The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions

"Uncle, my nephew grew up with my grandfather. My grandfather taught my nephew not only to read the Four Books, but also to know the truth. My grandfather often lamented that even if he has the ability to manage the world, if he can't use it Righteous way, sticking to the loyalty of the emperor, is not a good word. My grandfather once said that the south of the Yangtze River is the foundation of the dynasty, and the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River will lead to the chaos of the dynasty. Those who spy on the forces in the south of the Yangtze River are traitors." Jia Zhu said, paused, Formal Lin Ruhai's scrutinizing eyes: "My nephew will always remember my grandfather's teachings, the family has no children! Who is the grandfather talking about? At the beginning, my nephew was confused, but now I look at it coldly in Hangzhou, but I really understand it."

There are some things that are enough to be said here, and Jia Zhu understands from Lin Ruhai's emotional eyes that they have already tacitly agreed with each other.

"Okay, okay, if my father-in-law knows about it, I should feel relieved." Lin Ruhai's eyes were full of relief and emotion, such as having a son, the Jia family has successors.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai took out the letter that was just pressed in the official document, and handed it to Jia Zhu: "Zhu'er, this is a letter from your uncle."

An ominous omen rose in Jia Zhu's heart. After taking the letter and reading it, Jia Zhu's heart turned upside down. The uncle actually went to Prince Yizhong's mansion in order to seek a fat job for the empress. , the Wangfu has cleared up the household department for Big Brother Zhen, and got a missing child who is released to know the state. It is Ganzhou under the Hangzhou Mansion. Da Bo wrote a letter to ask Lin Ruhai, the upper peak, to take care of Big Brother Zhen. , and praised the virtuous king more than once in the letter.

This is really, what to be afraid of!Jia Zhu and Lin Ruhai's aunt and nephew both had the same dignified look on their faces. Now that the household department's transfer order has come down, the Jia family's small actions have caught the eyes of the emperor.This is not the worst situation, the worst is how to make Jia She and the others stop having any connection with the palace, this is the most difficult problem!

Not to mention that Lin Ruhai's aunt and nephew were bothering their brains, but they said that in Liang Daotai Mansion, a small sedan chair was carried in from the back door of Daotai Mansion at sunset, and the person sitting in the sedan chair was Mr. Qin's nobleman. Concubine, the current wife Song Shi, after a while, Song Shi left the Daotai Mansion with an ugly face.

Song's face was ugly, and Liang Daotai's was even more ugly than Song's. With a "slap", Liang Daotai slammed the tea bowl on the table heavily, and cursed coldly: "Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Mrs. Daotai next to her sneered: "It's a waste of others, didn't you send her there at the beginning! It's just a woman who came out of the building. It's very happy to fight for favor and love. What can you do when it comes to big things? ! If you sent that girl Fei Cui there that day, it would be just a recipe for dyeing cloth, and it would be easy to catch!"

Mrs. Daotai's words were sour, but Liang Daotai not only didn't get angry when he heard this, but he kept apologizing, and said nonuo: "Hey, Mrs. is still right, and I'm all to blame. I saw that she looks good at the beginning, but she can't help it." Created as a niece, although Emerald girl is good, but unfortunately her color is not as good as her, she is still a maid."

"It's just a businessman, so it's time to snicker if I can get the big maid by my side!" Mrs. Daotai curled her lips in disdain, and snorted coldly: "The color is good, and it's enough to keep it as a plaything to win people's hearts. Mo You have to count on other things, now, do you still want to send that Yaohong to the Lin residence?"

"Madam is brilliant, I am willing to bow down." Liang Daotai thought of Lin Ruhai, and his face darkened again: "I thought Lin Ruhai was stupid at the beginning, and he was so ignorant when the prince praised him like this. Who knows, he is the most cunning That one! He didn’t touch it at all, but secretly pointed out to Jia’s family, what kind of thing is Jia Zhen, she’s just a child with a yellow mouth, and she even ordered Zhizhou!” Liang Daotai hated him, but he promised to go out, Now it's all gone, and all the face is lost!

Mrs. Daotai didn't answer, she pondered for a while and said: "Are you sure that Lin Ruhai instructed the Jia family to follow the prince? I find this very strange. It's not so much that Jia Zhen robbed you of the Zhizhou seat that you were supposed to go out. It would be better to say that the prince was annoyed by your punishment for failing to win over Lin Ruhai."

