Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Because I want to open a club, I want to make more friends and meet some capable people in order to improve myself."

Mother Jia frowned when she heard the words. She didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of the men outside, but she was willing to support the progress of the family.

She knew all the gentlemen raised in Jia Zheng's study, and thought it was good.

Because those people all have a skill, or they can write, or play music, or know painting, or know the magic of gold and stone.

This is also where she prefers her younger son. Compared to Jia Zheng's elegance and studiousness, the eldest son only knows how to raise his young wife and eat flower wine at home, which makes her look down on him.

However, in order to support Qing customers, did they build such a big house?

Jia Mu wondered: "Then do you have enough money on hand? If not, I have some here. You can use it first."

Upon hearing this, Jia Qiang bowed slightly and said, "The money is enough, thank you for your kindness, old lady."

Jia's mother became more and more curious: "I asked someone to ask, you didn't bring any money with you when you came out of the East Mansion. Although you went out to pay for a business, you can earn 4000 taels of silver by selling some barbecue?"

Jia Qiang was not surprised that Jia's mother knew this, but she was surprised that she knew it so simply and crudely.

But before he could open his mouth, Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "My ancestor, don't underestimate Brother Qiang's business. I heard from Sister Yun'er that many orders from the Hou Mansion have come to her second aunt to find Qiang. Brother Qiang’s prescription is used to make a fortune. Brother Qiang did business with the Marquis of Huai’an and made a lot of money.”

Mother Jia and the others were shocked again, looked at Shi Xiangyun together, and asked, "Is that true?"

Shi Xiangyun ate too much just now, but now his face was flushed, and he said with a naive smile: "Isn't that the case? Even my second aunt was thinking about whether I could get Brother Qiang's prescription. The Huai'an Hou's mansion is less than a month old. I made hundreds of taels of silver, but it made my second aunt hungry..."

As soon as this remark came out, Jia Mu's face changed.

Xue Baochai, who was sitting next to Shi Xiangyun, hurriedly pulled her back, and said with a smile, "It's all my fault. I drank too much wine with her just now, and I was drunk and talking nonsense."

After all, Jia's mother was born in a historian family, and it really embarrasses her that her natal nephew and daughter-in-law have such thoughts.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Baochai approvingly, then smiled and said, "Can you earn that much? It seems that the barbecue is delicious."

Everyone's attention was diverted, and they all guessed how delicious it must be to earn so much money.

Even Jia Mu laughed and said, "I forgot about this one."

Jia Baoyu smiled happily and said: "I have eaten some, it tastes like the barbarians in the Western Regions, my ancestors and wives must not be used to it. But the cream fruit ice made by Brother Qiang is really delicious."

Seeing Jia Baoyu's eyes, Jia Qiang smiled slightly, and said, "It was supposed to be sent to the mansion for old ladies and ladies to taste. But as Bao... Bao's second uncle said, the method of roasting meat comes from Hu Fa in the Western Regions has a spicy and spicy taste. People who like to eat are all people who don’t pay attention to the method of health preservation, and those who practice martial arts are fierce. That’s why the Marquis of Huai’an set up the business at the gate of the barracks. The second uncle Bao used to eat , there is no chili added, so he thinks it is not tasty."

After hearing this, Jia's mother was relieved, and said to the girls of Jia's family who were eager to try: "Brother Qiang said the truth, those heavy and explosive tastes seem to be enjoyable to eat, but in fact they are not good for the body at all, muddy legs If the common people lack salt and taste, they just like to eat it, and people like us can't touch it."

The topic changed, and he said again: "Even if you can earn hundreds of taels of silver a month, but you have only been out of the house for two months, how can you save 4000 taels of silver?"

Jia Qiang said: "In addition to Hu Fang from the Western Regions, I also found out two prescriptions for dyeing cloth. One of them has been obtained by Hang Seng Cloth Shop, one of the eight major cloth shops in the capital, and Wang Shouzhong, the young owner of Hang Seng No. My friend. There is another prescription for sale, based on Wang Shouzhong's valuation, such a prescription is worth no less than 3 taels of silver. Therefore, there is no shortage of silver to buy a house."

As soon as these words came out, the Rongqing hall fell silent.

