With the approach of the Spring Festival, the front of Ningguo Mansion has become crowded.

Some of them were subordinates who came to pay tribute to Bing, and some local officials went to Beijing to find their way.

The most are the big merchants in the capital, and the filial piety of the gang forces in the capital.

These people are all begging for a living under Jia Cong's hands, and when it comes to the New Year's Festival, they naturally need to come to the door to pay homage, and the five soldiers and horses also have a filial piety to send.

Jia Cong's current official position is equivalent to the combination of the director of the public security bureau, the director of industry and commerce, the director of the transportation bureau, and the director of the urban management bureau in the capital.

If these people want to make good money and do business well, Jia Cong, the great god, must be respected.

For the filial piety of these people, Jia Cong accepted it all.

In doing so, it is a good thing for everyone to feel at ease, and to make a small profit for themselves.

For some people who came to find a way, Jia Cong couldn't do it, and they all declined.

There are also some who have to leave filial piety, but Jia Cong did not insist, but asked people to send a return gift.

Since you can't help people, you don't make that little profit, and you are not a person who is short of money.

These filial piety are just dispensable for Jia Cong, whether they are the same for the New Year, but they are just in the officialdom, and they pay attention to harmony and light.

The doors and windows of Ning Guofu have been replaced with glass, replacing the original window paper.

The whole house is indeed a lot brighter, and it is warmer than the window paper.

Mandarin duck said: "Master, this time our house is much brighter, and we are not afraid of wind and rain, and the window paper is wet, which is indeed warmer, which is really good." ”

Ping'er said: "Master, then the window grilles we cut, are they still pasted?" ”

Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Paste it, paste it more festively, just stick it directly on the glass." ”

These window grilles cut by people are very beautiful, and they can be said to be master-level craftsmanship.

By the end of the year, Jia Cong was almost no worse, and even Lin Daiyu went less.

This year is the second year I have spent in Ning Guofu, and it is the first year since I became the Duke of Ning Guo, and my status has been improved.

When he was eleven years old, he lived in Ningguo Mansion, and at that time he was still busy practicing martial arts and training guards, and he passed the first year casually.

Now, Jia Cong has become famous and has become the pillar of the Jia family, and plans to spend the Spring Festival well.

With Jia Cong's intentional connivance, a large number of precious ingredients, delicacies from the mountains and seas, were bought into the house.

You Shi smacked her tongue again and again, there were so many delicacies from the mountains and seas, she had seen them for the first time.

"Brother Cong, are you going to do it? That's too extravagant, isn't it? ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, since we have money, what is this bit of food?" Even if you eat like this all year round, you can't eat poorly, this New Year, let you eat well and be full. ”

"Phew, why does that sound weird?"

You Shi glanced at Jia Cong with a little meaning, during this time, Jia Cong was at home every day, and she was also cheeky, invited Jia Cong to her room, and ate to her heart's content.

Now that I've taken the first step, I don't hold it anymore and work hard for myself.

Seeing that this kid still likes his own energy, he should still have some liking it, and he feels better when he thinks of it.

Jia Cong smiled, and suddenly thought of Miaoyu, and I don't know what happened to this girl?

According to this timeline, after the Spring Festival, the Grand View Garden should be built, and it is estimated that it will be autumn and winter after the garden is built.

At that time, Miaoyu had already entered the garden, and her master had passed away.

The teacher entrusted Miaoyu's girl to her own care.

I don't know if her master is still alive? Have you ever come to the house to look for yourself?

He glanced at You Shi and asked, "Sister-in-law, during the time I went to Yangzhou, did anyone come to the house to look for me, or a monk who asked for help from the house?" ”

You Shi thought for a while and said: "No one has found me here, as for whether anyone has come to the house, I don't know, I have to go to the concierge to ask, Brother Cong, who is it?" Does it matter? ”

Jia Cong said: "When we went down to Yangzhou, we met a pair of monks and apprentices on the road, the teacher was too proficient in innate hexagrams, and when he calculated that his limit was approaching, her apprentice also had a catastrophe, so she entrusted her apprentice to me, and I don't know what happened now?" ”

When You heard that it was a monk, he didn't think much about it.

"Since you are entrusted by someone, let's go and inquire, don't really need help, but you don't show up, it's not good."