"This..." Liang Daotai also hesitated, "Could it be that the reason why the prince transferred Jia Zhen to the Hangzhou mansion is for him to win over Lin Ruhai?"

"What's the use of thinking about this!" Mrs. Daotai stared at her phoenix eyes: "It's just thinking about what's there and what's not, that's why I messed up everything. Now that the prosperity of the dragon and the phoenix has come to naught, what will you do as an old lady? A birthday present for the concubine's birthday! The lord ordered you to win over Lin Ruhai, so you don't care what Jia Zhen does!"

Liang Daotai suddenly realized when he heard it, the gloom on his face was swept away, and he bowed and smiled at his wife: "Thank you for teaching me, madam, look, madam, this candidate to be sent to Lin's residence..."

"Just Lan'er, I think she is a good one." Madam Daotai smiled: "She is outstanding, what does the master think?"

Liang Daotai's face froze, and he groaned for a long time: "Madam, Lan'er, hey, Madam, I was confused that day, I..."

Mrs. Daotai bent her lips: "No matter what method you use, you must send her to the Lin Mansion, otherwise, if you miss a major event, the prince will blame you, and my cousin Wangfei will not be able to help you!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Daotai turned and left. Liang Daotai looked at the figure of his wife gradually going away, thinking of Lan'er's appearance and figure, and the beauty of that night, and felt a pain in his heart. However, Liang Daotai thought for a second, if this plan It's feasible, he can design Lin Ruhai to accept Lan'er as his concubine, wouldn't it be, hehe, wouldn't he just pick up his own broken shoes and wear them? !Thinking of this, Liang Daotai felt relieved, but she is just a beautiful woman, after a long time, there will be better ones!

Mrs. Daotai was secretly proud that she killed two birds with one stone, and drove away an unsightly scourge. Liang Daotai was delighted to think about the way Lin Ruhai treated the women he had played with as treasures. Neither of them noticed that there was one person who had been hiding under the eaves. Go up, and listen to every word and every word of the two of them.When the night was deep, the man left the Daotai mansion cautiously, and entered an alley. Not long after, a strong man dressed in coarse cloth came out from the alley, carrying a small cloth bag in his hand, turned to look Looking in the direction of Daotai Mansion, he let out a fierce "Bah" and cursed: "Scumbag!" Then he disappeared into the night.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, let's go back to Jia Zhu. During the day, Jia She's letter made Jia Zhu very irritated. Compared with Jia She's letter, Jia Zheng's reply letter made Jia Zhu feel at ease Too much, there was never a moment when Jia Zhu felt that his father's stubbornness was also an advantage!

There was nothing he could do about Jia Amnesty, because the uncle was really, to say something disrespectful, Jia Zhu felt that his uncle was not only greedy and lustful, but also greedy, and would do anything to get promoted and get rich!Compared with my uncle, my father is much more respectable.Jia Zhu can be sure that if he takes out the mountain of loyalty to the emperor, his father will definitely uphold orthodoxy just like his grandfather.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhu's face became more joyful, and after thinking for a while, he took up a pen and wrote back. In the letter, he said in an angry tone that the Qin family relied on the power of the Daotai Mansion to run amok in Hangzhou. My uncle didn't dare to offend Shangfeng for conniving at his bad behavior and was dissatisfied with the emperor's grace, so he described Chen's tragic experience with embellishments, and then asked his father about the relationship between his family and Liang Daotai in a suspicious tone.

After writing eloquently, Jia Zhu sealed the letter and heaved a long sigh of relief. Although his father always emphasized in the reply letter that he must listen to his uncle's teachings and must not be self-absorbed, Jia Zhu can imagine that such "immoral" people from the Qin family What kind of expression would father show on his uncle's "disgraceful" behavior?

For the time being, that's the only way to go. He has nothing to do with his uncle, but with his father, he still has confidence.

The letter was sent away quickly, Jia Zhu went back to the room, Hong Shan and Lu Hu waited for him to wash and change clothes, tonight is Hong Shan's vigil, when Jia Zhu fell asleep, Hong Shan blew out the lights, and then went outside On the kang, light the oil lamp and start sewing. After working for a while, Hongshan stopped and stared blankly at the pattern. When Luhu came in from the outside and saw Hongshan's dazed look, she stretched out her hand and pushed her: "Hongshan Sister Shan?"

Only then did Hongshan come back to her senses, seeing that it was Luhu, she said: "In the past, you have fallen asleep at this time, why are you so energetic today?" Seeing the embroidery pattern in Luhu's hand and the awkwardness on Luhu's face With a look on her face, Hongshan smiled and said, "Strange way, you are asked to practice this embroidery more on weekdays, you can't sit still for a cup of tea, why is the sun coming out from the west today?"

