Chapter 274: The Wind
Jia Liang's family said that they were bought, but in fact they were redeemed, Jia Liang didn't dare to say more, but Jia Liang had a brother named Jia Lin, a few years younger than Jia Liang, before their family was sold, he had just been promoted to steward, although it was not as fat as Jia Liang, but it was also decent. But before his ass was hot, he was sold by the owner, and he was very unwilling, even if he became a free body, he was even more angry. I used to eat and drink at the Huo family, but now what does the family eat and drink? Even if he goes to sell himself with a straw mark, no one will buy him to be a steward.
I heard that my nephew went to Baoding's shop as an apprentice, and I heard that it had just passed, and at the end of the year, he not only gave two catties of pork, two frozen fish, five catties of white flour, five catties of eggs, but also gave five taels of silver in a big red envelope, it is said that the apprentices each of the red envelopes were only one tael of silver, and the big shopkeeper specially instructed him to go down, saying that he raised a family alone, and the child had a difficult life, so he was specially given five taels of silver.
Although the nephew couldn't go back to the capital for the New Year, he asked someone to bring the things in the shop, along with the five taels of silver, back to the capital.
When Jia Liang got these things, he cried without hesitation.
Jia Lin's daughter-in-law saw it and asked Jia Lin to go to Jia Liang to ask for silver.
They were disliked by the old lady because of Jia Liang's father and son, and they were sold, and it didn't matter if they didn't have money at that time, but now that they have money, they have to at least share half of them to make up for the loss.
Jia Lin originally thought that Jia Liang would share at least two or three taels of silver with him in brotherhood, but he didn't expect Jia Liang to say that he would save the five taels of silver for his son to marry his daughter-in-law in the future.
Jia Lin picked up two fish, touched a nose and came back, after Jia Lin's daughter-in-law heard about it, she scolded, Jia Lin felt that she had no face, and when she saw Jia Liang go out, he followed behind, wanting to go outside and talk about it.
Unexpectedly, Jia Liang went to the pawnshop, and when Jia Liang came out of the pawnshop, Jia Lin also went in, asked the court, and learned that Jia Liang went to be a jade wrench.
When their family came out of the Huo family, they were checked by seven or eight stout women, and it was determined that in addition to the clothes on their bodies, they did not even bring a single piece of cloth out of the Huo Mansion.
It must be the eldest brother who quietly hid the jade wrench finger outside the mansion, and now that he is free, he took out the good things.
Why did Jia Liang know this in advance?
Also, why does my nephew have such a good opportunity to go to Baoding as an apprentice?
Who is the person who pretends to buy them, but in fact ransomes their family?
The more he thought about it, the more Jia Lin felt that he was being cheated by his eldest brother.
He also learned from the pawnshop that the jade wrench was worth ten taels of silver.
Ten taels, the eldest brother used to be in charge of procurement, that is the fat difference, although it is rare to show up in front of the master, there are few rewards, but the people who are on errands in the East Mansion of the Huo family know that there are usually only four masters in the East Mansion, the old lady and the fourth lady are not good to wait, and they have not seen anyone rewarded all year round, the new eldest lady is thin in manpower, and there are often rewards, and the reason why the eldest brother is disliked by the old lady is because of the fact that he did things for the eldest lady.
This jade wrench, eight or nine times out of ten, is rewarded by the eldest lady.
The eldest lady must have rewarded a lot of good things, but the eldest brother was all hidden outside, and he refused to even say anything about his own brother.
As soon as he remembered that Jia Liang refused to give him even the five taels of silver, Jia Lin was trembling with anger, he was guarding the door of several shops that the Huo family often went to, and finally met He Liu.
He Liu used to help Jia Liang run errands, and He Liu knew Jia Liang's affairs best.
Jia Lin bought pig's head meat and peanuts, and beat a pound of sorghum, so he didn't drink a few cups, He Liu said vaguely: "Your brother, the road is wild, the old lady only wanted to sell your nephew alone at the beginning, and then sold your family, what do you think is the matter, it's not that your brother is chasing the Yongfeng Huo family's little guy on the street, the old lady is not faceless, so she sold your family." But have you ever thought about it, how could your brother even know the people of the Yongfeng? The little guy he chased was not an ordinary errand runner, it was the little guy next to the ninth master of the Huo family, Huo Jiu, you should have heard of it, it was the one who took out more than 100,000 silver to buy military rations, and also opened a hall of merit. ”
Jia Lin nodded again and again, and He Liu said again: "I'll tell you, it's your blessing to follow your brother, your brother not only knows the people of Yongfeng, but he also knows the people of Qingwangfu." ”
Jia Lin was taken aback, Yongfeng is just a merchant, it is not surprising that Jia Liang can know him, he is a purchaser, maybe he often goes to Yongfeng's shop to purchase things, and he is familiar with Huo Jiuye's little guy as soon as he comes and goes.
But what is going on in Qingwangfu, how did Jia Liang know the people in Qingwangfu?
He Liudao: "For a while, your brother was mysterious all day long, anyway, I didn't have anything to do at that time, so I quietly followed your brother, and your brother got up early in the morning, so he found an excuse to go out, I thought it was strange, so I followed from a distance." ”
"Your brother went to the shop that sold sheep intestines in Lao Cangzhou, I looked outside for a while that day, and I saw a handsome boy walking out behind your brother, I inquired later, who do you guess that person is? He is Su Gongzi in King Qing's mansion, and King Qing's companion since childhood.
"Later, when I asked about it, your brother denied it, and he even said that he had never heard of Lao Cangzhou. So I was also very angry, but secretly followed your brother, and then I knew that your brother had been to Lao Cangzhou a few times after that, and he was very good-looking at that time, in order for your nephew to enter the shop, he spent a lot of silver to make points, and nine times out of ten the silver was obtained from this matter. ”
The more Jia Lin listened, the more frightened he became, one day he took advantage of Jia Liang's absence at home, so he entered Jia Liang's house and rummaged through it, except for the five taels of silver, he thought there was nothing else.
Jia Lin's daughter-in-law cried and wiped her tears, which was nothing more than saying that her life was very bitter, even more bitter than Coptis chinensis.
Jia Lin was upset by his daughter-in-law's crying, so he simply didn't look for it, and when Jia Liang came back, Jia Lin closed the door and forced Jia Liang to take out all the good things, including the reward he got in Lao Cangzhou. “
Jia Liang probably didn't expect that even Jia Lin knew about his trip to Lao Cangzhou.
Jia Liang had no choice but to beg each other, but Jia Lin disagreed, and he even said that he wanted to publicize this matter.
Jia Lin did what he said, and really said around the street that Jia Liang had quarreled with him a few times, but he didn't do it.
But Jia Liang never expected that just yesterday, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Lin was killed by a sword, and just yesterday morning, Jia Lin was killed in his own bed, and when Jia Liang came, Jia Lin was still lying on the bed.
