Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Twin Marquis of Shimen
It is said that the ancestor of the Shi family, the official residence of Baoling Hou Shangshuling, although slightly inferior to the Jiafu Shuangguo Gong, is also ranked second among the four major families. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But the most rare thing is that the title has been passed down to the third generation, and the title of the Marquis of Bowling has been inherited by Shi Nai; And not only inherited the Marquis of Baoling, but now there is also more of Shi Ding's Marquis of Zhongjing.
However, it was precisely for these two titles that the two brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding worked hard to drill the camp and gradually spent all the dignified family business of the Hou Mansion.
That's why I said later, and I also used Shi Xiangyun, the eldest lady, to personally make needlework to supplement the family.
And Shi Xiangyun is at the age when he loves to play and make trouble, so he can't wait to come to Rongguo Mansion for a few days.
It's just that every time Shi Xiangyun comes over, it is basically Jia's mother who asks someone to pick him up, and the two brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding personally sent their niece, but it is the first time.
Mother Jia, as Shi Nai's aunt, naturally had no reason not to see them, so she invited someone in on the spot.
As soon as Shi Nai Shi Ding came in with Shi Xiangyun, he first bowed to Jia's mother, and then met Jia Zheng with the courtesy of his peers.
At this time, Jia Lian stepped forward to salute and said, "Jia Lian has seen the two marquis masters and sister Yun. ”
Shi Xiangyun also gave Jia Lian a blessing and said, "I've seen Second Brother Lian." Then he ran to Jia's mother's side.
Shi Naishi laughed, only to hear Shi Nai say: "It's all a family, why do Jia Lianxian's nephews see each other like this, we and your father are cousins, and now you still refuse to call us cousins?" ”
Jia Lian saw that the two were deliberately close, and he also smiled and saluted again: "I've seen two uncles." ”
Shi Ding said with a smile: "Jia Lianxian's nephew is really a great benefit, now just with his own ability, he can get the attention of today's saints, over time, it is possible to seal the prince of the country again, and the four families of Jia Shiwang Xue will be headed by Jia Lianxian's nephew in the next generation!" ”
Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Don't dare, if you want to inherit the ancestral business and carry it forward, it is still the best for the two uncles." ”
Shi Nai waved his hand and said: "How do you know the difficulties of your uncles, just forget about these for the time being, I heard that there were many ministers above the early dynasty who impeached the virtuous nephew together, but fortunately, the saint was particularly kind to the virtuous nephew, not only did not condemn the crime, but also promoted the virtuous nephew to the third level of civil and military officials, which shows the kindness of the virtuous nephew." ”
Shi Ding said: "That's right, I just hate that we couldn't be in the hall at that time, otherwise we would have to shame these sour Confucians!" Otherwise, they would still dare to deceive our four major families? ”
Jia Zheng on the side also saw at this time that Shi Nai and Shi Ding were extremely enthusiastic about Jia Lian, as if this trip was for this.
So he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said: "The two virtuous brothers, please sit down, I still have some urgent official business that has not been completed, so I will be accompanied by Brother Lian?" ”
Although Jia Zheng was a little rude, Shi Nai Shi Ding didn't care, Qi said: "The second brother has official business, so naturally he is focused on official business, and we don't have any major deals, this time I came mainly to see my aunt and her old man, and Brother Lian is here, so the second brother will go and get busy." ”
Jia Zheng nodded, said another word to Jia Mu, and then left.
Jia's mother saw that her most beloved second son left in frustration, but it was also her own maiden juniors who blindly talked to Jia Lian enthusiastically, and for a while, Jia's mother didn't know what to say.
However, Jia Zheng's departure does not seem to have attracted much attention from the two brothers.
I saw Shi Nai say to Jia Lian: "Naturally, it needs to be like this, who doesn't know that our Jia Shi Wang Xue four families are in the same spirit, one loss and one glory, now since someone is targeting the virtuous nephew, it is naturally disrespectful to our four families, but I don't know if the virtuous nephew can have countermeasures in the future?" ”
Jia Lian replied: "Thank you uncle for your concern, now my nephew is fine, and he has been promoted to two more levels of loose officials, let's talk about the rest later." ”
At this time, the mandarin duck brought two maids up with tea.