3 taels of silver is by no means a small amount for the Xue family whose wealth is in the millions.

Two prescriptions, you can get 6 taels of silver...

Others aside, it's not because their eyelids are too shallow, but Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Qiang with his red phoenix eyes, as if he was about to eat him up!

She exhausted her mind to put ushers, and only earned a few dollars a year...

After pondering for a while, Mother Jia asked slowly: "The prescription is really worth 3 taels of silver? Don't you think it's for the sake of the Supreme Emperor..."

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said: "Old lady, although the Supreme Emperor praised me, those words can only protect me, so that I won't be bullied for no reason, but they can't let me rely on it to do my best. And, now Qingliuzhong scolded me, the Wang family is a businessman, and if they can't hide from me, why would they spend 3 taels of silver to please me?"

When Jia Mu heard the words, she seemed to have the same reasoning, but she was puzzled again, and said, "Why is someone scolding you in the scholastic community?"

Jia Qiang heheed, and said: "They think that what I said is too flattering, and I have no character at all. I am a lucky villain who seduces the king and wants to enjoy the blessings."

Mother Jia recalled what Jia Qiang said she had heard, suddenly smiled, and said: "You said that it is a good thing for the Supreme Emperor to spend some money to build the palace, shouldn't it be scolded? But people like us, as long as With the title of the ancestors and the presence of the holy family, it doesn't matter if those officials scold you a few words. You were praised by the Supreme Emperor a while ago, and you were said in front of the Tian family and all the old ministers that you are a good boy and a good boy. Understandable people. I read it today, and it is indeed a good one. I wronged you earlier, so I don’t need to mention those things. From now on, you will come to the yard more often to study with your second uncle Bao."

The palace is about to come to a critical time, and she doesn't want to let an unstable factor outside.

Just go into the mansion first, and then drive out after the important matters in the palace are settled.

For the sake of the Jia family's great affairs, she is willing to suffer some more grievances.

Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Jia Qiang didn't feel grateful, but instead said: "Old lady, I'm going to leave Beijing tomorrow, and I have something to do in the south..."

"Are you going to the south?"

Jia's mother frowned immediately when she heard this, she didn't want Jia Qiang, who could cause trouble, to leave her surveillance range from the bottom of her heart.

It's impossible to go to the south, why can't that girl from the Xue family enter the palace?

Isn't it because of the good things her goddam brother did in the south?

If Jia Qiang also caused a catastrophe in the south, it would implicate Jia's family and the palace!

Just when she lowered her face and wanted to object, she suddenly heard a movement from the direction of the door, a girl reported that it was the master and the second master Lian who came...

Sure enough, after a while, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian hurried in with unhappy expressions.

Seeing Jia Zheng's face, Jia Mu's heart sank.

Seeing that Jia Zheng's eyes were on Lin Daiyu's face for a moment, Fang said in a heavy voice, "Mother, my brother-in-law in Yangzhou sent a letter saying that he is not well enough, so let my niece go back to serve the sick."

As soon as these words came out, the complexions of Jiamu and the others changed, and Lin Daiyu's little face was even paler without a trace of blood.

If it wasn't for the horrific illness, and worrying that there would be no children to fulfill their filial piety at the time of death, why would they send someone to pick them up at this time?

Chapter 81 Introspection

"What's going on? What's going on? How did you get to this point?"

When Yuanyang and Dai's mother were asked to send Daiyu, who had fainted from crying, to the Nuan Pavilion, Jiamu recovered and asked.

Jia Zheng's face was sad. He had a good impression of Lin Ruhai, his brother-in-law, and he admired him very much.

Lin Ruhai was born in the clan of noble lords for many generations, and his background is not bad, not to mention this, but also in his studies, he has achieved great achievements, and he is ranked among the best in the gold list!

Not to mention Jia Zheng, even when Jia Daishan was alive, he loved this beautiful son-in-law.

Later, Lin Ruhai's performance was really good, and he won the trust of two generations of emperors. Emperor Long'an had just ascended the throne, so he sent this beloved minister to the south to take charge of the most important place, the salt administration.

This is the world's number one fat vacancy!

In this kind of vacancy, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, but Lin Ruhai's performance is almost impeccable.
