However, it is said that since the opening of Jia Ji Silk Shop, business has been booming, and more and more dignitaries and nobles in Jinling City have come to buy.

Jia Lian's pockets also gradually bulged, and when the profits were the most abundant, the profit in a single day could reach one or two hundred taels, which was quite a considerable income.

As the saying goes, as long as a man has money, his waist can be harder, since the opening of Jia Ji Silk Shop, Wang Xifeng's attitude towards Jia Lian has changed greatly, and his speech is much softer than before.

Jia Lian enjoys this feeling very much, man, you have to be rich, otherwise it's.

However, in recent days, there has been a headache that has been plaguing Jia Lian.

I heard that the self-made silk of Jia Ji Silk Shop can be comparable to that produced in Jiangning, and these wives, girls, and even maids and women in Jiafu changed their methods to ask Jia Lian for silk.

In addition to his daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng, who asked for two horses, Jia Lian also secretly prepared one for Ping'er.

The old lady's five horses have nothing to say, she not only has to make clothes for herself, but also rewards others from time to time.

Although Mrs. Xing is her stepmother and once made trouble for Wang Xifeng, she also had to pass on face, and Jia Yu came forward to ask for two horses.

Mrs. Wang is naturally also two.

One horse for each of the three sisters of Exploring Spring, Cherishing Spring, and Yingchun.

If this continues, Jia Lian is worried that he will have to give it away if he finally earns some silver, and it will be difficult for him to refuse.

Among these people, only Lin Daiyu did not speak, but Jia Lian naturally couldn't shorten her, and personally picked two good styles and sent them to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

In recent days, the whole of Jiafu has been talking about Jia Ji's silk line, and Jia Lian has also become the talk of Jiafu after tea and dinner.

Although Daiyu has never liked to take advantage of small advantages, when she heard that everyone in the house had a share, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Coincidentally, at this time, Jia Lian personally sent it.

Zijuan took the silk with a smile and said, "I thanked Second Master Lian for the girl." ”

The implication is that my young lady has a bad temper, even if she doesn't thank her, Second Master Lian shouldn't be picky.

Jia Lian already had some understanding of Lin Daiyu's temper, so he didn't care, and said, "As long as Sister Lin likes it, it's fine." ”

Lin Daiyu tried the feel of the silk, and said with a hint of disdain: "Hmph, I'm afraid that someone else sent me something left, so I'm not rare." ”

Jia Lian thought to herself, why does Daiyu's words sound a little jealous?

explained: "Sister Lin is really good at laughing, the other sisters only gave one horse, and I carefully selected these two of yours." It's just that I haven't been available lately, and I've only sent it to you until now. ”

Zijuan also said on the side: "Girl, I think these two horses are really better than the silk given to the other girls." ”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I will thank Second Brother Lian." ”

Jia Lian looks at Daiyu, the more she looks at it, the cuter she becomes.

Although Daiyu is unforgiving, it is not really how difficult it is to serve, on the contrary, Jia Lian even thinks that even her angry appearance is cute.

Jia Lian went back from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but he heard Wang Xifeng talking to someone in the house, so he didn't enter the door.

When Ping'er saw Jia Lian, she hurriedly walked out and greeted, "Why didn't the second master enter the door?" ”

Jia Lian pouted at the nunu in the house and asked, "Who are you talking to?" ”

Ping'er said: "Jiao Erzhuang of the Eastern Mansion. ”

Jiao Erzhuang is Jiao Da's only son, who works as a chorre in Ningguo Mansion, and has not been treated by Lai Er, the chief housekeeper of Ningguo Mansion.

Jiao Da had two sons, Jiao Da Zhuang and Jiao Erzhuang, Da Zhuang had smallpox when he was twelve years old, and he was gone.

Erzhuang has been honest and upright since he was a child, and he is quite similar to Jiao Da, and he is also very proper, but he has received Jiao Da's burden, and he has not lived well in Ningguo Mansion.

However, Er Zhuang can see this, being a slave is just for a bowl of rice to eat, no matter if he is unsatisfactory, he can't be a master.

Wang Xifeng once said to Jia Lian that if Jiao Da had half of the vision of Erzhuang, he would not end up like this.

Jia Lian wondered, "What is he here for?" ”

Ping'er replied: "His father Jiao is seriously ill, I'm afraid it won't work, the people of Dongfu don't care whether they live or die, he has no way, he came here to beg grandma to come." ”

As soon as Jia Lian entered the house, he saw Jiao Erzhuang kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Sister Feng vigorously, and said bluntly: "Second grandma, please." ”

Wang Xifeng said helplessly: "Erzhuang, you get up and speak first." ”

But Er Zhuang didn't seem to hear Sister Feng speak, just knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, when Sister Feng was helpless, she saw Jia Lian coming back, and hurriedly said: "Second Master, you come and persuade him, I have nothing to do." ”

Jia Lian hugged Erzhuang's arm and picked him up, Erzhuang's forehead had broken a large piece of skin, but he didn't seem to feel it.

