[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

The family watched the four puppies run around on the ground, bark, and just play like this all day, doing nothing else.

It wasn't until dinner time that the whole family enjoyed themselves.

But after dinner, the problem also appeared——

Maoshou originally thought that Crane Year and Deer Year would not like cute toys like puppies. Because there were not enough parts, he only made five puppies. One was given to Guiling, and the remaining four were prepared to be kept. Four family members in Beijing.

But now, Crane Year and Deer Year are far more interested in puppies than in Western clocks.

Especially Lu Sui, after he saw the puppy that barked and ran around, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

When Lin Liu asked, he said very excitedly: "Those sea merchants who go to sea can bring back a lot of Western clocks. The price is expensive, and those rich people will almost only buy one. Buying it can show off to others." Now that I have enough money, I won’t buy any more in the future, but pocket watches are more popular.”

"But this kind of puppy is different. Just look at everyone's reaction. Whether it's men, women, adults or children, they all accept it well. The key is that this thing is novel. If it can be mass-produced, it can not only be sold to those rich people , and can also be sold to those sea merchants to bring them overseas for sale.”

When it comes to making money, Lu Sui's mental state is different.

Lin Liu lightly poured cold water on it: "But this puppy can only be made by Maoshou, and it only looks cumbersome, and it is impossible to mass-produce it."

Lu Sui has already considered this problem: "The big deal is to find a few more craftsmen who understand these imported products. After inviting them, I will find Maoshou to learn this puppy-making craft. Even if one person can do limitedly, but there are many people. , naturally more puppies will be produced.”

"And it's not good to have too many of these things. If you have too many, you won't be able to buy them at a high price."

Lu Sui thought for a while, and said: "In order to prevent the technology of making puppies from leaking out, the technology that Maoshou handed over to everyone should not be the same. For example, one craftsman can be handed over to make the legs, another to make the clockwork, and one to make the clockwork. The head is a part for vocalization. The more craftsmen are recruited, the more parts will be dismantled, and the more possibilities of secrecy will naturally be."

Although Maoshou did not promise Lu Sui to sell puppies or teach others how to make puppies, Lu Sui has already set the goal of assembly line production and sales of puppies.

Even if he didn't say it explicitly, Lin Liu could guess that this kid probably already thought of how to open a store, how to advertise, and even the price.

She couldn't bear it anymore and patted Lu Sui on the head: "Before you think about things here, can you ask your brother if he would like to sell this puppy toy to you? Can you ask him if he is willing?" Give the puppy's technology to others? Would you like to waste your study time for your business?"

Lu Sui's head was dazed from being photographed, and he was stunned for a while before realizing that he had been thinking about it for a long time, but in fact it was just his own imagination, and he didn't ask Maoshou's consent at all.

He quickly apologized, and then looked at Maoshou very seriously with an attitude towards his partners: "Brother Maoshou, you believe me, as long as you are willing to give the puppy to me for sale, I will definitely sell it for a big price. Let you earn enough private money, you can do whatever you want with the private money in the future, and you don’t have to worry about spending too much and being considered extravagant by your parents.”

As he said that, he also gave an example nearby, "It's like your second brother He Nian, after he handed over his scriptures to me, after some manipulations by me, his scriptures are hard to find in Jiangnan, almost Every time it is printed, there is looting."

"Now your second elder brother He Nian is famous in Jiangnan, and he is earning a lot of money from his scriptures. Even if he fell in love with a Song Dynasty Bogu rack last time, he didn't hesitate to spend money to buy it. down."

Just as he was talking, He Nian, who was listening with gusto, suddenly widened his eyes, and directly covered Lu Sui's mouth with his hand: "You kid, you don't have a clue, do you?"

Lu Sui froze for a moment, and was about to speak, when he turned around and saw Lin Ruhai looking at the two of them calmly: "Bogu shelf from the Song Dynasty? Tell me, how much did it cost?"

Lu Sui: "..."

