Chapter 0145: The Old Lady Will Slap Her Face Too

Jia Min didn't come back, and the people from the Wang family and the Shi family came first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Wang family is Mrs. Wang's elder brother Wang Ziteng's family and his younger brother's family. The Shi family is Jia's mother's nephews Shi Ding and Shi Nai's family.

Among the four major families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue, the current leaders of the Xue family, Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and Baochai, are already in Jiafu. Therefore, after the people of the Wang and Shi families came, the four major families were considered complete.

Aunt Xue's family came with Mother Jia. Now it basically belongs to advancing and retreating with Jiafu. The Wang and Shi families were invited by Jia's mother.

The reason for the invitation was high-sounding, to celebrate the successful launch of the bus and carriage project. However, in private, Jia Mu has her own little abacus.

Historically, the four families have been very closely linked. Through the means of mutual marriage, a relationship of both prosperity and loss has been formed.

However, in the current crisis of Jiafu, this relationship has not been reflected.

Except for the Xue family, the Wang family and the Shi family basically adopted an attitude of standing by and watching.

In these two, there is a difference. The decline of the Shi family is even more serious than that of the Xue family, even if they have the heart, they are powerless.

In fact, they did not show any decent support. Not even moral and psychological support.

The Wang family is a different situation. They are capable, but they have taken a side-by-side attitude.

Among the four major families in history, the Jia family has the highest political status and belongs to the Guogong. The second is the historian, who is waiting for the bowling age. It's the royal family again, and the title is Earl. The lowest is the Xue family, who is a member of Ziwei She, and its ancestor is a student of the Hanlin Academy. Luo Hanlin, who opposed Jia Fu, is a position.

The Xue family did not have a title, and their descendants took business as their business. But the Xue family's business is still different from ordinary businessmen. They belong to the "bankers of the government in the territory", generally known as the imperial merchants, in fact, they provide special supplies to the imperial palace, similar to the role of government procurement. From the perspective of the business community alone, this status is still very high.

At present, the four major families, with the Wang family being the strongest. This kind of strength is reflected in two aspects, one is financial resources, and the other is power.

The Wang family was previously in charge of foreign tribute in Jiangnan. Wang Xifeng once said that almost all the boats in the southeast coastal area were her family.

Although this is suspected of exaggeration, the financial resources of the Wang family are indeed not to be underestimated.

As for the things in charge of the tributary affairs, it is not necessarily that all foreign countries come to pay tribute to the imperial court. Most of the time, it's just normal overseas trade. It's just that the court has a good face, and it regards itself as the boss, and regards the goods brought by foreigners to do business here as a tribute to themselves.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng's grandfather is basically a person in charge of foreign trade, similar to the customs officer.

It is also this fat gap that has laid the foundation of the Wang family's wealth. This foundation of wealth continues to this day.

In terms of power, at present, Mrs. Wang's brother Wang Ziteng is the envoy of the Jingying Festival, which is equivalent to the role of the commander of the imperial capital garrison, and he is in a high position, but he is currently patrolling the border as the commander of the nine provinces. That is, on behalf of the emperor, to check the border defense.

With the status of the Wang family, even if he does not have the ability to change the emperor's order, he still has the ability to provide some support to the Jia family in terms of finances and connections.

However, so far, the Wang family has been in a state of inaction. He didn't even send someone to inquire about the situation and express his concern.

This may be because Wang Ziteng is not at home, but it also proves from another side that the relationship between the two families is not as close as the outside world thinks.

In the same way, the so-called statement that the four major families are prosperous and lose all is not so reliable.

In fact, Jia Mu was dissatisfied with the attitude of the Wang family this time. Therefore, there was a move to invite the Wang family and the Shi family to come to celebrate this time.

It's just that Jia's mother didn't know that the bus and carriage project was to make money, and the crisis in Jiafu had actually been resolved. Her original intention was just to slap her swollen face and become fat, and take this opportunity to show others: Without you, our Jia family can also handle this imperial mission.

Now I already know that this imperial mission is not only done, but also can make money. Jia Mu is crooked, so she is naturally more willing to show off.

The best way to show off is to speak with facts. Therefore, as soon as the people from the two families came, Jia's mother asked Chen Yejun to settle accounts for the two families.

What kind of account? Nature is an account of how profitable the project is.

Asking Chen Yejun to settle accounts, instead of asking his housekeeper to settle accounts, is exquisite.

Chen Yejun is not from the Jia family, but his family can be regarded as a family in the imperial capital. Including the Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan families, the same.

The signal that Jia Mu wants to convey to people is: Even if your Wang family doesn't help us, there are still the Feng family, the Chen family, and the Wei family standing with us.

In fact, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan participated only because of their personal relationship with Jia Min, and they were not mixed with more family colors, just simple business activities.