Jia Cong nodded, since he had promised the teacher, he naturally wanted to protect Miaoyu.

As for the rest, let it be, and let it be.

Turning his head to Qingwen, he said, "Qingwen, you go to the gatehouse and ask, has Miaoyu's master and apprentice ever been to the house?" Find the crescent moon and ask, where are their masters and apprentices now, and do they need our help? ”

Qingwen glanced at Jia Cong suspiciously, and forgot who Miaoyu was for a while?

"Master, which one is Miaoyu?"

Jia Cong smiled: "You are not very old, but you are not too forgetful, when we went to Yangzhou, the pair of masters and apprentices we met, can you remember?" ”

Listening to Jia Cong's reminder, Qingwen suddenly realized.

"Master, you're talking about that beautiful little nun, right? No wonder you keep thinking about it, I'm going to help you ask. ”

Jia Cong shook her head with a smile and watched Qingwen bounce away.

Now that the glass here is installed, then invite Jia Mu over to take a look, and if she agrees, she will also change it, so that she will also be fresh, bright and bright.

"You tidy up a little, I'll go and invite the old lady and let her see if the glass doors and windows can be seen."

Ping'er said, "Master, are you preparing the old lady's meal?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Look at what the old lady means, it's too late to prepare." ”

When he came to Rongguo Mansion, the old lady's room, Jia Cong directly said what he meant.

"Old lady, the doors and windows over there have been replaced with glass, my grandson wants to invite you to go over and have a look, if you like it or not, if you like it, I will let you change it a year ago."

Jia Mu said in surprise: "All of your Dongfu have been replaced with glass doors and windows?" How do you see the results? ”

Jia Cong smiled: "I look pretty good, bright, warm, much stronger than the window paper, the old lady will go and see it herself, and by the way, let your grandson invite you to a host." ”

Jia Mu laughed and said: "You, a rich man, please host, it can't be too bad, let's go, let's go to eat together." ”

Yingchun, Tanchun, Li Kun and others all laughed.

Xichun shouted excitedly: "Let's go, let's go to eat a big family." ”

Jia Cong flicked on her little head and said with a smile: "You stupid girl, they all go to our house to eat our big family, what are you happy about?" ”

Xichun touched his forehead and looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

That means asking, are you going to my house to eat a big meal?

When everyone saw her cute appearance, they were all amused and laughed.

Jia Cong went to call Aunt Xue again, and Xue Baochai's mother and daughter, and the group sat in a small sedan chair and came to Ningguo Mansion in a mighty way.

At the second gate, he changed into a sturdy mother-in-law, and directly carried the sedan chair into the backyard and came to Jia Cong's yard.

The maids stepped forward and helped everyone out of the sedan chair.

Mother Jia got off the sedan chair, and the mandarin duck hurriedly stepped forward to help her and came to the house.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Old lady, when you come to my house, do you feel the difference?" ”

When the old lady heard this, she raised her eyes and looked around, feeling that the inside of this house was indeed much brighter, and her own room was much darker than here.

I saw the sunlight shining through the window, came to the window, looked at the glass inlaid on it, and reached out and touched it.

Looking out from the inside, the scene outside can also be seen clearly.

"Brother Cong, your house is indeed a lot brighter, the transparency of this glass is really good, this is much stronger than window paper, and it is not airtight at all, it should be a lot warmer, it is really good."

When the others came in, they also gathered around the door and the window to look closely.

Aunt Xue said: "The inside of this house is indeed much brighter, from the inside, you can also see the things outside, is that from the outside you can also see the inside?" ”

Jia Cong said: "You can really see the inside, but it's better to look outside, just close the curtains." ”

Wang Xifeng said: "This glass is very good, transparent and warm, I think it's very good, with this thing, who still uses window paper, Brother Cong, if it's not troublesome, change it for your sister-in-law." ”

Jia Cong said: "It's not too troublesome, you just need to measure the size, cut the glass, and then set it on the doors and windows, sister-in-law wants to change, my brother will naturally satisfy you, old lady, have you made up your mind?" ”

Jia Mu said: "This is replaced with glass, the house is indeed much better, let's change it for the old woman, I am also bright and bright." ”

Jia Cong said: "Okay, since the old lady has decided, then I will arrange someone to measure the size tomorrow, and then let someone cut the glass, and when it is ready, I will inlay the glass on the doors and windows for you."