He swallowed, raised his hand and poked He Nian, "He Nian bought the Bogu stand in the Song Dynasty. He said he wanted to buy it for the books he wrote. What is the price... You should ask He Nian himself Well, I can't tell."

He Nian turned his head and stared at him bitterly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nian of the Crane?" Lin Ruhai looked at him, "It's all the money you earned by writing books, and I won't confiscate your private money. Is there anything you can't say?"

He Nian wanted to cry without tears: "Back to my father, although the ancient shelf is from the Song Dynasty, it was not used by celebrities. It's just that the wood is scarce, so it looks rare, and the price is really not particularly expensive. Because the other party likes my words very much. After I bought the bookshelf to put the books I wrote, the seller even gave a special discount..."

Lin Ruhai glanced at him: "So, how much is it?"

He Nian instantly became dumb, and after a while, he stretched out two fingers.

Lin Liu was taken aback, and whispered to Maoshou's ear and asked, "A bogu rack, 2000 taels of silver? Your second brother, He Nian, is quite generous!"

Maoshou suppressed a smile and carefully shook his head: "No, it's [-]."

Lin Liu was startled, and couldn't help stretching out her thumb: "The rich!"

Lin Ruhai looked at the two fingers stretched out by He Nian, and smiled faintly: "You don't understand, do I think you spent 2 taels of silver or 2 taels of gold for a Bogu rack?"

Crane Nian was startled, and quickly shook his head: "Silver, it's silver! My son is very poor, how could he spend 2 taels of gold to buy a Bogu rack? It's not because of his brain!"

Lin Ruhai lowered her face: "I think you're out of your mind right now!"

He Nian flinched, not daring to speak any more.

It's just that in the corners that Lin Ruhai can't see, he will shoot at him with sharp eyes, causing him to expose his deer age.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was so angry, Lu Sui also realized that he had caused a catastrophe, so he kept his head down, not daring to look at He Nian's expression.

Lin Ruhai took a deep breath, and then said, "How much money did you earn writing your script?"

He Nian swallowed, and didn't dare to hide it anymore: "Father, because my sister sent the movable type printing to Jiangnan before, the quality of my script is not only good, but the price is also very cheap. There are almost no pirated copies on the market. ,so……"

"So from the time I started writing novels until I set off for Jiangnan, a total of more than [-] taels of silver was credited."

As soon as this number came out, even Jia Min, who had lived in the wealthy nest of Rongguo Mansion since he was a child, couldn't help but widen his eyes: "20 taels? Is this how much money you make by writing scripts?"

Lin Ruhai was also obviously shocked by this number, and it took a while to find his voice: "How many copies do you print every year, how can you sell so many?"

Seeing that Lin Ruhai wasn't angry, He Nian relaxed, and turned to look at Lu Sui: "My son can only write stories, but he doesn't understand business matters. My son really doesn't know how the money is earned. You should ask Lu Sui, the son can earn so much money thanks to Lu Sui's help."

Lin Ruhai looked at Lu Sui: "Come here, tell Wei father, how did you earn so much money for your brother?"

He had heard from Xiao Qilin that Lu Sui was very talented in business. Although he didn't doubt it, because there was no data, he never thought about how talented this so-called "very talented" was.

But now, with He Nian's 20 taels in front of him, he felt that it was necessary for him to find out how talented his son was.

Lu Sui was a little apprehensive, and he didn't dare to walk in front of Lin Ruhai.

He thinks he knows Lin Ruhai's father very well, and knows that he is the most orthodox kind of scholar, doing business, writing scripts to earn money, playing some imported Western games, as long as it doesn't affect his studies, he can open his eyes. Turn one eye and close one eye, but once it affects my schoolwork...

Lu Sui touched his butt, tears streaming down his heart——

His butt is probably already swollen, and if he is beaten again, he might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

But Lu Sui didn't dare not to say it, so he walked up to Lin Ruhai step by step, and said in detail that he wanted to make more money for the script, so that he could earn back the cost of movable type printing, and made those showy operations .

