Infrastructure masters in the red building

Why five years? ——Jia Fang didn't know why.

He just casually mentioned a deadline: Maybe he subconsciously felt that he could complete the construction of the Grand View Garden within five years anyway, and then he would run away and return to the modern society smoothly.

Of course, Jia Fang couldn't answer Shui Xian that way. He thought for a moment and said, "For the time being, the term will be five years. After five years, we will talk about the renewal."

After thinking about it, Shui Xian also felt that it was reasonable, and said yes, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up the hot dishes and began to taste. While tasting, he glanced at Jia Fang, his eyes seemed to ask: Is it not to your liking?

Jia Fang also raised his chopsticks.

The fresh stir-fries brought up by Wanqing Building are not heavy oil or meat, but mostly fresh seasonal vegetables, some are fried with bacon, some are fried with gluten, fresh and refreshing, although the taste is very light, but the big kitchen in Bija Mansion The dishes are much stronger.Jia Fang tasted two chopsticks and felt that they were very suitable for his own taste. He immediately whetted his appetite, no longer reserved, and used chopsticks like flying.

Shui Xian watched him eat and drink, and gradually put down his chopsticks, with a smile on his lips, and patted his hands lightly.Immediately a waiter from the shop came in, Shui Xian whispered a few words, and the waiter immediately responded and went out.When I was young, Jia Fang's favorite two kinds of stir-fries were delivered again, as if they were auto-renewing.

Jia Fang was a little embarrassed, but Shui Xian, who was sitting across from him, smiled and said, "It's rare to meet someone with similar tastes to me."

Jia Fang was right after thinking about it, so he was not polite with Shui Xian, and he was full in the blink of an eye.He put down his chopsticks, sighed comfortably, showing a very satisfied expression, got up and thanked Shui Xian.

The agreement reached earlier by the two felt that it was unnecessary to put it on paper—after all, the 1000 taels of silver bills had now arrived in Jia Fang's arms, and Jia Fang couldn't do without the craftsmen of Baigongfang.After two discussions, Jia Fang bid farewell to Shui Xian, and the waiter in his own shop led him out of Wanqing Building, called Zhao Cheng who had already had a full meal, and returned to Rongguo Mansion.

After Jia Fang left, Shui Xian sat alone in front of the remnant seat, thinking for a while, but remained silent.

On the other hand, shopkeeper Ren of Baigongfang sneaked into the private room and stood opposite Shui Xian for a long time holding his breath. Seeing Shui Xian looking at the empty seat opposite, he suddenly smiled.

Shopkeeper Ren quickly took this opportunity to clear his throat so that Shui Xian could see him, and asked in a low voice, "But it's settled?"

Shui Xian nodded: "It's settled."

He laughed very happily just now, but now his smile gradually faded away, with a bit of admiration on his face, he sighed softly, and said, "I am so optimistic about my fate at such a young age. If I were in his position, I might not be so happy." So open-minded."

Shopkeeper Ren took a look and saw tableware and tableware neatly arranged in front of Jia Fang's empty seat.The few dishes near him are all neatly "disc".

Shopkeeper Ren followed the brain circuit of his proprietor, and suddenly felt a little bit aggrieved, and asked loudly: "Is the Rong family treating the young master so harshly?"

Shui Xian blinked, and said: "Not necessarily, Xu simply thinks that the food here is more palatable."

Shopkeeper Ren hesitated for a long while before asking in a low voice: "Do you think Mr. Jia is really constantly coming up with all kinds of fresh... ideas? Isn't this a flash of inspiration? Let's invest money in him... …does it worth?"

"The person chosen by the emperor will take over the garden left by King Qing... What do you think?" Shui Xian asked rhetorically. "Besides, the third son Jia now has 1000 taels of silver in his hands. The situation of Rongning Second Mansion...Let us wait and see."

Jia Fang didn't know that the entire Rongguo Mansion was complained about because of his appetite.He returned home with "a huge sum of money" in his arms, but ran into his second brother Jia Zheng at the gate of the house.

Jia Zheng asked Jia Fang with his hands behind his back, "Why haven't I seen you go to school?"

Jia Zheng is not very old, only three years older than Jia Fang, but he has become a "wonderful flower" in Rongfu - at least Jia Fang thinks so.

When Jia Zheng said this, he was able to keep his face flat and without any expression, and his tone of voice did not fluctuate in the slightest.Jia Fang felt that the masters who taught in schools, and even the young monks who chanted scriptures in temples, spoke better than Jia Zheng.