Luhu blushed: "Sister Hongshan, you know that I can't do needlework, but in the past in our house, we would handle any of my brother's clothes, not to mention the old lady's side, or the wife's side It’s not just one or two who are careful with the needlework! But now here, they are all useless, seeing that my brother is about to be a filial piety, and only a few of these clothes have been made, so I’m so anxious!”

Hongshan shook her head when she heard this: "You, I just want to learn it now, but it's not too late. It just so happens that we have a ready-made master here. Look, I just learned this trick today."

Lu Hu took the pattern from Hong Shan's hand, her eyes lit up: "Good sister, she is so beautiful, who is this master you are talking about?"

"Isn't it Grandma Chen over there? I learned a new drawing method from her today, and the patterns I drew are very clever." Hongshan said with a smile.

Lu Hu's eyes flickered, and she approached Hong Shan and said, "Grandma Chen is really ingenious. I saw that Xueying girl is also very pretty. I heard from Ling'er in Grandma Chen's yard that she copied the shadow a while ago. There are rumors that Miss Xueying and our brother Zhu..."

"Jing Hun said, if this word gets out, Miss Xueying's reputation will be ruined!" Hong Shan covered Lu Hu's mouth with her hand, not letting her continue.

"Fame?" Lu Hu curled her lips: "Speaking of which, her father is really hateful. What kind of reputation is there when something like this happens? Now that they stay here, the master is not the master, and the slave is not the slave. do what?"

"You don't need to say a few words. Grandma Chen is also a pitiful person. With such a sister at her knees, she still has to be insulted by these gossips. Those of us who know the basics talk like this. Don't say that Man is an outsider." Hongshan sighed.

Lu Hu froze for a moment, thinking about something, blushed, and fell silent, Hong Shan saw that Lu Hu's face changed, and thought that her words were a bit harsh, so she stopped making a sound.

Fasting and reciting sutras

Jia Zhu's homework has become more serious since the study room that day. When he was in the capital, Lin Ruhai only said that Jia Zhu was the only male in the two houses of the Rongguo Mansion. , and often listened to his second brother-in-law Jia Zheng lamenting about the wickedness, so he only regarded Jia Zhu as the son of a family who was pampered.

Later on the way to Hangzhou, when Lin Ruhai saw Jia Zhu again, he felt that he was smart, studious, and not a dandy. Lin Ruhai felt even more that the second brother-in-law was too strict with Jia Zhu, which hurt the child's body.

Therefore, since staying in Hangzhou, although Lin Ruhai has never let go of Jia Zhu's homework, firstly, he has not found a suitable teacher, and secondly, he wants Jia Zhu to relax for a while and take care of his body, as the saying goes. He was a woodcutter, so Jia Zhu proposed to find a master to learn riding and archery before, and Lin Ruhai agreed. Seeing that Jia Zhu spent almost a day on riding and archery, Lin Ruhai also felt that children are naturally active and not quiet.

Now Lin Ruhai has changed his mind about Jia Zhu. This son's early wisdom is all thanks to his father-in-law's teachings that day. If he walks the right path in the future, he must be a talent for the world. It's too late to regret.Thinking about it this way, this karma is even more important.

It should have been a coincidence, news spread that the Lin family was looking for a teacher, and Lin Ruhai actually found a good person from the people who recommended himself.This person's surname is Zheng, his name is Hang, and his style name is Chongyuan.

Since this Mr. Zheng is not only knowledgeable, but also writes beautiful handwriting, Jia Zhu used to write Zhouzheng, but now he is learning from Mr. Zheng. The first thing is to practice calligraphy. Get up an hour earlier than usual every day for riding and shooting.

Jia Zhu didn't think it was enough, seeing that Fang Xin's fists and kicks were good now, he also wanted to learn some kung fu from Lin University. How dare Lin University teach him? Under Zhu's insistence, he had no choice but to agree.Jia Zhu used to watch, Lin Da and Lin Er held a detached position in the nursing home, Lin Ruhai didn't shy away from the two of them, so Jia Zhu treated them with great respect, but there was something on his mind. There is no one available around me.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen arrived at Jia Min, because Lin's mansion did not host a banquet during the filial piety period, but after all, it was the prefect's wife's birthday, and there was an endless stream of people sending gifts, but Lin Ruhai resolutely refused this time, and it was quite a discount. People's face.

