Jia Hu, a fan of wealth in the Red Chamber

It was late, and the three of them were about to head back home.

Shen Tuqian pulled Wei Jiang and landed behind Jia Hu, and looked at Jia Hu walking a few steps ahead with his head held high, and said in a low voice, "The jade pendant you just gave Brother Hu is not your family's heirloom. Jia Yupei? You just gave it to Brother Hu?"

Wei Jiang's eyes fell on Jia Hu's body, with a tender expression on his face, "He's fine! I like him!" It was an announcement and an announcement of sovereignty.

Shen Tuqian: "..."

As soon as you come up, you will zoom in, can you still have a good chat?

"You have to think clearly. You are twelve now, and you will be thirteen after the new year. The second aunt has been looking for girls for you. If you know that you have taken a fancy to this guy, you should know what the consequences will be." "It's his cousin who has the best relationship with him after all," Shentu Qian kindly reminded.

"You can rest assured about this matter, I know it well." Wei Jiang is confident that what he wants will eventually come true.

"That's good." Although he said that he has always abandoned Jia Hu, in fact, Shen Tuqian has always liked Jia Hu. The so-called high places are too cold. For people like them, it takes a year for someone like them to treat them with the original intention. Rare thing.Jia Hu is a capable person, Shen Tuqian doesn't want Jia Hu to be killed before he grows up.

There were two carriages parked outside the door. Wei Jiang took Jia Hu and walked straight to his own carriage. After helping Jia Hu to get on the carriage, he turned around and said to Shen Tuqian, "I'll take Hu'er back to the mansion, and you go first." Let's go back."

Shen Tuqian looked at the two of them, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, he turned around and got into his carriage, and left.

Of course, the carriage that the prince and son of the county rode in was not comparable to that of Jia's family. It had a huge space inside and was covered with soft and exquisite blankets that were tributed by big food.A pot of silver charcoal fire was lit early in the carriage, snowflakes were flying outside, but the interior of the carriage was as warm as spring.

As soon as Jia Hu got into the car, he immediately fell into the carriage, rolling on it like a child.

What satisfied Jia Hu the most was that the Wei family's carriage was luxuriously decorated on the inside, but it was completely low-key on the outside, fully interpreting the low-key luxury and connotation to the fullest.

At this time, the weather outside the car is gloomy, I'm afraid there will be a heavy snow waiting tonight.

"How many days has it been snowing?"

Fiddling with the charcoal fire, Wei Jiang explained for him, "It's already the sixth day, and it hasn't stopped since the day we returned to the capital. Look at this, I'm afraid there will be a snowstorm this winter."

Jia Hu paused, raised his hand to cover his eyes and looked into the distance. In the wind and snow, the mountains in the distance were white, and some tall trees were bent down by the snow, not to mention those old and dilapidated trees. Residential house?

"I'm afraid that people affected by the disaster will come over in the past two days. I remember that there is a Wuyuan temple outside the city. There are not many Taoist priests in the temple, but it occupies a large area. Qingfeng, you go back and let the general manager Shang discuss with the temple master. In the past, we followed the standard in Jinling. If the temple master agrees, our mansion will provide the food for the victims.” After a pause, he continued, “Go back to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs and see what the master said a few days ago. Are the canopy beds made ready? If there are good ones, get them as many as you want, and each bed can accommodate at least one more person."

"promise."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let Steward Lin pay more attention. If there are disaster victims entering the city, the mansion must give porridge and alms. It doesn't have to be limited to temples and Taoist temples, you can also set up a shed outside Ningrong Street , Anyone who enters the city due to a disaster can receive a meal and thick clothes."

"Yes." Qingfeng took the order and got out of the carriage.

Wei Jiang hurriedly said, "Luo Yun, you go with Qingfeng."

"Yes."

Looking at Jia Hu's frowning little face, Wei Jiang couldn't help but raised his hand to caress it, "Don't worry, earlier, the sage had already noticed that this winter was unusually cold, and asked Six Departments to discuss disaster relief. Those Taoist temples and temples have also arranged temporary residences early. Although it is impossible to take care of all the people affected by the disaster, at least some people can be saved, right? You are still young, and these things should not be your worry. Be careful. Not too big."

Jia Hu rolled his eyes at him: "Say it as if you are so much older than me!"

Jia Hu didn't know this truth, but who made his heart soften?Although he loves money, he has no psychological burden to use a knife on those who have no worries about food and clothing, but when facing ordinary people, he has no way to do that, anyway, he just can't pass the test in his heart.

Although he loves money, he is not the kind of stingy person, and he is never stingy where money should be spent.If not, how could the well-informed Mrs. Xu love him so much?

However, the current situation is fine, and he has not heard any news of a disaster due to snow. It is useless for him to worry here. It is better to go back and sort out a disaster relief report and make it practical, so he no longer struggles.

He changed the subject, "Unexpectedly, Jia Zhu from my second uncle's family is quite valued by the King of Zhongyi. I remember that most of the people who followed the King of Zhongyi today came from the residence of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, right?"

"Exactly, besides Jia's family, there are also Chen's, Niu's, Shi's and Ma's families, and one is a side branch of Ximen's family."