Others are good to say, Lin Liu is well-informed, and can barely tell which modern merchants have used promotional methods——

Such as hunger marketing, such as celebrity endorsement, if you want to promote, suppress and launch a public opinion war...

Lin Liu has seen many such things in modern times.

There are also some routines, such as getting some books of various editions, so that those who have spare money and want to buy a full set can draw a lottery after collecting them, and will randomly attach the author's signature in the story book, on a certain author After spending a certain amount of money, you can also randomly get a picture of the characters in the story...

Lu Sui has a bright mind, and he also thought of developing various peripheral products for the popular words, so that people can adapt the stories and use them as storytelling, operas, etc. for more people to see...

Lin Liu: "..."

But there are also some, although some people have used it in modern times, they are not used by merchants, but are used as marketing methods for those traffic stars.

For example, to create an opponent, and then let the fans of the two authors compete against each other, and compare the purchase of scripts to increase sales?The victorious party can get the portrait of the protagonist and the poem drawn by the author himself?Can the author's words be distributed to other places, so that more people can see it and make more money?

Lin Liu: "...???"

If she remembers correctly, in Lu Sui's bookstore, the other authors who wrote scripts that can be compared with He Nian are actually He Nian's vests, right?

So, no matter how much money readers spend, the final winner will only be the Year of the Crane?

No wonder he can make so much money!

Even Lin Liu couldn't help but be dumbfounded after hearing the series of coquettish operations that Lu Sui had done on He Nian's storybook, let alone the other people present?

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a long time, and after a while, he said in a vague way: "You, you kid, if you don't go into business, you are really resigned!"

Lu Sui didn't feel happy at all, but his face was ashen.

Because he didn't feel that Lin Ruhai's words were a compliment to him.

Seeing this, Lin Liu suppressed a smile, and asked out loud for Lu Sui: "Father, are you angry?"

Lin Ruhai froze for a moment, then shook his head: "There's nothing to be angry about. If he only has a little ordinary talent in business, I'm not happy if he wasted his talent for reading. Much higher than studying, I, I seem to have no reason to refuse him to do business."

Any kind of profession has reached the top, and people can't help admiring it.

In Lin Ruhai's eyes, Lu Sui has clearly reached the top level in business.Even if it was Lin Ruhai, even if he used all the working capital of the Lin family to do business, he didn't think he could earn more than 20 taels of silver in a short period of time.

Although in most cases, reading is more promising than doing business.

But Lu Sui's situation is obviously different from others.

If Lu Sui was born in an ordinary family, he would naturally have to choose between studying and doing business: firstly, the status of a businessman is low and he is often looked down upon by others; He was charged with crimes and embezzled all his property.

But Lu Sui was born in the Lin family, so he can go the way he wants.

When Lin Ruhai was around, he could escort Lu Sui; when Lin Ruhai was gone, he would still have Gui Ling to protect him.

He will never let him suffer in the hands of others.

but……

Lin Ruhai rubbed his forehead, and waved his hands: "I'm a little overwhelmed right now, so let's not talk about other things. I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do. Let's eat first."

Jia Min raised her hand to signal the servant girl to go down and serve the dishes.

After a meal, they each went back to their own yards.

The three brothers were exhausted from the journey, they just came back from Jiangnan, and they were beaten up by Lin Ruhai when they got home. This is the time when they are the most tired.

Lin Liu thought, the three brothers should just fall asleep after returning to their yard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the gate of the main house, Lu Sui approached Maoshou: "Maoshou, little brother, dear brother, can you give me that mechanical puppy for sale?"

Maoshou was stunned for a moment, then nodded dumbfoundingly: "However, whether I make the puppy myself or hand over the technology of making puppies to others, I have to wait until after the palace examination next year. I don't want these things to affect the imperial examination results. "

Lu Sui was beaten up by Lin Ruhai, and he didn't dare to do other things during the imperial examination, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, I will never bother you with this matter before the imperial examination is over."

After the matter was finalized, Lu Sui limped to the side of He Nian.

The yards of the two are next to each other, along the way.