Jia Lian asked, "Erzhuang, what happened?" ”

Er Zhuang looked at Jia Lian, didn't feel a sour nose, sniffed, and said, "Second master, my father is no good, he was killed by them." ”

Jia Lian said: "If you are more careful, who harmed and how?" ”

Er Zhuang paused for a moment and continued: "Lai Er, it is Lai Er's harm. He let my dad sleep in the stable, and let him sleep there all winter. Last month, my dad had a lung cough that didn't stop, so I went to the pharmacy and grabbed a few pills for him to take, but he got better. I pleaded with Lai Er many times, and gave my father a different place to live, but he scolded him back, and a few days ago my father's lung cough became more and more serious, and it seemed that it was going to fail, and I begged all the people in the house, but no one was willing to take care of it. I really had no choice, so I came to ask my second grandmother for mercy and save my father. ”

Jiao Da is a thorn in the side of many people in Ning Guofu, and they can't wait to get rid of him as soon as possible.

It's not surprising that any master would like to talk about the past all day long, and keep exposing the master's short minions.

It's just that he has landed in this field now, which Jia Lian never expected.

In the final analysis, Jiao Da just saw through the unbearableness of Ning Guofu, and more or less hated iron and steel.

And there is no sensible person in Ning Guofu.

Jia Lian said: "I know everything. No matter what, you can't die without help, so be it......"

Jia Lian was halfway through his words, Wang Xifeng coughed and signaled him not to continue, she said, "Second master, come out, I have a few important words to say to you." ”

Jia Lian smiled and patted Erzhuang's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll come when I go." ”

Er Zhuang nodded, but there was deep concern in his eyes.

Anyway, Sister Feng called Jia Lian out and said in a low voice: "Second master, why are you confused, you can't wade in this muddy water." ”

Jia Lian said disapprovingly: "I can't see death without help, right?" ”

Sister Feng replied: "My second master, you just need to think about how bold Lai Er of Dongfu can be, and he dares to do such a thing without support?" ”

Jia Lian was surprised: "What does the lady mean, is this what Brother Zhen means?" ”

Sister Feng poked her head and knocked in, making sure that Jiao Erzhuang was not eavesdropping, before she said, "Who else can he have?" Last year, Jiao Da drank a lot of alcohol and exposed the scandal of his family's climbing ashes in public, which made Brother Zhen lose face. According to Brother Zhen's temperament, how can he be tolerated? ”

Jia Lian grinned and asked, "Lady, you said that Brother Zhen really climbed the ashes?" ”

Sister Feng slammed a hammer on Jia Lian's chest and said, "It's all this time, and you're still talking these bastard things." If you help Erzhuang now, you will definitely offend Brother Zhen. ”

Jia Lian squinted his eyes and thought.

Jia Zhenma...... In his eyes, he is a scumbag.

If you offend, you will offend, nothing is a big deal.

Of course, Jia Lian didn't deliberately get along with him, the key is that he took a fancy to Jiao Erzhuang and hoped to recruit him as his little brother.

To tell the truth, since Jia Lian crossed the Red Mansion, he didn't even have a brother of his own, not only did he not look good-looking, but it was also inconvenient to do things.

Jiao Erzhuang is exactly the person he needs.

Jia Lian said: "Lady, I'll help you with this." ”

Jia Lian said and walked straight into the house.

"You ......"

Sister Feng looked at Jia Lian's back with some annoyance and followed.

Jia Lian walked into the room, patted Er Zhuang's shoulder again, and said, "Er Zhuang, no matter what, it's important to save people." I'm going to order someone to ask the best doctor in Jinling to see your father's illness, you don't have to worry about money, it's all in my account. There's just one thing, you have to promise me. ”

Seeing that Jia Lian was willing to help him, Er Zhuang was overflowing with gratitude, and he rubbed his hands together and said, "The second master commands." ”

Jia Lian gently pressed Er Zhuang's hand and said, "You can't tell others that I paid for the doctor." ”

Er Zhuang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I listen to the second master." ”

Jia Lian took out three silver tickets worth one hundred taels and said, "You can take these silver and spend them first, and then come to me if they are not enough." ”

Er Zhuang took the silver ticket with trembling hands, he never dreamed that Jia Lian would give him so much silver, only to see him immediately kneel down in front of Jia Lian, and sobbed: "The second master's great kindness, Er Zhuang has been a cow and a horse in this life, and he can't repay it." ”

Jia Lian hurriedly picked it up and said, "You go first, and when I'm done with this, I'll go to visit Brother Jiao." ”

After Jiao Erzhuang left.

