Red Mansion Kua Kua Group

What's more, some politicians are also engaged in this kind of activity (only limited to capitalist society), and they are elected by the people, but represent the intentions of big capitalists, using government information to make big capitalists continue to benefit.

But Qingwen didn't talk about this, and used her experience in Lai's house as a shield to prevent others from thinking she was a monster.

Now Xueyuan asked: "Qingwen, why did you stay at Lai's house?"

Qingwen replied: "Some of the servants of Jia's family were born at home, and some were donated by outsiders. I was first sold to Lai's family and worked as a maid for Lai's family."

"The Lai family is a servant of the Jia family. I was originally a servant of a servant. However, the Lai family has managed well. Now I have been released from slavery. My son is an official and my daughter is a lady of the family. Nanny Lai is a person who is prepared for danger in times of peace. Feng Jun also often goes to Jia's mansion to please the old lady of the Jia family."

"The ancestors of the Jia family immediately fell in love with me. At that time, I was young and loved to joke around. Nanny Lai gave me to the Jia family. Later, the ancestors gave me to their grandson, and the grandson gave me to a girl."

Daiyu said with a smile: "The old ancestor is really good at picking, and he chose a clever and clever person at a glance."

This bumpy road made Xuefeng sigh with emotion: "It's really different in life. We are all born in a family. We have never learned from others and there are so many twists and turns."

Nanny Ming saw something else from this story: "The old nanny of Lai's family is really a shrewd person. First, she served by Mother Jia and made the family rich, and then let her son find the grace to be free and able to go to school. To be an official, and then find a way to rely on the power of the Jia family to become a small official. In the end, after the whole family got rid of slavery, I still didn't enjoy the blessings. Get closer."

Indeed, for the same two families, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the descendants of the Lai family are prosperous and the elders are well-managed, and they are going uphill, while the descendants of the Jia family are incompetent and the elders are stupid, and they are going downhill.

Just such a decline and prosperity can already see the future outcome.

Mother Xi also sighed with emotion: "It's strange that people have accumulated such a large family business, and the thought of planning for their children alone is far better than too many people."

Qingwen was quite puzzled: "You said that Nanny Lai has received so many benefits from Jia's mansion, why is Jia's mansion not angry? Anyone would have thought that the courtyard built by her house was only saved by Lai and her husband when they were slaves. It's not enough money for my share."

Daiyu sighed in her heart, it was related to the elders of the Jia family, as the saying goes, a son never blames his father, and his grandmother loved her very much, so she couldn't talk about it, but why didn't she worry about her grandmother in her heart?

She found an opportunity to tell Lin Ruhai about this matter, and asked her father: "Father, can you explain this matter to grandma? Let grandma be on guard? Otherwise, the entire mansion will be emptied."

Lin Ruhai first praised her for her filial piety to her grandmother: "You are so filial to your grandmother, if your mother finds out, there will always be some comfort. But the corruption of Jia's mansion is not overnight, nor is it caused by a mother Lai who rashly mentioned it to your grandmother. In this matter, she will be angry at us for meddling in Jia's affairs."

"Besides, how can your grandmother not know that Nanny Lai is making money? She has been in charge of the family for so many years, and Nanny Lai was single-handedly picked up by her. Naturally, the person in charge of the family must benefit the people around him, so that he can Driving more people to work hard for her is the same principle in officialdom."

Daiyu is clever, and she understands immediately: "It turns out that Nanny Cha Lai just slapped my grandmother in the face."

Lin Ruhai smiled: "Most of the family servants of the big family are more noble than the ordinary people outside. This is not a big deal. You must know that they have paid the price. One day something happens to the big family, and the people who depend on them will also suffer. The so-called prosperity and prosperity That’s the way it is.”

Only then did Lin Daiyu understand, she carefully recalled what was said in the book, after Jia's house was confiscated, all the servants were sold off, and although the Lai's family did not mention it, it is conceivable that they did not end well.

Because the rich and powerful families outside are all staring at you. When the Jia family gained power, you occupied this official position and no one said anything. How can you stay clean when the Jia family loses?

Besides, money is hard to keep.In this world, the most precious thing is not money but power. If you have power, you will have money, but if you have money but no rights, then you can only be a big piece of fat in the eyes of the rich and powerful.

Lin Ruhai took this opportunity to invite several old people in the family, all of whom had served the old lady and the others. These old people had rich experience and had seen a lot of ups and downs, and asked them to tell Daiyu about the ups and downs of the family they had seen, hoping that she would You can learn some housekeeping skills from it.

Daiyu studied very seriously, and the two nuns also reminded her a lot.Half a year later in the blink of an eye, Lin Ruhai uprooted several salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and finally wiped out their lairs.

Daiyu was worried that her father would go on the road alone, so she insisted on following her. Lin Ruhai also wanted to take care of her daughter, so she took them with her to the capital.

