It was said that Jia Lian was about to leave, but was stopped by Yuan Chun, and he wondered in his heart, so he asked, "What else does Niangniang command?" ”

Yuan Chun looked shy, and said, "In the future, when there are no outsiders, we will still call each other as when we were children, right?" ”

Jia Lian didn't remember anything from before, so he could only pretend to be confused and said, "I don't know which title Niangniang is referring to?" ”

Yuan Chun glanced at Jia Lian, thinking that he hadn't even forgotten this, so he was a little disappointed, and said: "In the past, I called you Brother Lian, and you called me Sister Yuan, have you forgotten?" ”

Jia Lian's head is full of black lines, Sister Yuan, this title is also a bit too ......

But he soon noticed Yuan Chun's cannibalistic expression, and had to change his words: "Then from now on, as long as there are no outsiders, I will call you Sister Yuan." ”

Yuan Chun showed a gentle smile and said, "Brother Lian, it's not too early, you can go back first." ”

Jia Lian said goodbye to Jia Yuanchun and returned to Jiafu from the palace.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly listened to the situation of entering the palace and asked, "Second master, is the mother still satisfied with the birthday gift?" ”

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Your father-in-law is out of the horse, naturally there is nothing that cannot be done." ”

Wang Xifeng asked: "Does Niangniang have important things to explain?" ”

Jia Lian shook his head and said, "Niangniang only said that she should be frugal from now on, and she didn't have anything else to explain." ”

Jia Lian naturally couldn't tell the conversation between himself and Yuan Chun, and some things, even to Sister Feng, had to be kept secret.

Sister Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My mother, this matter has finally been dealt with." ”

But Jia Lian's heart felt very heavy, Jia Yuanchun's words had been lingering in his mind, the emperor was already planning to start, and there was not much time left for Jia Fu.

He had to act as soon as possible.

Based on his understanding of the Dream of Red Mansions, the copying of Jiafu is directly related to the Zhongshun Palace, and it is very likely that there is a huge net hidden behind the Zhongshun Palace, and even the royal power is involved.

However, Jia Lian now knows very little about this, he is still just a white body, and he has no chance to contact the inner circle at all.

After careful analysis, Jia Lian found that Jia Fu is now facing two serious crises.

The first is the internal crisis of Jiafu, which is now facing a very serious financial crisis, and has reached the point where it is beyond its means, which can be seen from this incident of the birthday ceremony of the concubine.

In order to solve the financial crisis, it is necessary to expand the source of income of Jia Fu, and Jia Lian has already made a preliminary plan, that is, to develop the silk business.

The second crisis of the Jia Mansion is the political crisis facing the outside, and in order to resolve this political crisis, it is necessary to re-establish the status of the Jia family in the treacherous and changeable Shenwu court.

And if you want to do this, relying on Jia Zhengna's gift, you can't rely on the five rank of outsiders, you must have a stronger voice to compete with the Zhongshun Palace.

As the emperor said, Jiafu eats the king's lu, but is not loyal to the king, and the men in Jiafu are a group of wine bags and rice bags.

"Then it's up to me."

Jia Lian thought silently in his heart, if others are unreliable, then he will take the exam first.

…………

On this day, Zhou Rui's family came to Jia Lian to reply and said, "Second master, according to your instructions, all the fields in the house have been planted with mulberry trees. ”

Jia Lian took the booklet and looked at it carefully, and all the hundreds of acres of fields in Jiafu were planted with mulberry trees, which made him very satisfied.

Jia Lian said: "In a few days, you can accompany me to the fields to have a look." ”

Although it seemed that his policy was being implemented very smoothly, Jia Lian was still relieved and planned to check the effect himself.

Zhou Ruijia replied: "Got it." ”

After Zhou Ruijia finished replying, he did not quit immediately, as if he had something to say.

Jia Lianyin asked, "Sister-in-law Rui, do you have anything else?" ”

Zhou Ruijia cautiously replied: "Second master, last time you said in front of everyone that you wanted to make a living for the tenants who planted mulberry trees. Now that the mulberry trees have been planted, some anxious tenants have come to ask, how early did the second master send them to do the work? ”

Jia Lian patted his head and said apologetically: "You see that my memory is becoming more and more useless." These days, I was busy preparing for my mother's birthday gift, and I forgot about it, but fortunately, my sister-in-law reminded me. You only go back and tell the tenants, and in these two days I will be able to give them work to do, and I am afraid that they will not be able to keep busy." ”

Zhou Rui's family was a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Second master, don't worry, I'll go and tell the tenants." ”

After the departure of Zhou Rui's family.