However, Jia Mu doesn't mind this. As long as she can take this opportunity to vent her anger in front of the Wang family, she doesn't mind borrowing her strength.

Even Jia Min didn't expect to take this opportunity to slap the Wang family in the face, but Jia Mu thought of it and did it, which shows that Jia Mu is indeed more sophisticated and ruthless in many cases.

After the account was settled, it naturally caused the surprise and surprise of the Wang and Shi families. In this way, Jia Mu completed her face-slapping process. Achieved a psychological advantage in front of the two families.

Of course, there is no sword and sword shadow in this process, and there is no verbal confrontation, but it is carried out in a way that parents talk about in a short way. Outwardly, the atmosphere is still harmonious, and there is no sign of any confrontation.

This time, Jia Mu did not hide Jia Min's credits, and even did not hesitate to have some exaggerated words to praise Jia Min.

Of course, she also carried a lot of private goods. For example, how he couldn't sleep because he was worried about this matter, how Baoyu was anxious to come up with ideas for this matter, how Jia Lian ran around for this matter, and how the people worked together for this, etc., it seems that this is the result of the joint efforts of the entire Jia Mansion. And she herself is a commander-in-chief who is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.

The ladies of the Wang and Shi families also cooperated with Jia's mother in a timely manner, and from time to time they made some surprised expressions and voices of admiration.

It is also wrong to say that the Wang and Shi families are indifferent to this crisis in Jiafu. Almost all the families in the imperial capital are paying attention to this crisis, and the Wang and Shi families are actually clear about the ins and outs of the matter. It's just that now that the Jia family has won, they can't say anything.

The person who wins always has a reason for what he says.

Jia Min came back, and when she saw that there were outsiders present, she was also a little strange, and then she understood that this should be what Jia Mu wanted to take this opportunity to show off.

The announcement of the shares was originally not suitable for such an occasion, but Jia Mu was determined to carry out the slap in the face to the end, so she asked Jia Min to announce it in front of the Wang family and the Shi family.

Jia Min thought to himself. said in front of outsiders, even if the people of Jiafu were dissatisfied, it was not good to oppose it directly, and they just took this opportunity to sit down on the matter, and these outsiders happened to be witnesses.

"The total share capital this time is a total of 50,000 taels of silver. Of these, 45,100 taels of silver have been put into use, and the remaining 4,900 taels are stored in the silver account as working capital. ”

"Previously, there were already some people who took their shares out first. The first one to come out is the largest shareholder, the Qin family, the daughter-in-law of Brother Rong of Dongfu. This time, she gave a total of 10,000 taels of silver. ”

As soon as they heard that Qin Keqing had quietly voted 10,000 taels, everyone was surprised.

One is how could she have so much money, and the other is how could she have such the audacity to quietly invest money when others are not optimistic?

Jia Rong, in particular, was even more surprised. glanced at Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing ignored him, and it was difficult to say anything.

Although everyone was puzzled, it was not easy to say anything in public. Jia Min didn't explain either, he believed that with Qin Keqing's cleverness, she would give an explanation herself.

As for himself, he didn't have to worry about it at all. Now, no one dares to come to him to question it.

The second largest shareholder is Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan. The three of them together also voted 10,000 taels. ”

"The third one is Second Brother Lian and Brother Qiang. Second Brother Lian voted for 2,000 taels, and Brother Qiang voted for 1,000 taels. ”

When Jia Lian heard Jia Min talk about himself, he subconsciously glanced at Wang Xifeng, so he saw Wang Xifeng's knife-like eyes.

That means: I really can't see that you actually did such a big thing behind your back.

Jia Mu also stared at Jia Lian for a while, but Jia Lian didn't make eye contact with her at all.

Jia Mu realized that she had made a mistake: she should not have arranged for Jia Lian to spy on Jia Min. Since Brother Lian has secretly become a shareholder, his relationship with Brother Min is a little delicate.

In her heart, Jia Mu classified Jia Lian into the ranks of unreliable.

Jia Yu was also very dissatisfied with Jia Lian's secret shareholding. Now he wondered how his son got together with Brother Min. He decided that when he returned home, he would have to be interrogated.

Jia Qiang originally had a very close relationship with Jia Rong, but this time she also secretly bought shares, which made Jia Rong very unhappy. But there were many people at this time, and now he was afraid of Jia Min, so he had to endure it.

"The above is a total of twenty-three thousand taels. and the rest of the silver, fifteen thousand taels, belonged to the house. This part is the shares of the officials in the government, and if there is income in the future, it will naturally be handed over to the officials. ”

"Together, these two are thirty-eight thousand taels. The remaining 12,000 taels are the share capital left for the other masters in the mansion. For this part, I took the money first. Now, divide the 12,000 taels and distribute them to the masters who have not invested in the shares before. Everyone has a share, everyone is equal, and they are all the same amount of shares. ”

How? And our shares?

People couldn't believe it.