Not long after Jia Min's birthday, it was Grandpa Jia's anniversary. Jia Min decided to go to Lingyin Temple to fast and recite scriptures for the old grandpa. Tao wants to go with him.

This time it is rare for the hostess to go out, and all the maids are very excited. They are no better than those little servants. They can see the sky and follow the masters and young masters. After all, everyone's wishes cannot be fulfilled.

On the day of leaving the mansion, Jia Min sat in a sedan chair, Chen's mother and Xueying's mother and daughter rode in a car, Jia Zhu and Fang Xin rode in front of them, several big maids around the master, nurses and servants, and a few rough envoys The other girl is in the car behind.Only these people took up nearly half of the street, and the people on the street were standing on both sides watching the battle, seeing that this group of people were all in plain clothes, and the onlookers just watched, without pointing fingers.

Not long after they arrived at the gate of Lingyin Temple, someone had already packed up the fasting courtyard to welcome Jia Min and others, because Jia Min and Jia Zhu were going to fast and copy scriptures for three days, fearing that these maids and women would do whatever they wanted, Jia Min entrusted Chen Shi.

The host vacated a side hall for Jia Min's aunt and nephew. There were only two desks and futons in the side hall. The aunt and nephew sat on the ground, concentrating on copying scriptures. The sound of monks chanting outside was accompanied by the sound of wooden fish. endlessly.At night, the aunt and nephew slept on the ground, and after three days like this, both the aunt and nephew looked haggard.

In the evening, Hongshan gave Jia Zhu some ginseng soup to strengthen her body. Jia Zhu was taken aback, "Is there ginseng prepared in the temple?"

Hongshan smiled and said: "How can there be these in the temple? Grandma Chen told me to take them with me before I left the mansion that day. She said that after these three days, I'm afraid my body will suffer a little."

Jia Zhu nodded: "Auntie?"

"Madam has already sent it to her, brother, don't worry." After Hongshan said, Jia Zhu drank the ginseng soup with peace of mind.

Not to mention Jia Zhu's own settlement here, but on Jia Min's side, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Jia Min were sitting on the kang talking. Seeing Jia Min's pale face, Mrs. Chen couldn't help persuading: "Madam is filial, but if it is for you This boil broke the body, and my lord knows, how can I feel at ease."

Jia Min's eyes turned red: "I understand the truth of what my sister said, but now I can only do this for my father."

Seeing Jia Min's appearance and thinking of her deceased father, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel a little moist. Seeing that the sadness of Mrs. Chen was brought up, Jia Min forced herself to smile instead, and the two talked for a while, and Mrs. Chen Seeing that Jia Min really felt better, he went back to his room and settled down.

On the second day, Jia Min and the Chen family went to burn incense and make a wish to ask for a signature. Fang Xin walked all over the hills of Lingyin Temple in three days. It was very clear that Jia Zhu was finally free today, so Fang Xin wanted to take Jia Zhu to the mountain.

A few days ago, Xueying went with Fang Xin, but now that Jia Zhu was going, Xueying refused to go—since those rumors spread, Xueying became extremely sensitive.

On the third day, everyone went back to the mansion. From this day on, they took off their filial piety. Jia Min and Jia Zhu took a bath and changed their plain clothes. Zhu called to the study and introduced him to two unfamiliar men.

Jia Zhu looked at the two men dressed in coarse cloth, their skin was dark, but their eyes were piercing, their backs were straight, and even though they saluted themselves, they were full of arrogance.

Lin Ruhai introduced these two to Jia Zhu, but they were two brothers, the elder brother was named Gao Yong, and the younger brother was named Gao Wu, who do you think this elder brother Gao Yong is?It was the person who heard the words on the beam of the Daotai Mansion that day!

Why did these two people come to the Lin Mansion?But it all originated from Jia Zhu's kind thoughts that day. It turns out that the two brothers are the sons of Chen's nanny.

Not long after Mrs. Chen promised to marry the Qin family, the nanny died of illness. Mrs. Chen and her nurse were very close since childhood, and the two nanny brothers were also loyal people. Master Chen kindly released the brothers of the Gao family and got out of slavery.The two brothers from the Gao family were very strong since they were young, and they also learned some boxing from the Chen family's Nursing Academy. After leaving the Chen family, they joined the family's bodyguard agency. After a few years, the two brothers became the leading bodyguards in the bodyguard agency.

