfill the emperor's order.

The letter also bluntly said that there is no need for the ready-made business genius of the fourth brother Min in the family, but it is boring to ask her to go to the emperor to ask for herself, which is inevitably a bit of a sacrifice.

At the same time, he euphemistically said that the family should be more tolerant of the fourth brother Min. The fourth brother of Min is a member of the Jia family, so he should treat him as his own family.

This tone, although it was not said directly, was obviously aware of the disagreement between the family and Jia Min, and faintly blamed the family.

The other letter was written specifically to Jia Min. Tell the family to hand it over to Jia Min.

After reading the letter, everyone was silent again.

In fact, they had all expected this result before, but they didn't get Jia Yuanchun's final reply, and no one wanted to admit this fact.

In terms of who will bear this burden, they actually have the most suitable candidate in their hearts, that is, Jia Min, who was squeezed away by them.

But how do you find Jia Min now? If you want to find it, who will go? Go, will Jia Min give them face?