Jia Lian walked around the yard and didn't see Sister Feng, so she asked, "Ping'er, where is the second grandmother?" No one was seen in the morning. ”

Ping'er put down the needle and thread in her hand, got up and replied: "The second grandmother went to the old lady early in the morning, saying that she had made an appointment with the old lady and the wife to play cards together. ”

Jia Lian originally planned to go to the carpenter shop with Sister Feng, but after thinking about it, since Sister Feng was not there, let's invite Ping'er to come along.

In the past few days when she came to the world of Red Mansions, Jia Lian and Ping'er had only a handful of opportunities to get along alone, and even if they did, they were only a few words, and occasionally wanted to play with Ping'er for a while, and Sister Feng suddenly appeared.

Sister Feng is not here today, so she happened to go out of the house with Ping'er to go shopping and cultivate her feelings.

Jia Lian said: "Ping'er, I'm going out of the house to do something, you come with me." ”

Ping'er was a little surprised, in the past, Jia Lian mostly went out to have fun, and it was too late to hide from the second grandmother and herself, but today she took the initiative to invite herself to go together.

Seeing that Ping'er didn't talk, Jia Lian smiled and put his hands on Ping'er's shoulders and said, "My good Ping'er, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

Ping'er felt a burst of heat at the base of her ears, twisted her body in shame, and said, "Second master, be careful of being seen." ”

Jia Lian has been greedy for a long time, but because of Sister Feng's obstruction, she didn't succeed for a long time, and today Sister Feng was not in the house, so she let go of her courage and said, "She is not in the house, what are you afraid of?" Okay, I miss you to death. ”

Ping'er deftly broke free of Jia Lian's arm and said with a smile: "Didn't the second master just say that he was going out to do something?" I'm going to prepare the car. ”

With that, Ping'er went out with a happy step.

Jia Lian looked at Ping'er's back, calmed down a little, and said to himself: "Hehe, sooner or later, you won't be able to escape my clutches." ”

In a quarter of an hour, Ping'er had already prepared the carriage.

Jia Lian boarded the carriage and went to the carpenter shop with Ping'er.

Along the way, Ping'er was puzzled: "Second master, there is a lack of use at home, you just have to say it, I let people buy it, so why bother you to make this trip." ”

Jia Lian pretended to be mysterious and said, "You can't buy this thing I want." ”

Ping'er became more and more puzzled: "What is it, I can't buy it?" ”

Jia Lian smiled: "Silly Ping'er, you wait patiently, you will know in a while." ”

Ping'er was a little unhappy, pursed her lips and turned her head aside.

Jia Lian had never seen Ping'er have such a delicate and lovely side, so she couldn't help but feel itchy in her heart, and kissed her little face while she wasn't paying attention.

Ping'er covered her face, looked at Jia Lian with shame, and said, "Second master, you are a hooligan!" ”

Jia Lian smiled: "You are originally the person in my room, and it is a matter of course for me to kiss you, why do you want to be a hooligan?" ”

Ping'er said that he was no more, so he changed the topic, looked aggrieved, and said: "You say that people are stupid, I don't think there is anyone more stupid than you in the world." ”

Jia Lian couldn't help but upturn the corners of his mouth, Ping'er's cute appearance picked him up again, just at this time the carriage was bumpy, Jia Lian took advantage of Ping'er's unstable figure, took her into his arms, and said with a smile: "You still want to run?" ”

Ping'er was ashamed and angry, but she couldn't break free, so she had to beg for mercy: "Second master, this is on the street, you can do it, spare me, you don't have a face, I still want a face." ”

When Jia Lian heard this, he hugged him tighter, and said: "How can you ask for someone like this, if you are willing to call me Brother Lian, I will let you go, otherwise, I will hold you like this for a while and get out of the car, do you believe it or not?" ”

Ping'er believed it, Jia Lian is a well-known playboy brother in the house, what shameless thing can't he do?

In desperation, he had to blush and whispered: "Brother Lian......"

Jia Lian deliberately pretended not to hear it, and said, "What did you say, I didn't hear ......"

Ping'er's face turned even redder, and it took all her strength to make a normal-sized voice: "Brother Lian, you can spare me this time." ”

Jia Lian let go of Ping'er with satisfaction.

While the two were talking, the carriage stopped in front of the carpenter shop in Ho Kee.

The shopkeeper of Ho Kee's carpenter shop was a swarthy man who was nearly fifty years old, and he looked honest and honest.

Shopkeeper He knew Jia Lian, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, spoke politely, and said, "Second Master Lian, what kind of wind blew you here." If there is something missing in the house, just ask someone to come and spread a message, and I will send it to you, so why bother you to come in person. ”

In the area of Ningrong Street, who doesn't want to have something to do with the Jia family, the Jia Mansion will pluck the roots casually, which is enough for them to eat and drink for a while.

