The news of the breakdown of Jia Min's negotiations with Niu Jizong and others soon spread throughout the Rongning Second Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because of the hope that Jia Min would return home to take over the bus and carriage, and the relaxed atmosphere brought by Baoyu's wake-up, Ken was almost diluted by the news.

The two mansions went up and down, and fell into anxiety again.

The price of 70,000 taels of silver offered by Niu Jizong was obviously a lion's mouth. This, even those who are under it, think that it is excessive.

Jia Min disagrees with this price, and people can understand it.

However, Jia Min gave a price of 15,000 taels, which was also considered by the people in the two prefectures to be too low.

Previously, the masters of the mansion had discussed together, and they had also assessed Niu Jizong's property. They had a psychological price, about 40,000 taels of silver.

Jia Mu also once told Jia Min that she could accept this price. Jia's mother even prepared a plan to raise funds for each house and sell some shops and land, and the total amount of funds raised was about 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver. Of these, 40,000 taels were used as receiving funds. The rest, as liquidity later.

Because of this reason, there is an opinion that Jia Min's price is too low, which caused the breakdown of this negotiation.

This time, because the bus and carriage business is related to the future and fate of Jiafu, the attention of the people in Jiafu is unprecedented. The fate of Jiafu is their fate, even for those subordinates.

The discussions of the subordinates were concentrated on the masters, and the opinions of the masters were finally concentrated on Jia Mu.

Jia Mu also believes that Jia Min's bid was too low, which led to the breakdown of the negotiations. However, Jia Min's low price is at least to protect the interests of Jia Fu. At this point, others can say casually, as the head of the family, it is difficult for Jia Mu to say it directly.

Besides, the collapse of the talks this time does not mean that the talks will not be able to get along in the future, and she already has a plan in her heart to use Jia Min as a substitute for the dead ghost at that time, so although she is also anxious, she still puts this matter aside for the time being.

Jia Min also put the matter aside. It's just that he and Jia Mu's are still different.

Jia Mu put this matter aside, still worried about it in her heart, and secretly worried about it. Jia Min completely let go. I don't even mention it.

Jia Min started to do something else.

What are you busy with? A big man is busy with women's affairs, a thing that makes Ping'er and Qingwen almost vomit blood in anger - the matter of the scarlets.

When Jia Min and Ping'er had just arrived in Yeduju, Jia Min asked her to make a dreadlock. At first, Ping'er was very uninterested in Jia Min, so she was passive and slacking off. Later, he gradually recognized Jia Min, and began to handle this matter.

It wasn't until later that Fang Xiu joined Yeduju and brought his wife Feng Sanniang, a master of the silks, that he officially took the matter of the hairlocks seriously.

Despite this, only a little more than 200 samples were made and placed there.

This time to move, Jia Min specially told him to bring all these locks, saying that they would be of great use soon.

After Jia Min took a look at all the dreadlocks, he called Nan'er and asked him to take Ping'er and Qingwen to the city to inspect the market.

Qingwen basically adopts a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude towards Jia Min. Ping'er's attitude towards Qingwen is actually dissatisfied. However, the two had a good personal relationship before, so it's hard to say anything.

Now that she has redeemed herself, she is no longer the same as Qingwen in terms of identity, and she is worried that if she talks too much, it will put pressure on Qingwen.

However, in terms of Jia Min's views on not doing his job, the two are surprisingly consistent. They all believe that Jia Min should focus on dealing with the crisis of the bus and horse, rather than caring about things like the locks.

Either way, it's a good thing to go to the city for a walk. They didn't know much about what it meant to inspect the market and how to inspect it, and Jia Min didn't explain it to them, so they went happily.

Ping'er and they left, and Jia Min called the housekeeper Zhang Cai. The last time Jia Mu, Baoyu and Jia Rong bewitched the people in the mansion to go to Liansheng Gambling House to place bets, it was Zhang Cai who kept the accounts and handled it directly.

Zhang Cai kowtowed to Jia Min, got up and stood with his hands down.

"Last time the people in the house went to Liansheng Gambling House to place bets, how much money did you collect in your account?"

"It's more than 8,000 taels in total."

"Do you have accounts?"

"I have all of them. There are also some bets that don't go through me. ”

"Who are the people who are registered with you?"

"It's all some subordinates and little masters."

"What's the most?"

"It's Grandma Rong and Miss Bao the most, ten taels of silver per person. The rest of the people are all a few hundred dollars, and the more is only 2 taels. ”

"You go back, bring me the accounts, and then ask Lai Da to come with you to see me."

Zhang Cai found Lai Da and said what Jia Min meant, and Lai Da fell into deep thought. I thought for a while before I spoke.

