Jia Liang's eyes lit up, a guest from Jiangnan? Rich?

Although there is oil and water to be fished when the procurement is made, Huo Jiadong's mansion is not rich, and he can not get much silver. Son Jia Xiaoan is getting older and older, and it is time to talk about his daughter-in-law in the past two years, Mrs. Feng is not a generous person, so Jia Xiaoan's money for marrying his daughter-in-law has to be saved by his father.

He pretended to be embarrassed and said to the shopkeeper: "Miss has indeed practiced in the nunnery, and even the Queen Mother knows about this, but after all, Miss is from the back house, and I don't know anything about her." ”

The shopkeeper stretched out a finger and gestured in front of him: "Ten taels, okay?" ”

Jia Liang touched his nose and didn't say yes, nor did he say no.

The shopkeeper scolded: "You are a person who has gotten into the eyes of money, your eyelids are really shallow, forget it, give you the three taels that people promised me." ”

Having said that, Jia Liang immediately understood that the Jiangnan guest had promised twenty taels of silver eight or nine times out of ten, and the shopkeeper pretended to be generous, but actually earned seven taels from it.

"Add two more." He said.

The shopkeeper sighed, as if he had been stripped of two taels of meat, and said bitterly: "Deal." ”

The next day, Jia Liang went to Lao Cangzhou to meet the guest from Jiangnan.

Later, he also inquired about the origin of this guest, who was Xie Gongzi, the owner of Chuwentang.

Chuwentang is the largest bookstore in the south of the Yangtze River, with more than a dozen branches, and there are also branches in the capital, so it is not difficult to know his identity.

Gongzi Xie asked him about Huo Sijin, but there was no major matter, but he just asked him to tell him everything he knew or heard about Huo Sijin in detail.

Although Jia Liang is the steward of the front yard, his nickname as Miss Jia is not for nothing, he has always been interested in the affairs of his mother-in-law and mother in the eyes of others, and his mouth is not strict, and he looks like a woman with a long tongue.

Therefore, he knows a lot more than others.

Miss Huo has ten taels of silver per month, which is the same as the fourth lady Huo Yuan, but the eldest lord Huo Jiang privately gave her forty taels a month from his own private account, as far as he knows, the people who can get fifty taels of silver in the capital are eight or nine out of ten of the super ladies of the noble family, and it is too rare for an official eunuch like the Huo family.

But the eldest lord Huo Jiang is very cold to this daughter, it is said that once Miss Huo was waiting for Huo Jiang to go down at the Hanging Flower Gate, but Huo Jiang only nodded at her, and went to the outer study in the front yard.

Jia Liang still knew a lot about trivial things like this, but he stopped abruptly and didn't continue.

"If you want to know about Miss, I'll ask you about it." Fifteen taels of silver, how can it be as good as fifteen taels of ten, eight, or even more?

Gongzi Xie just smiled lightly, and asked him to remember what he said today, and he would look for him again when he had time.

After speaking, Xie Gongzi also rewarded him with a fan pendant, which was jadeite, and it was worth dozens of taels.

But this thing is not something that a person of Jia Liang's status can take, he is not a free body like Ah Si, he is sold into slavery, this kind of thing can not only be taken out, but it is also used as a problem, if it is recognized, it is also a troublesome thing, maybe it will be considered as stealing the master's things.

The pendant is still buried under a large tree behind the house.

After that, he saw Gongzi Xie twice again, and each time he said something trivial, but Gongzi Xie listened attentively, and once he saw sadness in Gongzi Xie's eyes.

Having said that, just after seeing Gongzi Xie for the third time, Su Baofu found him and asked him to tell Gongzi Xie what he had said, and then say it as it was, otherwise he would have to tell the masters of the Huo family.

Jia Liang was scared half to death, he didn't know where he offended the people of Qingwangfu.

Helpless, he had no choice but to follow Su Baofu's instructions, go to Lao Cangzhou, and tell Su Baofu what he had said to Gongzi Xie again.

However, he kept an eye on it, and did not say it as it was, but only picked up a few small things that seemed insignificant to him.

But Su Baofu didn't seem to be too interested in these things, and he asked more about Xie Gongzi.

Only then did Jia Liang understand that Su Baofu was Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, which was intended for Pei Gong.

Su Baofu had only seen him once, and he didn't give him a tael of silver.

Since then, Jia Liang has sworn to bypass the people of Qingwangfu when he sees them, especially this one surnamed Su.

There are all kinds of circles in the capital, there are circles for civil servants, there are circles for military generals, there are circles for scholars, there are circles for ladies, and they also have their own circles for those who are in charge of the big families.

It didn't take long for Jia Liang to find out that there were not many people in their circle who knew Su Baofu, so he soon knew that the Huo family from Hangzhou was doing business with Fuwangfu and Qingwangfu, and it was the Huang family who sold peppercorns who came forward for Fuwangfu, and the one who came forward for Qingwangfu was Qingwang's companion Su Qian, and it was this Su Baofu who ran errands for Su Qian.

Jia Liang was taken aback, only then did he know that this Su Baofu was not only a person who followed Su Qian, but also had dignity in King Qing's mansion, if it were not for the approval of King Qing, Su Qian would not rashly let him come forward to deal with the Huo family and the Huang family.

He wanted to hide from Su Baofu from now on, but Su Baofu found him again, this time asking him about the eldest master Huo Jiang.

Huo Jiang is not Huo Sijin, how can he talk about it casually?

Jia Liang didn't dare to say it, but he was worried that Su Baofu would shake out the previous things, so he had to talk nonsense about a few inconspicuous things, but Su Baofu didn't embarrass him, so he sent him away.

A few days after this incident, Jia Xiaoan quarreled with people in the shop, and then Mrs. Feng wanted to sell Jia Xiaoan under the pretext, so he couldn't care about it, and wanted to extricate Jia Xiaobao wholeheartedly.

Huo Roufeng's eyes widened when he heard this.

Su Qian, or Qing Wangye, they are staring at Xie Sicheng!

If it were someone else, they would be able to find out about this person easily, but Xie Sicheng was not an ordinary person, he was the leader of the Taiping Society, how could they find out.

What does King Gyeongwang want to do? He wouldn't have the whims to stare at an ordinary businessman, his target was not the Buntang, but the Taiping!

Huo Roufeng thought of this, so she said to Zhang Ting: "Buy Jia Xiaoan first, let him meet Jia Liang, I have a shop outside the capital, find a shop and let him be an apprentice." ”

When she said this, she said to Bi Daoyuan with a smile: "It's okay for Jia Liang to see his son, let him tell Huo Jiang's affairs, he has been in the Huo family since he was a child, and Huo Jiang's affairs are far more important than Huo Sijin's." ”

She breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm becoming more and more interested in Huo Jiang, I hope he won't let me down." ”
