The next day, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng really took advantage of the fact that no one was there to tell Jia's mother about it.

Jia Mu is a shrewd and calculating old lady, and nodded again and again when she heard this:

"You're right! If the Yuanchun girl is not selected, it will be fine, since she is selected, she should naturally climb up.

Could it be that she was a female official in the palace for a few years, and when she was old, she was released?

It's hard for the phoenix girl, think about it thoroughly, don't worry, how much silver you need, you just take it from the public. ”

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "The old lady is making fun of me again, although I am young, I am not that shallow-eyed."

Now that I am also the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, I should naturally think about it for the house.

I can still afford a few bars of soap. When I run out of money, I will cry and beg my ancestors to reward me. ”

Jia Mu smiled when she said this, and she was even more satisfied with Wang Xifeng in her heart.

Mrs. Wang judged the situation and said to Sister Feng: "Although you have this filial piety and want to contribute to the family, in the end, you are a daughter-in-law, you have to explain this matter clearly to your mother-in-law, don't let her misunderstand anything." ”

Jia Mu naturally understood Mrs. Wang's words, and snorted: "What can the eldest lady misunderstand?"

This is what Feng Yatou brought from her mother's house, and she didn't touch the money in the gongzhong, and she didn't let anyone share it.

If you really get benefits, you will lose a share of her brilliance?

You don't have to worry about it, if she has some gossip, I can reply to her! ”

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng looked at each other and smiled.

With Mother Jia's words, Mrs. Xing couldn't think about Sister Feng's soap.

In the next few days, Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang were busy, and they had to entertain the personal exchanges between old relatives and friends, and they had to prepare the things to be used in the mansion for the New Year, and they also had to manage the Chinese New Year's Eve sacrifice to the ancestral hall.

Zhan Guang and a few other Qingke also went home for the New Year, and Jia Baoyu finally didn't have to run to the study every day.

At first, I thought it would be interesting to have Qin Zhong as a companion, but since Jia Zheng raided and inspected it once, and asked him to copy ten articles and eight shares every day, Jia Baoyu was too lazy to go.

Jia Lu was also free, thinking that he hadn't asked about jade for a few days, so he went to the courtyard where Jia Qiang rented, knocked on the door, and saw that Jia Rong was also there.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were a little surprised when they saw Jia Lu, and hurriedly said hello.

"The third uncle has to come and sit with me today, please come to the house quickly." Jia Qiang beckoned Jia Lu into the house.

Jia Lu said with a smile: "Mr. Zhan went home, and the second master said that let's rest for two days, and we don't need to study, so we will come to you to have a look."

Brother Rong, I haven't seen you for a long time, okay? ”

Jia Rong said: "The blessings of the third uncle are all good." I'm fine today, so I'll come and see Brother Qiang. ”

Jia Lu pointed to his face and asked, "Brother Rong, what's wrong with your face?" ”

Jia Rong hurriedly subconsciously covered it with her hand: "I was drunk and drunk, and I accidentally touched it, so I won't hinder it." That, I still have some other things, Third Uncle Lu, Brother Qiang, you stay, I won't accompany you. ”

Saying that, he also fled.

"Third Uncle sits ...... inside," Jia Qiang put Jia Lu into the house again.

"Jia Rong, is this letting Brother Zhen beat him?" Jia Lu was not polite when she entered the room, and sat straight on the chair.

"Uh...... How did the third uncle guess? Jia Qiang couldn't help but be stunned.

Jia Lu smiled: "Isn't this simple? Except for Brother Zhen, who would dare to hit him? He is the eldest grandson of the Rong Mansion, and he is not like me. Why was he beaten? ”

"Ahem...... I don't know, Brother Rong didn't tell me. He just said that the Chinese New Year was approaching, come and see me, send me some silver, and ask me if I lacked anything. ”

Jia Qiang's gaze wandered a little, obviously not saying the time.

