Jia Zheng saw that Han Fei refused to call him his father, although it was not a taste in his heart, he also understood that the knot in Han Fei's heart could not be untied in a while, so he also acquiesced to his nondescript title. He listened to Han Fei's words and knew that he had guessed his intention, so he said frankly: "Fei'er, my father has always wanted to come to see the ancestors and you in my heart, and I came here today, not only because of this, but also for another reason!" ”

Han Fei said lightly: "Is it because of the glass kiln factory?" ”

"It does ......"

"Don't talk about it for the glaze kiln factory, I can't partner with Jiafu anymore, I've already asked Ru to buy a kiln factory, and Hanfu will fire the glaze by itself!"

"Fei'er, you let me finish speaking!" Jia Zheng sighed and said, "This time was originally a happy thing, and I didn't want your uncle and patriarch Jia Zhen to ...... Alas, the matter has come to this, and its fault lies in Jiafu, and the father understands that you have resentment in your heart! The patriarch Jia Zhen has also realized this, he said to his father, don't force you to continue to partner with Jiafu, but I hope this matter will not affect the harmony of the two families, after all, it is a family, and if you make trouble, it will only make outsiders see jokes! ”

"At this point, you can rest assured, in general, I know how to do it! The Jia family is a big family, and the personnel are mixed, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be uneven, and I will not equate some people's desire for profit with the Jia family! Han Fei was silent for a moment, and then said: "But in the near future, there will be no business partnership between the two families, if there is a chance in the future, let's talk about it!" ”

"Well, when it comes to business, there is someone in charge to think about it, and the father will not take care of these things. Fei'er, you just said that you want to start another stove to burn glass, have you found a suitable kiln? ”

"Not yet, the housekeeper Lin Quan sent someone out to inquire, the big kiln factory is not easy to sell, and I don't want the small kiln factory, let people go a little farther away tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to take a look!"

Jia Zheng's heart suddenly moved, and said: "The kiln factory in Jiafu is now abandoned, go back and talk about it for my father, just transfer it to your name!" ”

Han Fei shook his head and said: "All kinds of workshops in that kiln factory are ready-made, of course it is the best, but after all, it is the public property of the clan, I can't ask for it in vain, so as not to make waves again in the future." If the clan is willing to sell, and I am willing to take over at a high price, then the kiln factory will be four or five thousand taels of silver according to the market price, and I am willing to bid ten thousand taels. ”

"The clan is already ashamed of you, how can they ask you for such a high price?"

"The Han Mansion is not short of these thousands of taels of silver, which can not only block the mouths of some people, but also put into production and fire glass as soon as possible, which is also a matter of two benefits!"

"It's okay, this matter will be done for my father when he goes back, and let Jia Lian come to the house tomorrow to handle the delivery procedures!"

Han Fei understood that with Jia Zheng's weight in Hanfu, this thing would definitely be done, and he was very happy in his heart, and he could get the ready-made kiln factory in Jiafu, which would save Hanfu a lot of things. The most important thing is that the Jiafu kiln factory occupies a large enough area to meet the requirements of expanding the scale of production.

With this good atmosphere, the two chatted very harmoniously, and they got a homely routine from the officialdom, and they chatted for most of the hour.

"Fei'er, I'm back home for my father!"

"Ah, it's almost time for dinner, it's not too late to go back after dinner!"

"No, for my father to go back and implement the matter of the kiln factory as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"

Jia Zheng stood up, looked at his son, and suddenly said: "Fei'er, you are not young, it is time for a wife to preside over internal affairs in the house, many wealthy families in Beijing have talked privately with their fathers, and they intend to marry you, what is your opinion?" ”

"I can't agree to this!"

Jia Zheng saw that Han Fei was a little anxious, and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that you have already taken a fancy to which lady?" Oh, your teacher's daughter lives in your house, you ......."

"Don't be suspicious, it's none of Senior Sister Du's business!" Han Fei thought about it, Jia Zheng was his father after all, and it was legitimate for him to come forward in the matter of marriage, so he said: "I am in love with Xue Baoqin, the second lady of the Xue family, and I have already talked about this matter with Brother Xue when I was in Jinling, and I only waited until the capital ......."

"Haha, okay, my father has heard that the second lady of the Xue family is both talented and beautiful, and she will not insult my son, and my father knows!"