Early the next morning, after Lin Ruhai had breakfast and went to court, Lu Sui appeared in the main room holding two boxes.

After paying his respects, Lu Sui directly put the two boxes on the small table next to Jia Min.

Jia Min was taken aback: "What is this? The gift you prepared for me?"

Lu Sui smiled embarrassedly: "My son did prepare gifts for our parents, sisters and sisters, but compared with Mao Shou, it was neither as exquisite nor as thoughtful as his gifts, and I always felt that I couldn't get them." If you make a move, you simply don’t give it up.”

Jia Min shook his head and laughed: "Giving gifts is just a thought, why are you still comparing?"

Lu Sui smiled embarrassedly: "They are all fabrics and jewelry designed by myself. If mother likes it, I will send someone to deliver it later."

Jia Min nodded and pointed to the box: "Since it's not a gift, what's in it?"

Lu Sui looked at Jia Min proudly: "Mother is curious, just open it. You will like it when you see it."

Jia Min glanced at Lu Sui, opened the box with a smile, and then froze on the spot: "Why are they all bank notes? You keep the money you earn yourself, and what do you want me to do?"

"No, no, no," Lu Sui quickly shook his head, "It's not my money, but you and Daiyu's. You heard it last night, He Nian's words originally earned more than 20 taels of silver, but That's not really all."

"Because in the scriptures written by He Nian, many of the poems written by you and Daiyu are used, so after discussing with He Nian, each script that was sold was divided into a certain proportion. Silver, saved for the two of you."

"Because I wanted to surprise you and Daiyu, my son never mentioned this matter in his letters."

Who would have thought that this matter would be revealed just after coming back last night?

Lu Sui patted his head in embarrassment: "Because only four or five poems are used in a storybook, so the money you and Daiyu share must not be as much as He Nian. The two together are only 5 Two, I hope my mother will not dislike her."

Jia Min didn't dislike it at all, but was a little surprised: "It's just a few poems, and you can earn so much money?"

Although she does not lack this bit of money, and the shops and farms in her hands are also making money for her continuously, but most of those are the dowry that Jia Min brought from the Rongguo Mansion when she got married. not her.

On the contrary, the money in front of her was completely earned by her own talent.

What a surprise.

She turned her head and asked the maid beside her to invite Daiyu, and then divided all the banknotes according to the number of poems written by the two.

Daiyu had more, and distributed more than 3 silver bills; Jia Min had less, and only distributed about [-].

Even Daiyu, who has always regarded money as dung, couldn't help but feel agitated when she saw the first sum of money she earned by her own ability.

She wrote poetry books out of her own interest, never thinking of making money.

Now that she can earn so much money, Daiyu is naturally happy.

Most importantly, these banknotes made her realize a very important thing——

Talent can be realized.

Even if something happens to her in the future, Daiyu can still rely on her own talent to make money, instead of relying on someone's charity or relying on others.

The mother and daughter were so happy that they became more interested in writing poems.

Lu Sui watched and couldn't help being happy for them.

After the mother and daughter were happy, Jia Min couldn't help asking: "Even we have money, so your elder sister doesn't get any money?"

Lu Sui was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Mother, don't worry, if anyone loses money, she will not lose sister Qilin. I save all her money, and there are other uses, so mother can rest assured."

He was able to amass a lot of money, not only because he did have a very high talent for doing business, but also because he had a technology that others could only look up to.And these technologies, obviously, were brought out by Lin Liu.

For example, the Jenny textile machine, such as the mature movable type printing...

Without these things, no matter how many ideas Lu Sui had, he would have no way to turn them into reality.

Just like the books of the year of the crane, if there is no movable type printing that can be printed in large quantities, even if he has come up with countless promotional ideas, but there are not enough books to supply, everything will be in vain.

Jia Min froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "That's fine."

The two didn't say much, but quickly asked about what Lu Sui had seen and heard in Jiangnan, as well as the trivial things in life.

It wasn't until Lin Liu came to pay his respects that the two stopped talking about this topic.