After Shi Nai Shi Ding took a sip, he quietly glanced at each other, and then Shi Ding said to Jia's mother: "Auntie, now that Brother Lian is promoted again, can the house arrange a celebration?" ”
Jia Mu smiled: "There is, but Brother Lian himself is impatient to socialize, so he only celebrated a little in the house, and did not invite outsiders to come." ”
Shi Ding listened to it and then said: "It's just that Brother Lian is indifferent to fame and fortune, but my brother and I, as his elders, can't help but express it." ”
Then I saw Shi Nai take out a gift list from his sleeve with a smile, and said while handing it to Jia Lian: "Yes, I don't care about others, and I ask my nephew to accept this mere gift." ”
Seeing this, Jia Lian hurriedly excused himself and resolutely refused to accept it.
Shi Nai turned to Jia's mother and said, "Auntie, let's say something, otherwise I thought Brother Lian would look down on our two poor uncles." ”
Mother Jia somewhat guessed some of the plans of the two brothers, and she also had the heart to help the younger generations of her mother's family, so she said: "Brother Lian, since your two cousins want to give it, then you can just accept it." ”
Jia Lian accepted the gift list, opened it on the spot, and then said straight in his mouth: "The gift is too thick, too thick~"
Shi Ding said with a smile: "Why should the virtuous nephew be too modest, with the current value of the virtuous nephew, not to mention this little courtesy, even the gold and silver mountains can't take much effort on the virtuous nephew, but this is just a little bit of our mind as elders." ”
At this time, I only heard Jia Mu say: "The etiquette doesn't care about the weight, the most important thing is this intention, Brother Lian, you have to remember this good." ”
After saying this, he turned his head to Shi Xiangyun and said, "It's not interesting for you to listen to us here, why don't you go to the garden to play with those sisters first." ”
Shi Xiangyun couldn't bear to be here for a long time, but his two uncles were here, so he had to endure it.
Now that Jia's mother spoke, she jumped out of joy on the spot, and then rushed to the yard with her maid.
Without Shi Xiangyun, Shi Nai and Shi Ding spoke much more easily.
After the four of them gossiped a little more, they only heard Shi Ding say: "Auntie, in front of you and Lian Xian's nephew today, there is something to ask Brother Lian Yucheng." ”
Jia Mu asked: "You have something to ask Brother Lian, they are all a family, let's talk about it directly." ”
So I only heard Shi Ding say: "So that my aunt and Lian Xian's nephew can know that in order for my brother to inherit the Marquis of Baoling completely, and for me to win the Marquis of Zhongjing, now I have a dignified and double marquis mansion, and I have long been just looking glamorous on the outside, but the savings of the ancestors in the inner treasury have been empty, and now I can only barely maintain the dignity of the Hou Men. ”
Shi Naiyi said: "If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, my two brothers would not have spoken brazenly today, and asked my aunt and Jia Lianxian's nephew to help, and when our Shi family survived this crisis, we would never dare to forget the kindness of my aunt and Jia Lianxian's nephew." ”
Jia Lian didn't expect that this historian had fallen to this point, and he didn't hesitate to plead with a junior of his own.
At this time, I only heard Jia Mu say: "Now that I'm old, I can't help you anymore, and let's see if Brother Lian has any good ideas." ”
When Jia Lian heard this, he said, "But I don't know if the two uncles have any ideas in their hearts? ”
Shi Nai replied: "I don't have any specific ideas, I just think that whether it is cement bridge and paving roads, or your red mansion firm, as long as we can invest a little bit of shares, this is the best." ”
Jia Lian could also guess that the two of them must have the idea of fighting, but he would not allow others to touch either of them.
Looking at the two brothers of the Shi family who were full of hope, Jia Lian pondered for a while, and then said: "This cement, to put it bluntly, I am just taking care of it for the emperor; The Red Mansion Commercial Bank is my own, but now it has its own ready-made operation model, and there is no need for external capital investment. ”
When Shi Nai Shi Ding heard this, his face suddenly collapsed.
At this time, I only heard Jia Lian continue: "In addition to these two, I also have a secret recipe here, if it is someone else, I will naturally never share it, but if the two uncles are interested, since they are a family, we can cooperate." ”
Now who in the capital does not know, the second master of Rongguo Mansion is full of some divine prescriptions in his head, if anyone is lucky enough to get one, keep it every day.
Shi Naishi Ding immediately changed the frustration he had just now, and asked happily: "Good virtuous nephew, let's tell me what the secret recipe is." ”