Han Fei sent Jia Zheng, who looked excited, away, and suddenly felt apprehensive in his heart, as if something was going to go wrong, and he couldn't think of what the problem was for a while, so he stopped thinking about it and hurried back to the backyard. Li Xiangjun is pregnant, and the entire Han Mansion is immersed in joy.

Jia Zheng returned to Jia's mansion, first went to Jia Zhen to talk for a while, and then the two went to Jia Yu's house together. Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen both agreed to transfer the kiln factory to Hanfu, and Jia Yu was not easy to object, not to mention that Hanfu's bid was twice the market price, and the three immediately instructed Jia Lian to go through the kiln factory delivery procedures with Hanfu the next day.

After completing this matter, Jia Zheng was a lot more down-to-earth, and finally did one thing for Han Fei, and when he returned to the house, he was in a good mood. At this time, he thought of Han Fei's marriage again, and this matter must also be decided as soon as possible. In fact, he had the idea of indebtedness to Han Fei in his heart, and he just wanted to do a few more things for him to make up for the regrets in his heart.

The next day, Jia Zheng returned home from duty early, and as soon as he entered the house, he dragged Mrs. Wang to the residence of Mrs. Xue.

Mrs. Xue and Jia Zheng's wife are sisters of the Wang family, and Mrs. Xue lived in the courtyard of the Jia family after entering Beijing, and the two sisters moved around frequently. Mrs. Xue saw that Jia Zheng was also here today, although it was a little strange, but she didn't think much about it, and was busy greeting her subordinates to serve tea and entertain guests.

The three chatted for a few words, Jia Zheng coughed, and said: "Mrs. Xue, we are not outsiders, the old man said it directly, the old man came here today to propose marriage for the child!" ”

"Propose?" Mrs. Xue was stunned, and said hurriedly: "With the relationship between our two families, we are married to our children's family, so naturally we have nothing to say, besides, Baoyu ......"

"It's not Baoyu, what the old man said is right and wrong!"

"Fei'er? The second master is talking about Han Gongzi? ”

Xue Baochai's maid Ying'er went back to the house to get her belongings, passed by the door, happened to hear this, and ran out in surprise.

After Mrs. Xue determined that Jia Zheng was proposing marriage to Han Fei, she said: "Han Gongzi is talented, the daughter of the Xue family can marry him, that is Gao Pan, but Baochai is still a draft girl, and she can't ......."

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "It's strange that the old man didn't make his words clear, Fei'er and Baoqin, the second lady of the Xue family, fell in love, and asked Mrs. Xue to fulfill it!" ”

Mrs. Xue showed a slightly disappointed look in her eyes, and then said with a smile: "Qin'er and Han Gongzi are friends in trouble, and they are indeed affectionate, this is a great joy, I naturally support it, go back to Jinling to discuss with my younger siblings, if she agrees, let Ta'er send Qin'er to the capital to complete the marriage!" ”

However, it was said that Ying'er hurried to the headquarters of the people's declaration, rushed into Xue Baochai's duty room, and shouted: "Miss, I'm very happy, the second master of the Jia family proposed to his wife just now!" ”

Xue Baochai was discussing with Jia Tanchun about the layout of tomorrow's civil declaration, and was stunned when he heard this, and the newspaper in his hand fell to the ground.

Jia Tanchun saw that Xue Baochai had no joy on his face, and hurriedly scolded Ying'er: "What nonsense, how can Baoyu's muddy goods be worthy of Baochai's sister?" ”

"It's not Young Master Baoyu, it's Young Master Han, the slave heard what Second Master Jia said personally!"

Hearing that the object of the proposal was Han Fei, Xue Baochai's face suddenly swelled with a layer of redness, his eyes were surprised and happy, and after thinking about it, he felt unbelievable, and hurriedly scolded: "Dead girl, don't talk nonsense, who Han Gongzi likes, you don't know, besides, I am still waiting for the identity of the draft girl, and I will never talk about marriage, otherwise I will be punished!" ”

"That's right, Sister Baochai is still a draft girl, it is impossible to propose marriage at this time, this girl must have heard it wrong!" Jia Tanchun also said.

Ying'er's mouth opened, and she wanted to say something, but when she saw that the two girls were glaring at her, she didn't dare to say anything more.