Jia Hu was silent. These families were similar to theirs. After several generations, the Duke’s mansion could not be kept. Most of them didn't grow up, and died in the battle in the back house.Just like him, if it wasn't for him who was reincarnated as Jia Hu, according to the original work of the Red Chamber, I'm afraid that Jia Hu in the original work would not have lived past the age of three.

The family that is declining day by day does not want to find out the root cause, but only puts its hope on the merits of the dragon, thinking about continuing the family's glory, but has no eyesight, did not make the right bet, and will be liquidated in the future. I really can't blame others.

Moreover, based on his observations over the years, his father's unscrupulous temperament was probably formed on purpose by his great-grandfather and great-grandmother.Isn't there a saying called "Gong Gao Zhen Zhu"?The two generations of the Jia family and the four princes, tsk tsk, if there is a third generation, the Jia family may not survive today, right?It's a pity that all the painstaking efforts of the ancestors were in vain. How about marrying a wife who is not worthy and ruining the three generations?

There was silence in the carriage. Fortunately, General Rongchang’s mansion arrived not long after. Jia Hu bid farewell to Wei Jiang, and declined Wei Jiang’s proposal to take him into the house. Just kidding, it’s so late. One, if there is something good or bad, who can he turn to for reasoning?

After seeing Jia She and Gu Shi, Jia Hu went back to his little nest, changed from the laziness of lying down on the soft couch as soon as he came back in the past, asked Qingfeng to fetch a pen and paper, and shared his thoughts on snow disaster relief. I wrote them down one by one.It's better to be prepared in advance than to be in a hurry.

It is best if the snowstorm does not happen. If it does happen, he will show it to his two masters and let them bother themselves. If you have some rewards or something on your body, then there is nothing better.

Of course, for now, this wish is still only a wish.

In the next few days, Jia Hu lay dead at home, very decadent.The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier. I heard from Qingyue that more and more people have fled to the capital to seek refuge. His two masters did not let him go out. The little apprentice is soft and cute, a magical creature , in case of knocking and bumping, you can't feel so bad!

Jia Hu sighed, took out the proposal written earlier, put it in the envelope, called the guards and confessed: "You go to the Marquis of Wu'an and give this letter to Lord Hou and Mr. Yang."

The guard received the letter, braved the wind and snow, and left.

After explaining this, Jia Hu fell back on the soft couch. Qingyue saw that his uncle was getting more and more disfigured, so she scratched her head, "Master, I heard from Steward Lin yesterday that this morning, Yunlai Village Zhuangtou Wu Jinqi is coming to deliver rent, in previous years he would bring some rare things, I don’t know what he will bring this year. I’m afraid it’s already here, sir, do you want to go and have a look?”

"Wu Jinqi?" The name sounds familiar, "Then who is Wu Jinxiao?"

Qingyue was taken aback by the question, but luckily he did his homework well.

The four servants around Jia Hu each perform their own duties. Qingfeng is in charge of small and big matters inside and outside Jia Hu's house, Qingyue is in charge of inquiring about Jia Hu's news, Yunjuan is in charge of the account books, and Yunshu is in charge of business. , (As a good young man who understands the truth that all eggs should not be put in the same basket, apart from those businesses that Wei Jiang cooperates with, Jia Hu needs to take care of more businesses in private, most of which are left by Madam Xu. For him, and the few shops allocated by Gu for him to practice hands).The division of labor is clear, once Jia Hu has something to do, just ask the guy who is in charge of that area and ask.

It suddenly occurred to him that Yunjuan was loaned out by him and changed to a hot spring village, tsk, what should I do if I can't bear it?Do you want to snatch people back?

After being stunned for a while, Qingyue immediately replied: "Wu Jinxiao and Wu Jinqi are two brothers, and Wu Jinxiao is the village head of Heishan Village in the West Mansion next door, and he seems to be here today."

Jia Hu suddenly remembered, this fellow Wu Jinxiao is a big rat, for such a big Zhuangzi, he only sent 500 taels of silver to his master all year round. It's over.Since Wu Jinqi is his brother, he is probably the same as him.

Scratching his chin, Jia Hu immediately became interested in this Wuzhuangtou, "Qingyue, let's lead the way, I'm going to meet this Wuzhuangtou for a while."

He lifted the blanket and asked the servant girl to bring him a more satisfactory dress. There was no other way. In this day and age, even a cold could kill someone, so he didn't want to try it himself.

Qingyue responded, and led Jia Hu to a relatively remote small courtyard in the front yard, where it really was a mess.A middle-aged man in his early thirties was following behind Jia She, apologetically laughing, presumably he was Zhuangtou Wu Jinqi.

The Heishan Village and Yunlai Village that the Wu family brothers are in charge of are both Zhuangzi in the two prefectures of Ningrong and Rong. There are many such Zhuangzi in the two families, and the other families have already sent them here. This Heishan Village and Yunlai Village The village is today, and it is only a little bit of time to come here.

However, Jia Hu glanced at the things piled up in the yard, and then at the list and account book that Lin Zhixiao sent up, and made a calculation in his heart. His little eyebrows were raised high. It turned out that some things had already begun to show signs, right? It is also rare to miss their family from now on.

wrong!Look at this guy's appearance, he doesn't look like the kind of courageous one, at least they don't dare now.The reason why they dare to do this now is that someone is giving them some benefits.

Jia Hu rubbed his chin, he didn't need to think about who the person "cooperated" with Wu Jinqi, he could name two now!