This trip to the capital is completely different from the last time. Last time Daiyu was on the road alone, thinking about her father along the way. After entering the Kua Kua Qun and learning the truth, she began to worry about the future.

This time she went to Beijing, followed her father's support, and saved her father's life again and again, so she only thought that she was out to play and relax, and she was very interested.

Qingwen muttered beside her, constantly recording the time spent by various ships from Yangzhou to the capital, and also calculated the speed of different ships, and almost missed someone else's ship in the middle.

Xuefeng laughed at her for being stupid, and Qingwen plausibly said: "Our family has received countless orders for curtains and curtains, and we will definitely become famous in the capital in the future. The goods will be transported more frequently, and we can no longer carry hands with the gift-giving boats like before. , I’m afraid that special delivery will be required, which will cost a lot of money.”

Taking advantage of the opportunity of each family to build relatives' villas, Qingwen made a lot of money. It's a bit embarrassing to say that Jia Jiaming seems to have received funding from the Lin family, but in fact the Lin family has made a lot of money from other places.

Because of Daiyu's cautiousness, all the merchants who sell to the outside world are cast by others, and they are divided into many different groups. Outsiders only think that they are different merchants, and they never expect that the Lin family is behind them.

It was not enough for Jia's family to rely on the few stones, so they had to go to the market to buy them. Daiyu had already instructed her to hide her real identity and not marry anyone, so Jia's family was also harvested by Lin's family.

Thinking of this, Qingwen wanted to snigger. Sister Lin didn't stop her father from delivering things to Jia's house, but she still used her own method to teach Jia's house a lesson.

Speaking of curtains and curtains, as Qingwen expected, those families were in urgent need of these, so Qingwen asked Yi Jiangnan's shopkeeper to go door-to-door with famous posters.

Seeing that it was the Lin family, those aristocratic families thought of going to take a look first. They saw that the curtains of various sizes and sizes were indeed of good quality and cheap, so some families made an order to buy them.

Some people went directly to Suzhou and Hangzhou by boat to purchase. Daiyu asked the shopkeeper to pick more fabric samples from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and send them directly to the nobles' homes for them to choose. After the samples were selected, they were shipped directly from Jiangnan.

This way of coming and going saves a lot of trouble, so many people have chosen this method, and Yi Jiangnan has also gained a reputation in the capital.

Qingwen asked the shopkeeper to publicize in the store, and marked which cloth was selected by which family. When customers came to the store, they saw the most conspicuous place in the store, and the displayed cloth was impressive:

For example, there is a pile of pythons, with a card next to it marked "Used by the curtains of the Maotang in the Concubine Zhou's Family Concubine's House";

A flower curtain hung with multicolored threads, and a card next to it marked "Used for the window curtains of the Qingxia Villa of the Concubine De's family";

A frame of engraved silk and ink curtains and orangutan felt curtains, and a card next to it marked "Used for the felt curtains of the roll-up shed of the Concubine Liang's family and relatives' villa";

All of these have traces to follow, which amazes the customers who come to buy.

This was also discussed by Daiyu and Qingwen. Recalling that Jiangnan is mainly engaged in the business of medium-sized wealthy households and small- and medium-sized bureaucrats. In short, those things are too expensive.

At this time, Yijiangnan's products can meet their needs: the silk and satin are fashionable and the material is in the middle price range.Naturally, they can be liked.

Qingwen complained in her heart that this is the so-called light luxury positioning in modern times, specializing in harvesting middle-class leeks.

Qingwen herself has never bought any products marked as "light luxury", and she never fooled herself even when she was still poor.

It's not that she is so aggressive, but that she knows her true desires and spending habits.

What she likes is A, so no matter how many small as she buys instead, she still wants A in her heart and will buy A in the end. After calculating that she spent a lot of a plus A, she might as well bite her teeth and buy A directly. Can save money.

Not to mention Qingwen's own fallacy of "saving money", there are always many middle-class people in the world who like light luxury, so there is a reason for Yijiangnan to exist.

The suppliers of various provincial villas make Yi Jiangnan quite competitive. Those middle-level families yearn for the wealthy class. When they step into the store and see the same style, they see that the price is not very expensive, so they naturally buy it readily.

In this way, the sales of Yijiangnan's goods are very good, and the impression of "can buy the same products as the rich and powerful" has been achieved in the minds of target consumers, so the road ahead will be much easier.

In a blink of an eye, the boat arrived at the capital, and the housekeeper and servants of the Lin family were already waiting on the shore.

The Lin family had a house in the capital, and because Lin Ruhai and his daughter were going to the capital, Daiyu specially sent a housekeeper and servants to go there first, clean up the house and place flowers and fruits, so that they would be a little popular when they moved in.

Daiyu was quite surprised when she first found out that her family had a house in the capital.She never knew this, thinking that her family only had property in Yangzhou: "Our family actually has a mansion in the capital?"