Jia Lian took out a drawing and handed it to Shopkeeper He, saying, "I want this thing, I'm afraid you don't have it yet." Let's see if you can make it like this? ”

Shopkeeper He took the drawing with both hands, looked at it once, and didn't recognize what it was.

Jia Lian saw that Shopkeeper He looked like he was in the rain and fog, so he smiled and said, "How is it, you can see why you haven't seen it?" ”

Shopkeeper He waved his hand at Jia Lian, signaling that he needed to take another look.

He began to learn carpenter skills with his master at the age of five, and has been around for more than 40 years, relying on the spirit of craftsmanship to win a good reputation, so that he has become a well-known carpenter shop in Jinling City.

Jia Lian felt that Shopkeeper He was a somewhat interesting person, so he simply didn't urge, and found a stool to sit down.

Shopkeeper He flipped over the drawings and looked at them several times, and said in disbelief: "Second master, could this be a loom?" ”

Jia Lian nodded slightly, cast an appreciative gaze, and said: "Shopkeeper He really has good eyesight, this is the new type of loom I personally invented and designed, can you see if you can build it?" ”

Shopkeeper He pointed to some disc-mounted devices on the drawings and asked, "I don't dare to say that I will definitely be able to build them now, second master, what do you think these circular mechanisms are for?" ”

Jia Lian explained: "This is the transmission mechanism, I designed a foot pedal transmission mechanism here, when you step on the pedal with your foot, the loom will run without affecting the operation of the hand, which improves the efficiency of weaving a lot." ”

Jia Lian has investigated the looms in the current world, which are all hand-cranked and very inefficient.

Jia Lian not only improved the transmission device, but also redesigned the way the loom is fed in, if two people work together at the same time, the efficiency of weaving can be increased by four or five times.

Shopkeeper He was also amazed: "The design of the second master can be called a magic workmanship, and He admires it very much." ”

Ping'er on the side looked at the dense various devices drawn on the drawings, and said suspiciously: "Second master, you locked yourself in the study a few days ago, and studied this all night?" ”

Jia Lian smiled: "How is it, do you think I'm amazing?" ”

Ping'er was surprised: "My mother-in-law, how did the second master have a long brain to come up with such a strange device?" I just get dizzy when I see it. ”

Jia Lian smiled, he just used a simple mechanical principle to make some changes to the existing loom, which could surprise others so much, and Jia Lian also felt a little proud in his heart.

Jia Lian said: "Shopkeeper He, are you sure?" ”

Shopkeeper He thought for a moment and made up his mind: "I don't dare to say that I am very sure, but if the second master can be trusted, I am willing to give it a try!" If it can't be made, He won't accept a penny. ”

Jia Lian saw that the shopkeeper He was also a man of temperament, and he was very temperamental, so he said: "In this case, I will hand over this business to your He Ji carpenter shop to do, there is only one thing, you are not allowed to leak the drawings to anyone." ”

Shopkeeper He replied: "This is natural, the second master can only rest assured." ”

Jia Lian continued: "You are not allowed to make it privately, you must get my consent, and the loom built according to this drawing can only be sold to me." ”

These looms are Jia Lian's secret weapon to make money, and naturally they can't be learned by others.

Shopkeeper He thought for a while and said, "But listening to the second master's orders, it's a pity that it's just such a good thing that can't benefit the world." ”

Jia Lian thought about it, and the shopkeeper He was reasonable, so he said: "When the time is ripe, I will allow you to sell it to the outside world." ”

Jia Lian agreed with the shopkeeper He to inspect the goods ten days later.

On the way home, Ping'er kept looking at Jia Lian with a look of adoration, which made Jia Lian quite uncomfortable.

Ping'er said: "Second master, since you recovered from a serious illness, I feel like the second master has changed as a person. ”

Jia Lian secretly laughed: I am not the Jia Lian you know, I am just a time-traveler who looks exactly the same.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Then do you prefer me in the past, or me now?" ”

Ping'er blurted out: "Of course it's you now." ”

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Jia Lian took the opportunity to take Ping'er's little hand, put it in his heart, and said, "Then I want to listen, what do you like about me?" ”

Ping'er realized that she was being molested by Jia Lian again, and pretended to be angry: "I don't like anything." ”

Jia Lian smiled: "I don't know who is saying that they like me now?" ”

Ping'er restrained her smile and said, "People think that the second master is really powerful, and he can draw such a delicate loom." ”

Jia Lian smiled evilly: "I still have a lot of powers, you will see it sooner or later." ”