Apart from Guiling, only Lu Sui, who was in charge of all the business there, knew about the situation in Jiangnan. As he was returning to Beijing, Lin Liu naturally wanted to ask about Jiangnan's situation.

Even if the correspondence has not been interrupted, many details cannot be mentioned in the letter.

The two quickly left and went directly to Lin Liu's room.

The two talked for a long time, and after confirming that the situation in Jiangnan was under their control, Lin Liu heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing her expression, Lu Sui couldn't help laughing: "Even if my sister doesn't believe me, I should believe my elder brother is. After these two years of experience, my elder brother has not only matured a lot, but has also become a smiling tiger. Others only regard him as a corporal who is respectful and approachable." , but I know that he is full of bad water in his stomach. As for the officials in the south of the Yangtze River, there is really no way to take advantage of the eldest brother."

"Looking at the current situation, it will only be a year or two. At that time, the eldest brother will definitely be able to fulfill your and father's requirements, and control Jiangnan completely in his own hands."

Lu Sui frowned, "At the moment, there are only some remnants of the Supreme Emperor's power in Jiangnan, and the spies that the Emperor has recently placed in the past make people worry. Other than that..."

"Huh?" Lin Liu looked at Lu Sui, "Jiangnan has already been cleaned up by the emperor once, besides the Supreme Emperor and the emperor's forces, are there other people involved?"

Lu Sui nodded hesitantly: "I don't know if I feel wrong. After my eldest brother was promoted from Yingtian Mansion in Jinling, that position became vacant. Just before we left, an official named Jia Hua came. I Look, he is talented and knowledgeable, but he doesn't pay much attention to what he does, and he doesn't seem to be under the influence of the emperor or the emperor."

Lin Liu was stunned for a while, but didn't realize who it was: Jia Hua?The name seems familiar.

Lu Sui was still introducing this person: "But I'm not sure, I'm just a little worried about Big Brother."

Lin Liu looked up: "Worried about Guiling? As long as Guiling doesn't come into contact with this Jia Hua, he can't hinder Guiling, right? What is there to worry about?"

Lu Sui frowned and shook his head: "I don't know, it's just a kind of intuition. And it's not that the eldest brother can stop contacting Jia Hua if he doesn't want to. Before I left, Jia Hua had already relied on the relationship of the Rongguo Mansion. Our family visited twice, and I saw that he seemed to want to take the opportunity to cling to Big Brother."

The word "climbing" is very spiritual, and it immediately brought back Lin Liu's memory, and she immediately remembered who this Jia Hu was——

Isn't it the ungrateful Jia Yucun who likes stabbing benefactors the most?

She couldn't help frowning: "I have to write to Guiling immediately so that he can guard against this Jia Hua. This person is indeed neither the emperor nor the emperor. If I guessed correctly, he should be Wang Ziteng." people."

Since it is Wang Ziteng's people, Jia Yucun is naturally divided into the camp of four princes and eight princes.

Because the four kings and eight princes want to rebel.

If this person really took refuge in the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, Lin Liu would not be so vigilant, because he chose a camp, and could always turn him into his "friend" by means of cooperation and other means.

But Jia Yucun's camp is not sure!

Although he is now a man of four princes and eight princes, once he seizes the opportunity, he may become a man of the emperor or the emperor at any time; even, once the power of the four princes and eight princes is reduced, he is likely to sell the four princes and eight princes directly. Turned to other camps.

Such a person is a born [-]-year-old boy and must be guarded against.

Otherwise, he might be sold out at some point, and the person who was sold out didn't even know when he was sold out.

Zhen Shiyin, Jia Zheng, and even Wang Ziteng in the original book must all have a deep understanding of this point.

Lu Sui was taken aback: "I heard him keep talking about the greatness of the emperor's grace, and I thought that although he relied on the relationship of the Rongguo Mansion to recover, and then got the official position of Jinling Yingtian Mansion, he did not surrender to the four kings and eight princes. No think……"

The two of them didn't dare to delay, they hurried to the desk, one was grinding and the other was writing, and quickly finished writing the letter reminding Guiling, and then sent the maid directly to the post station.