He didn't know that Jia Zheng had always been taught by his parents (especially his mother) to be proud of being upright and upright, and ashamed of Jia She's vivaciousness and detachment.But when Jia Fang saw his elder brother asking about it, he still lowered his hands honestly, and replied: "Father has other errands for me to take care of. This school... I won't go to school for the time being."

Jia Zheng immediately turned his face away, frowned tightly, and began to teach Jia Fang: "Only by reading can you be sensible, and if you don't understand, how can you do business. When your father tells you, you should fight for it."

Jia Xin was amused: This Jia Zheng really has a nerdy temperament.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Jia She thought that the third brother was moved by what he said, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Go, second brother will take you to see your father together, resign your errand for you, and go back to study hard."

Jia Fang was taken aback. He really didn't expect that Jia Zheng would help him out because of this incident, but looking at Jia Zheng's eyes, it seemed that he was really sympathizing with himself, a "child who dropped out of school". Bite the bullet and explain:

"I heard that this is an errand assigned by the palace, and it is specified that it will be handed over to the children of Rongfu. The eldest brother has no time, the second brother is busy studying, and the younger brother is an idler, so naturally the younger brother should take the lead. "

When Jia Zheng heard this, he said, "Is this really the case?"

Jia Fang nodded quickly, thinking about what kind of effect this reason would have on Jia Zheng. Who knew that when he looked up, he saw that Jia Zheng had come to him, staring at him seriously, with a full expression on his face? full of emotion.

Jia Zheng called out affectionately: "Third brother!" At the same time, he stretched out his arms and patted Jia Fang's shoulders vigorously.

"Second brother!" Jia Fang felt inexplicably that he was Zhang Yide from Yan at the moment.

Jia Zheng turned his face away, wiped the corners of his eyes for a while, then turned his head, took Jia Fang's hand and walked into the courtyard of Rongguo Mansion together, and said as he walked, "It's like this every time. The same is true for Ling... for the sake of the eldest brother and the second brother, I have really suffered for you!"

When the old lady of the Rong Mansion passed away, Jia Fang, instead of Jia She or Jia Zheng's two grandsons, went to guard the tomb, which is actually quite strange.The Rong Mansion only said that the old lady was kind to Jia Fang in nurturing him, so he made such an arrangement, but not only the aristocratic families in Beijing found it strange, in fact, both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also secretly felt strange—but they dared not Just ask.

"Third brother works hard on errands. When you look back, don't forget to come and sit with me from time to time. Second brother thank you very much." At the end Jia Zheng did not forget to tell Jia Fang, "If you don't understand the principles of the sages in the books, don't worry about it." Just ask the second brother. Don't thank the second brother, it should be."

Jia Fang nodded, dumbfounded, and felt that Jia Zheng didn't seem to have any bad intentions. It was just a matter of personality and acquired education, which made this political second master a nerdy temperament, and his actions and thinking were a bit rigid and rigid.

Once he got rid of Jia Zheng, he hurried to Jia She's place - the elder brother promised him to help him find a manpower, Jia Fang is going to inform now that manpower can be found.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Jia Fang's request, Jia Amnesty asked in surprise, "Third brother, did you really raise money? How much did you raise?"

After learning that Jia Fang had raised 1000 taels of silver, Jia Amnesty had a strange expression on his face. He reached out and picked up Jia Fang's collar, and looked him around.

Jia Fang was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jia Amnesty purposely said with a straight face, "I'll just see if your arms and legs are still intact." After finishing speaking, the guy poked Jia Fang's forehead with a look of resentment: "You child, at such a young age, you don't know the dangers of the world, so what kind of usury do you borrow when you go out!"

Jia Fang: ...I didn't borrow usury!

But he also knows that loan sharks are loans with high interest rates, and interest rates are high.The principal of 1000 taels he borrowed will be rolled into 2000 taels with interest in a short time.

But Jia Amnesty was still rambling: "You don't know how powerful loan sharks are. After two months, I guarantee that you will even use your underwear to pay back the interest... 1000 taels, you child! Hurry up and find a way to get rid of it." The money is paid back, let's find another way."

"Don't ask me how I know" was written all over Jia Amnesty's face, and at the same time tried his best to dissuade Jia Fang, which shows that he understands the disadvantages of loan sharks very well.Jia Fang had no choice but to explain to his elder brother again that the 1000 taels he got was definitely not usury, but he borrowed it from a close friend without interest.

Unexpectedly, Jia She snorted: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. People are willing to lend you such a large sum of money without charging any interest. How can there be such a thing in the world?" Good thing!"

Jia Fang knew the inside story, so he naturally knew that Jia Amnesty's warning was not true.

However, Jia Amnesty also reminded him: King of Beijing deliberately compromised and handed over, is it really as simple as the mutual benefit of capital and technology?