"The fourth master didn't say anything else? Just telling you to bet on the account? ”

"Yes, nothing else."

"Alas, what is this fourth master going to do? Let's go. ”

came to the East Flower Hall, and Jia Min was waiting. After looking at the account book, it was a total of eight thousand one hundred and twenty taels.

"Lai Da, go to the treasury and pay eight thousand one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and according to the account book, accompany the silver to the person who bets."

Accompany the silver? Did I hear me right?

Although it was the ancestor who called for the bet, later Bao Er Ye and Uncle Rong of Dongfu also bewitched the bet, and said that if they lost, they would pay for it. Although some people went to ask for it from Bao Er Ye and Uncle Rong later, since Bao Er Ye was sick and the ancestor ordered not to ask for it, no one dared to ask for it.

Although many people are reluctant, they have no hope. Now you want to accompany others?

"Fourth master, according to what you explained, the slave should do it. However, there are two things that the fourth master should know. ”

Lai Da is relatively old in the end, and he is still more cautious in doing things.

"Say it."

"This one, the money in the library, is all prepared for this bus and carriage thing. If you lose your bet money, you will go to a large block. ”

"These two, as far as the minions know, are the ones who bet this time, but not just these. There are others, including the masters, who have made big bets. These are lost, what about those ones? ”

This time he bet, Lai Da privately placed a thousand taels of silver, and others, such as Jia Yu, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Baoyu, Jia Rong, and some housekeepers, also bet. It's just that they didn't go through this channel, they did it privately.

"Others, have you registered through here?"

"Nope."

"So, who knows if they bet or not? If so, how much? Know what is the sist. ”

"First of all, it was the ancestor who called for betting, which is equivalent to the call of the house. If you win, it will go to you, and if you lose, it will go to the house. The government must be responsible for this matter, and it cannot be called a private loss. ”

Second, Baoyu and Brother Rong promised that they would pay for their losses. This is also something that must be delivered. However, this is their private behavior, and the responsibility lies with them. The share they promised, the government doesn't care. It's just that they don't have any money in their hands now, so they will be paid by the government first, and then the government will ask them for it in the future. ”

"Third, the ancestor had long intended to pay back his wallet, but it was only because of the bus and the illness of the second brother Bao that it was delayed for a while. This matter is related to the credibility of the government and the ancestors, and it must be done. Otherwise, wouldn't the government have become a debtor? How will you win the trust of people in the future? ”

"Fourth, since I took over the matter of the bus and horse, I have my own opinions, and I will bear all the consequences. I will also sign and pledge this money. ”

"Fifth, those who bet privately have not gone through the official channels in the government, and the number cannot be verified, and it is a private act, and the consequences must be borne by themselves."

"Sixth, I have already written a notice here, you go back and copy it, and it is still posted at the second gate. When he returned, he paid the money, and he cashed it immediately. ”

"Also, it's a three-person panel decision. Tell the people that they have received the money, and they all go to the old father and his wife to give thanks. I have a lot of things to do here, so don't come. ”

Seeing that Jia Min is justified, the more he talks, the more serious he becomes, where does Lai Da dare to question anything? Besides, I have said everything I should have said, and the fourth master has said everything to this point, if you don't do it, it will really be boring for yourself. Even if the ancestor and his wife ask again, they will be able to make a difference.

This time, Lai Da was very happy, went back and asked someone to write a notice according to Jia Min's draft, posted it out, paid the money, and began to pay.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were in the Baoyu room, and as usual, a large group of masters followed, and some of them who received the silver first came to kowtow and thank them.

After Jia Mu heard about this, her heart was mixed and tangled again.

Although Lai Da did according to Jia Min's instructions, he still had an extra heart in the end, and felt that it was more appropriate to inform the ancestor and Mrs. Wang of the reason for this matter. The first is to let the two of them have a preparation, and the second is to entrust themselves to the involvement. Save yourself from being held accountable afterwards and even affecting yourself.

Jia Mu knew that losing money would save her reputation, but the top priority now was the matter of the bus and carriage, and the money should be used on the blade, and the more than eight thousand taels went out, and the money that accepted Niu Jizong's property went to a large chunk.

It's just that this matter has been made into cooked rice from raw rice, and it is too late to stop it, so he has to go. I couldn't help but complain about Jia Min again, blaming him for being too reckless.

When Baoyu heard about this, she was also surprised. Unprecedentedly, I didn't scold Jia Min in my heart this time. It's just that the doubts in my heart are getting heavier and heavier.

This Min Lao Si, shouldn't he be playing yin again, don't ask him to calculate again.

Jia Min's move did not mean to calculate Baoyu. His intentions are, firstly, to salvage the reputation of the prefecture, and secondly, to carry out fishing.

He calculates people from outside.