Jia Lu didn't ask, but changed the topic and asked, "How is Leng Zixing's business over there?" ”

As soon as Jia Qiang heard this, she suddenly came to her senses: "The third uncle didn't ask, I just wanted to say it!"

This Leng Zixing really has some doorways, I didn't know that he actually knew so many big families in Beijing!

Isn't this the end of the year, it's all gifts, and his business is very good, and he actually sells all these ruyi, ornaments and toys made these days! ”

"Really?" Jia Lu was also a little surprised.

"But isn't it, I got a total of two thousand three hundred taels of silver, and I was thinking about sending it to the third uncle." As he spoke, he pulled out a small box and took out a thick stack of silver tickets.

Jia Lu picked up the silver ticket and shook it, she was really a little excited, is this money so easy to earn?

Could it be that those royal relatives and nobles in Chang'an City are the same as Jiafu, the scenery outside is tight inside, and they have to buy these fakes to give away people to fill the façade?

"I've taken it all, but do I have any money to buy saltpeter and stones?" Jia Lu asked.

Jia Qiang replied with a smile: "How much money can I use to buy those?" I've set it aside. ”

Jia Lu nodded, counted two thousand taels, and stuffed the remaining three hundred taels to Jia Qiang: "It's the New Year, these are your dividends." ”

Jia Qiang was a little at a loss for a while, and pushed Jia Lu's hand out and said, "Third uncle, I just learned to make some sour water from you, where can I give so much?" ”

Jia Lu stuffed the silver ticket into Jia Qiang's arms and said, "If you give it to you, you will take it, where is there so much nonsense?"

You learned this craft but didn't leave me to do it alone, which shows that you are a reliable person, and this is what you deserve.

Ordinary people get so much silver so quickly, who is not tempted? Even for your loyalty, you deserve it. ”

Jia Qiang's eyes turned a little red when she heard this, and she choked up: "What did the third uncle say?" When I escaped from Ning Guofu, if it wasn't for the third uncle who pulled me and taught me this craft, I wouldn't be what I am now, I ......"

Jia Lu smiled and patted Jia Qiang's shoulder and said, "Okay, there is no need to mention the past." In the future, follow the third uncle to work hard, and ensure that you eat and drink spicy food. ”

Jia Qiang touched a handful of tears with the back of her hand and nodded: "Third uncle, don't worry, I am your most loyal dog!" ”

Jia Lu laughed out loud when she heard this, and didn't say anything, but took out another ten taels of silver tickets and said, "You send these ten taels to Jia Yun, and I won't go." ”

Jia Qiang said: "Third Uncle doesn't have to give, I took so much, just share some from me and give it to Brother Yun." I'll give him twenty taels! ”

Jia Lu straightened his face and said, "You all work for me, so naturally I should pay for this money." If you want to give favors and pretend to be a good person, wait until you become the owner yourself! ”

Jia Qiang hurriedly nodded yes.

Jia Lu said again: "Ten taels of silver is already a lot, have you always heard the words of Shengmi En's fight against Mi Qiu?" Don't let him think it's too easy to make money. If you give more this time, he will feel that you should give him so much next time. Slowly, it's time to get insatiable. ”

Jia Qiang reluctantly agreed. Jia Lu didn't know if she was talking about Jia Yun or him.

"Third uncle, there is another thing, this Leng Zixing always takes things and leaves, and he doesn't say who he sold it to, nor how much silver he sold......"

Jia Lu smiled: "We don't have to worry about this matter, he sells 1,200,000 taels, it's his own ability."

It's good that we only earn what we deserve. As for who to sell to, we don't know it's better.

Alright, I'll go back first. Don't treat yourself badly after the New Year, buy two new clothes, and find a maid to serve, you are alone and miserable, strange and pitiful. ”

Seeing Jia Lu walking away, Jia Qiang couldn't help but sigh again: Third Uncle Lu is really a person who does great things!