The time for the letter to be delivered is naturally shorter than the time for people to travel, and it only took about a month for this letter to be delivered to Guiling.

Coincidentally, on this day, Jia Yucun came to the door again, saying that he wanted to ask Gui Ling, the previous prefect of Jinling Yingtian Mansion, how to handle the official affairs of the yamen.

Guiling looked down, and found that the file he brought was a recent case, and the case was clear. It was a certain official in Jinling who was found out and had a habit of torturing and killing servant girls. Now that he was arrested, the evidence is conclusive. , you only need to be punished according to the law.

He didn't understand what was so difficult about this case, and was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door.

Guiling looked up, and the little boy smiled and raised the letter in his hand: "Uncle Song, the letter from the capital. I can see the handwriting, it should be written by the eldest girl. Do you want to read it now, or keep it for the evening?" see again?"

Even though he was already engaged, Gui Ling had a very deep affection for Lin Liu, so he smiled and asked people to come in: "If my sister is fine, she seldom writes to me. Now that the letter has arrived, I naturally have to open it immediately." of."

As he said that, he looked at Jia Yucun embarrassingly, "My sister sent a letter, I was worried that something happened at home, so..."

Jia Yucun said in a considerate manner: "Your Excellency, I will be busy first, and I will teach you later. I am not in a hurry."

Guiling froze for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, then I'll read the letter first, please wait a moment."

So he took the letter to the window and opened it to read.

At the beginning of the letter, Lin Liu cut straight to the point and wrote directly, "You have to be careful of Jia Yucun, he belongs to Wang Ziteng".

Guiling was stunned, because Jia Yucun had always acted under the banner of Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion, and he thought that this person was one of the cleanups of the Second Uncle Zheng.

Because everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was a bit stupid, Guiling was not as prepared as he was for other people even with Jia Yucun.

He couldn't help frowning, and continued to look down.

Next, Lin Liu directly mentioned Jia Yucun's original partner——

Because of Sheng Man, Lin Liu was always able to learn about things about Sheng Man's ex-husband's family in the first place.And Jia Yucun, as Sheng Man's ex-husband's sister-in-law, as the person who most likely destroyed Sheng Man's ex-husband's family to avenge her, his deeds would occasionally appear in Sheng Man's mouth.

After Jia Yucun recovers, it will naturally not be airborne directly to the location of Yingtianfu in Jinling.

After all, without Lin Ruhai's machete in this life, it would not be so easy for Jia Yucun to get in touch with Jia Zheng.

When Jia Yucun was also in Huaiyang, he heard the news that the imperial court was going to rehabilitate the old officials.But at that time, he was only working as a teacher in the home of an ordinary official, and even if the other party wanted to, there was no way to help him recover.

So Jia Yucun turned around and went to the Zhen family.

But he is not Zhen Baoyu's current wife, but his ex-wife who was resigned. Naturally, the Zhen family would not consider him like Lin Ruhai did when they treated him.

So this time, even if Jia Yucun recovers, he is only a not-so-important official in Jinling.

However, he is good at drilling, and soon through the Jinling Jia family, he brought up the fact that his ancestor was connected with the Rongguo Mansion, so he successfully got involved with Jia Zheng through the Jinling Jia family, and then climbed up to Wang Ziteng, and successfully entered Beijing as an official Son.

Now that Jia Yucun recovered, his original partner, who was unwilling to look down on him, naturally returned to him.

In Sheng Man's words, that original partner is also stupid. I abused Jia Yucun like that back then, and now that he has gained power, you don't want to run away, but even posted it. You are really not afraid of death.

So it didn't take long for Jia Yucun's original partner to die.

After the death of the original partner, Jia Yucun straightened his concubine and became his official wife——

Although there is no Jiao Xing, but when he was down and down, he met another maid who "knows how to appreciate him", and after marrying a wife, he also asked her to be a concubine.