Sister Feng was still puzzled, and said, "Second Master, is it really worth it for you to do this?" It's just a subordinate, and it's not necessarily as good as you think. ”

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Lady don't worry, I have always been very accurate." ”

Sister Feng was noncommittal: "Then I really have to polish my eyes, wait and see." ”

Jia Lian said: "Seriously, we should also have reliable people." Look at these maids up and down the house, which one is not for himself first. Even the Wang'er you brought from the Wang family can't always be of the same mind as you. There is only one Ping'er, but she is a girl's family after all, and it is inconvenient to show up for many things. ”

Sister Feng said: "The second master wants to reuse Jiao Erzhuang?" ”

Jia Lian squinted his eyes and said to himself, "You might as well give it a try." ”

…………

It is said that last time Yuanchun asked Jia Lian to send a few more pieces of silk into the palace, and she gave them to the sisters in the palace, Jia Lian has always taken this matter to heart, and picked out the best batch of materials and sent them in.

I have to say that the concubine Niangniang is good at talking, and within a few days, the Internal Affairs Office sent someone to pass the word and asked Jia Lian to go to the Internal Affairs Office to reply.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the agency that specializes in the administration of royal affairs, such as royal daily meals, clothing, storage, etiquette, engineering, farms, animal husbandry, guards, and mountain fishing, as well as salt administration, collection of customs, and collection of tribute.

Jia Lian's reply was passed on by the Department of Guangchu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was in charge of the treasury of the Inner Mansion, and received six warehouses of silver, leather, porcelain, satin, clothing, and tea.

Due to the special status of Jiafu, Guangchu Shilang Zhongxiao Xianrang personally received Jia Lian.

Jia Lian had no merit at this time, and only claimed to be a late student, only to see him rubbing his hands together, bowing, and saying: "Jia Lian has seen an adult in a late life." ”

Xiao Xianrang had a fat head and big ears, and his face was full of meat, and he didn't smile when he said angrily, and said, "Second Master Lian is exempt." Yesterday, the concubine sent someone to send a piece of silk, saying that it was woven by Jia Ji silk and satin, so that Ben Lang could test the color. ”

Jia Lian hurriedly answered and said, "It is the noble concubine Niangniang who was woven by Jia Ji Silk Village and personally given to me a few days ago." ”

Jia Lian deliberately emphasized that he personally gave it to Yuan Chun, implying that Xiao Xianrang had a close relationship with Yuan Chun.

Xiao Xianrang naturally understood Jia Lian's intentions, and the two of them tacitly understood it, only to see him say: "It's good for me to look at satin." It's just that you have to know that the things used in the palace are no better than those in your own house, no matter how big or small, all affairs must be extremely careful. ”

Jia Lian echoed: "That's nature. ”

Xiao Xianrang continued: "It's good that you understand, any shop, anyone who wants to do this kind of business in the palace, must be reviewed by this adult, and you should go back and prepare for your life." ”

Xiao let the words go halfway first, obviously testing Jia Lian.

Jia Lian dealt with the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the first time, how did he know the evaluation criteria of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? said that he was prepared for his life, but it was just a pretext, but in fact, he didn't say anything.

Fortunately, Jia Lian had prepared in advance, and saw him come to Xiao Xianrang's side, quietly stuffed him with five hundred taels of silver tickets, and said in a low voice: "Please mention it to your lordship." ”

Xiao Xianrang glanced at the silver ticket, quickly picked it up, pointed at Jia Lian and said with a smile: "You are a sensible person." I have an inspection document here, you take it back, one by one, you need to pass all the customs. ”

Xiao Xianrang picked up a piece of paper from the side and handed it to Jia Lian.

I have to say that Xiao Xianrang is really a chicken thief, he has already prepared the documents, and he is waiting for Jia Lian to take the bait.

In all dynasties, procurement is the most corrupt profession, and there is no one, this is also a matter of no way, and Jia Lian cannot change it by himself.

Fortunately, they are all things that can be solved with a little silver, and if you can win this business in the palace, why worry about not making money.

Jia Lian took the slip and looked at it, which was full of various requirements:

First, weaving mills that can produce 3,000 pieces of silk and satin per year can be included in the procurement list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Second, once there is a quality problem with the silk of the tribute, the qualification to enter the palace for one year will be cancelled.

Third, the Guangchu Division inspects the weaving workshop once a year, and only those who pass the assessment can be selected.

And all that.

Jia Lian took a cursory look, and most of the requirements were soft requirements, and to put it bluntly, they could all be done with silver.

It's just that the first requirement is to have an annual production capacity of 3,000 horses, and Jia Ji Silk and Satin cannot reach it for the time being, but Jia Lian thinks that the problem is not big, as long as he can take over the business in the palace, expanding production is a matter of course.

Jia Lian must let Xiao Xian understand that as long as he supports Jia Ji Silk and Satin Xing, there will be more benefits in the future.

Therefore, he smiled and said: "Thank you for your guidance, and the great grace will be repaid!" ”

Xiao Xianrang nodded with satisfaction, and secretly thought to himself: Who said that there is no one in the Jia family, I think this second master Lian can be very patient, and sooner or later he will be able to achieve great things.

Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
