Chapter 186: War Horse
"Mom, why the hell are you doing that?"
Xue Baochai really couldn't understand Aunt Xue's intentions.
Has Jia Lian treated them badly in recent years? The expanding influence of the Xue family and the Feng brand and the wealth that continue to come in can't tell the story.
At this time, Xue Pan finally felt that something was wrong: "Sister, what are you talking about, what happened?" ”
"A few days ago, when the old lady of Renjia's family was entertaining the orders of the families, she said in front of the orders of more than ten families that I followed the second brother without a name or a distinction, and it was not clear.
forced the old lady to say on the spot that she wanted to marry me as soon as possible. ”
"Isn't that nice?" Xue Pan was simple-minded and didn't hear anything wrong. He also thinks that it is not good for his sister to run to Jia's house every day because she is so nameless and scoreless.
"yes, yes, that's a good thing!" Aunt Xue was even happier when she saw her son's support.
Xue Baochai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If the Jia family takes the initiative to marry me first, it will naturally be a good thing." But is that the case now? Where do you put me in such a hurry?
The second brother had already told me that when his title reached the marquis, he would marry me and Sister Lin together, and I also agreed to it in person. The Lin family is the future prime minister, and no one said anything, is our family qualified to want to suppress others? ”
Aunt Xue said a little embarrassed: "I didn't think about it so much, I just think your uncle ......."
Xue Pan understood at this time: "Mom, our family is now living on Brother Lian, you listen to your uncle, what can your uncle give you?" Confused. ”
Aunt Xue was also a little hesitant when she was said, she looked at the children in front of her, did she really do something wrong.
"What did Uncle tell you?" Xue Baochai now wants to know what Wang Ziteng is planning to do.
Wang Ziteng wrote back from the border army, and she knew it. It's just that she really didn't expect Wang Ziteng to instigate Aunt Xue to make a move on Jia Lian.
"Your uncle said that you and Lin Yatou will have the same status in the future, with Brother Feng and Ai'er here, Brother Lian's title will definitely not be counted on.
But with such a huge family business as Shunzi, it will definitely be even more unimaginable in a few decades.
At this time, one step earlier is one step, the sooner you marry Lian'er and give birth to his child as soon as possible, things will be easier in the future.
Your uncle also said, don't look at the people behind Lin Yatou, there are people behind you. The Xue family is not enough to see, but your uncle is likely to be promoted to the Great Sima after returning to Beijing, and he will not be worse than Lin Yatou and her father at that time. ”
Xue Baochai's face was pale, although she leaned on Jia Lian in this life. But for the Wang family and Wang Ziteng, she has never lacked the heart to do her best.
Since she arrived in the Northland, she has been in charge of the Feng Zi Brand, and every New Year's Day, the New Year's gift she sends to the Wang family is unique. Especially Fengzihao, who has been making money every day in the past two years, she also has enough financial resources to do so.
She didn't have any second thoughts about Jia Lian, but simply wanted to fight for Aunt Xue.
After all, compared to Mrs. Wang, the Wang family despised Aunt Xue very much. When she first arrived in Tianjin, Aunt Xue took her to Beijing and lived near Wang's house.
Just in time for the birthday of Wang Ziteng's wife Li. invited Mrs. Wang, but ignored the Xue family, which was close at hand. At that time, looking at the lost Aunt Xue, Baochai was determined to fight for Aunt Xue.
It's not that it's not without effect, the Wang family pays more and more attention to Aunt Xue, and usually the Li family often makes a post and invites Aunt Xue to go back and sit. It can be seen that Aunt Xue is very happy.
I'm afraid this is the reason why Wang Ziteng hasn't returned to Beijing yet, and a letter directly says that Aunt Xue is moved.
The daughter of the Wang family, attaching importance to her mother's family is visible.
Because of Lin Rui, children can't go to bed late. So after a short time of shopping, Jia Lian took Lin Rui and Lin Daiyu back to Lin's house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lin Ruhai and Jia Min staring at the five hundred catties of beef jerky in a daze.
"Lian'er, can you tell me what these are?" Lin Ruhai saw Jia Lian coming, pointed to a pile of beef jerky and asked.
"Beef jerky, I've tasted it, it's delicious." Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai funny, as if he really felt that the dignified officials didn't know beef jerky.
"Of course I fucking know it's beef jerky. But what do you want to do with so much beef jerky? Lin Ruhai burst into foul language.
There was no way, when he heard Jia Lian's little guy say that Jia Lian bought these beef jerky, he felt some liver pain.
After all, for the Zheng people, beef is a rarity. Except for the nobles who have a fief Zhuangzi at home, even a big man like Lin Ruhai, who has reached the top of the civil service, can't eat beef in his spare time.
After all, cattle are a treasure for farming peoples.
Although Da Zheng subdued the Hu people on the grassland, he was not always able to get cattle from the grassland. Now that Jia Lian is actually buying beef jerky, Lin Ruhai, who has seen so much beef jerky, is distressed. How good it is to buy cattle directly.
Wait, buy cattle. Lin Ruhai looked back at Jia Lian who was smiling.
"That's right, the reason why I bought so much beef jerky is to let Qing'er visit the Mongolian station. Qing'er, tell me about it. ”
"Auntie, I went to those Mongolian residences, so many Mongolians live together, it stinks......"
Jia Lian kicked up: "Let's talk about the point." ”
Qing'er scratched her head embarrassedly: "Those Mongolians brought at least a few thousand catties of beef and mutton jerky and a lot of cattle and sheep, probably knowing that beef is rare in Dazheng, so cattle are the majority." ”
"Okay, okay." Lin Ruhai took Jia Lian's hand: "This beef is good to buy, how much is it, I gave it." Also, Which Hu person is where? Go to him at once, you can't let him kill cattle anymore. ”
Lin Ruhai couldn't wait to go out in person to talk to the Mongolians about business. It's really that I haven't been a pro-people official. But Lin Ruhai's concern for people's livelihood has never been less. It's too difficult for an ordinary farmer to want a cow.
"Don't worry, Master, I've already negotiated with those Hu people. Tomorrow I will go and buy cattle from them, and let them stop killing them.
But there are at least a thousand cows in that herd, and the price they ask is not low, so it's not easy to buy. ”
Lin Ruhai looked at Qing'er approvingly: "It's okay, I'll go to fight with the household early tomorrow morning, if Sun Fatzi dares not to give money, I dare to start Jingcha immediately and set a bad deal for him." ”
Jia Lian comforted the excited Lin Ruhai: "Uncle, don't be impatient." The most important thing is not the thousands of cows, but what is happening on the grassland? ”
"Huh? What do you mean? After all, Lin Ruhai didn't have much experience in side affairs, so he didn't know what Jia Lian meant.
"The fact that the grassland is willing to sell thousands of cattle to the Central Plains obviously means that they have more cattle and sheep.
After all, according to Qing'er, those cattle and sheep are very strong, and they don't look like they are starving. So, can we find a way to go to the grassland to get more cattle and sheep, and even, not just cattle and sheep! ”
"What else?"