This was originally not in line with the etiquette, but by doing so, he undoubtedly put a knife in the heart of everyone in the former Yue family. While the whole family felt deeply humiliated, they would still be fidgeting all the time, worrying that he would retaliate.

Jia Yucun's actions undoubtedly made Sheng Man very happy. In her words, the relationship between her ex-husband's house and Jia Yucun was completely the same as the wicked, and she deserved this kind of thing.

But for Guiling, his approach is a bit embarrassing——

It is understandable to kill the original partner. After all, she thought that Jia Yucun had no future and humiliated him by saying a lot of disgusting words. After seeing someone recover, she wanted to enjoy the blessings, so she approached Jia Yucun as the original partner. Jia Yucun.

But Jia Yucun helped the concubine to humiliate the Yue family, which made Guiling feel a little uncomfortable.

His Yue's family chose their daughter between Jia Yucun and their daughter. From Guiling's point of view, it is human nature. Otherwise, if they don't help their daughter, why would they still help you a son-in-law?

Back then, Jia Yucun was able to climb from a Jinshi to the fifth-rank position in such a short period of time, and his Yue family had made great efforts.Even if Jia Yucun hated Yue's family, on the premise of killing his daughter, at most he would not have any contact with her, and it would be too much to bring a concubine to beat them in the face.

When he saw this, Guiling's good impression of Jia Yucun was wiped out, but this matter was his private matter after all, so Guiling wouldn't do anything to him because of it.

But immediately afterwards, Lin Liu used the name and time of Jia Yucun's actions in the original book, and wrote to Guiling all of them.

Obviously, whether Yinglian was abducted or the Jia family was stabbed in the back, Guiling's impression of Jia Yucun plummeted.

Because of this, when Guiling saw Lin Liu's words at the end of the letter telling him to be careful about Jia Yucun, he did not have any doubts or conflicts, and directly raised his defense against Jia Yucun to the highest level.

So when he returned to Jia Yucun, Guiling said apologetically, "My sister is embroidering her wedding dress recently, but she ran out of embroidery thread, and only Jiangnan has it. I don't know." Where is it sold, and my sister is in a hurry to use it, so I must take advantage of today's free time to buy it quickly and send it to the capital."

"I just took a look at the file. This case doesn't seem to be difficult. If you are worried about the power of this official, you can go to the head of the Jia family in Jinling and ask him to ask you. I don't understand it, so I won't." Too much talk."

He had already talked to this point, and Jia Yucun couldn't stay longer, so he could only leave.

After the people left, Guiling called the boy directly: "Follow Jia Yucun and see where he goes later, and then ask others to look up the case he brought to me today, is there any other secrets?" .”

I didn't think it before, but after my sister wrote to remind her, Guiling always felt that this case was too simple, and with Jia Yucun's temperament, even if he wanted to curry favor with him, he wouldn't use this kind of case to please him.

The boy took the order and immediately ordered Guiling's request.

Gui Ling changed her clothes and took a carriage to the largest embroidery building in Jinling——

Even if it's just to not scare the snake, he has to put on a show, so that Jia Yucun can't find himself doubting him.

When Guiling really bought a large bag of embroidery thread from Xiulou and came back, the servant also found out that Guiling wanted to know the news, so he returned to the government office.

Seeing him coming back, the servant stepped forward: "Uncle Song, I followed Master Jia and found that he didn't go back to his home, but turned halfway and went to Wang's house. The people below also inquired about Master Jia and brought it to him." Ask about the case of the master, and say that there seems to be something hidden in it, and the murderer may not necessarily be the official, but may be the official's wife."

Although Gui Ling had expected that the case would not be simple, he didn't want to be sure about the murderer: "If the people below can find out the doubts of the case so easily, why has Jia Yucun settled the case?"

What Jia Yucun came to ask was not how to investigate the case, but how to punish him.

In other words, he has identified the official as the murderer.

The servant replied in a low voice: "It seems to be because the adult's wife is from the royal family, and his father is still working under the command of Prince Teng of the Wang family, so he is quite powerful."