If other people want to change, they should decide as soon as possible, there will be no such shop after this village, and if they don't make a decision today, they won't care about it before the year, and it's useless to come to me again. ”

Tanchun said: "Third brother, shall we change it there?" ”

Jia Cong said: "If you want to change it, you can change it, it's just a convenient thing." ”

Yingchun said: "Brother Cong, won't it be too troublesome?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Second sister, it's troublesome, you don't need to take care of it, you just need to decide whether to change it or not." ”

Tanchun said: "Change, let's change." ”

Jia Cong nodded, even if they were all changed, it would only take a few days.

"Auntie, do you want to change it together?"

Aunt Xue didn't rush to express her position, also because she lived in the Jia family's place, and if the house needed to be changed, the Jia family's consent was required.

Now that everyone is going to change the glass, if you change it yourself, others won't say anything.

"I think it's good, too, so please help us put it on, this time it's your light."

Jia Cong smiled: "Aunt is too polite, what's this?" It's just easy, in fact, it's not troublesome to change like this, you just need to cut the glass. ”

Xue Baochai said: "Brother Cong, what is the cost of glass now?" ”

The cost of this thing is really low, it is fired from some sand, as long as the process is perfect, the cost is very low.

However, scarcity is expensive.

The first interview of the glass thing is the same level as the crystal, and it is the only one.

Really make money in business, or the money of the rich is easy to make.

Jia Cong decided to define this glass as a symbol of the rich, something that only the rich can afford.

In this way, the price can be set higher, and the profit margin will be greater.

Besides, so many people guarded it, and put glass on them, and they didn't expect them to remember, and if it was too cheap, they wouldn't take it seriously.

"The cost of glass is still very high, at present, only the rich can afford it, and ordinary people can't afford it, and if it is listed in the future, it is only for the upper class."

Xue Baochai's eyes lit up and asked, "You have already planned?" Planning to go public? ”

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "No, I don't have this plan yet, there have been a lot of things recently, I don't have time to think about it, if Sister Bao has time, you can come over and help me think about it together, I can still trust Sister Bao's ability." ”

Xue Baochai didn't believe this at all, this bad boy probably wanted to trick himself into coming to him and come over to accompany him.

However, this is an upright excuse to avoid gossip.

"For the sake of your sincerity, my sister agreed to help you."

Baochai's answer surprised Jia Cong a little.

It's just a casual thing, and I didn't have any hope, but who knew that I gave an unexpected surprise, and it seems that Sister Bao also has her own ideas.

This is a good thing for me, and I will have more time with each other in the future to cultivate mutual affection.

"It's great that Sister Bao can promise to help, in this way, it will be possible to put the glass on the market next year, and my brother will definitely give you a big red envelope at that time."

Others were not interested in these things, and as soon as Wang Xifeng heard about the business, he immediately came over.

"Brother Cong, this glass business should be very profitable, right? Don't forget your sister-in-law when the time comes. ”

Jia Cong said: "I should be able to make some money, my sister-in-law wants to do it, so I will naturally take you one." ”

After everyone finished reading the novelty, they talked together.

Let Ping'er arrange the banquet, You Shi, Qin Keqing, and Mandarin Duck stayed to accompany Jia's mother, Aunt Xue, and others to talk.

Soon it was noon, and the feast was ready.

"Old lady, the banquet has been prepared, please come to the table."

There are a lot of people today, and three seats were opened directly, Jia Mu, Aunt Xue, You Shi, Wang Xifeng, Li Kun and others have a seat, the girls have a single seat, Ping'er, Mandarin Duck, Da Yuer and others also occupy a seat.

Seeing the dishes on the table, Jia Mu nodded with satisfaction.

A table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, precious delicacies, and several dishes, I have never eaten them, this kid is really willing to eat, and he is generous to himself and others.

Jia Cong sat at the old lady's table for a while, introduced her to the dishes on the table, drank a drink with her, and went to the girls' table and sat down next to Baochai.

accompanied everyone to have a drink, and the scene slowly became lively.