Years ago, the Chief Escort brought his wife and children back to his hometown, so he closed the Escort, and recommended the brothers from the Gao family to the Escort of Hangzhou Weiyuan Escort Bureau. The two brothers returned to Hangzhou with a letter from the Chief Escort, thinking of Mr. Chen Miss He made some inquires. After inquiring, the two brothers suddenly became furious. The Qin family bullied people too much!

The older brother Gao Yong stayed at the Qin family, while the younger brother Gao Wu inquired about the Lin family. After all, the young lady and the young lady are both in the Lin mansion. The person who followed the Song family sedan chair to the Daotai mansion that day and listened to the conversation between Daotai and his wife was the elder brother Gao Yong. .

Knowing that the Lin family is very kind to Miss and Miss, the two brothers were filled with resentment when they thought of what the Qin family had done and Liang Daotai's despicable thoughts. After discussing with each other, the two brothers gave up the idea of ​​being a bodyguard again. Staying with Miss and Miss to protect their wives, at first they hesitated, fearing that the official would not be able to get along well, and finally made up his mind to go to the mansion to ask to see Lin Ruhai.

It so happened that it was the Chen family who went to Lingyin Temple with Jia Min on this day. Lin Ruhai was skeptical after hearing what the brother said. stayed in the house.

After Jia Zhu heard this, thinking about what Gao Yong said about Liang Daotai's words and deeds just now, her eyes were so angry that her eyes were red. Just as she was about to say something, the boy outside reported that Fang Xin had arrived.

Fang Xin is also an old servant of the Chen family, so he naturally knew the brothers of the Gao family. Now that the identities of the two brothers are certain, Lin Ruhai sent someone to the back house to inform the Chen family.

Fang Xin took the Gao brothers out of the study. Jia Zhu originally wanted to discuss Liang Daotai with Lin Ruhai, but Lin Ruhai saw his nephew's thin face and asked Jia Zhu to rest by himself. We will discuss this matter later.

Jia Zhu couldn't do it, so he had to go back to the back house, but he couldn't feel at ease anyway, thinking about it all the time, the next morning, Jia Zhu didn't have the heart to practice riding and shooting, so he hurried to Lin Ruhai's study , but was in vain, and the young fellow Daoist went to the front office early this morning.

Jia Zhu turned around and walked towards Qianya, just after the second gate, she saw Fang Xin and Gao's brothers were also outside the door.

"What is this for? Get up!" Jia Zhu hurriedly said, the two of them looked arrogant yesterday, why did they change their appearance today?

"Great lord, from today onwards, we two brothers are willing to follow you." After the two of them finished speaking, they kowtowed to Jia Zhu again, and Fang Xin handed over the deed of sale prepared by the two of them to Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu took it over and saw that the handwriting on the deed of sale belonged to the Chen family.

"This……"

Seeing Jia Zhu's hesitation, Fang Xin persuaded, "Young Master, just accept it."

Looking at the loyalty in the eyes of the two big men, Jia Zhu held the two deeds and didn't ask any more questions, but she respected the Chen family even more from the bottom of her heart.

Since then, the brothers of the Gao family have become the most powerful people around Jia Zhu. Even though Jia Zhu will be surrounded by other talented people in the future, Jia Zhu always trusts these two brothers the most.

Throwing peaches to repay Li Ruijin to reopen the long house Tianxi throwing stones to ask for directions

Jia Zhu felt a lot more relaxed after getting two brothers Gao Yong and Gao Wu. Although these two brothers are thick and strong men, they are rough but delicate and meticulous in their work.In the past, Jia Zhu often lamented that there was no one around him as available as Lin Da, but now it is as one wishes, thinking in her heart how to reciprocate.

After all, the serious master of the Gao brothers is the Chen family.Nowadays, Jia Zhu has heard the gossip from all over the Lin family, and Xueying's obvious avoidance of him is also due to these rumors. In her eyes, she was still the stubborn and somewhat arrogant little girl back then, how could she have any other thoughts!

After all, it is not a long-term solution for the three of the Chen family to stay in the Lin Mansion. The Chen family is the daughter of a divorced daughter, Xueying is still young, and Fang Xin does not have the ability to support the family. Jia Zhu began to plan to find a way for the Chen family to settle down.The Chen family is a weaving and dyeing family in Hangzhou, and the Chen family is responsible for the secret books of the Chen family. Coupled with the power of his uncle as a magistrate in Hangzhou, it is not difficult to reopen the cloth workshop, but it is rare to be a blockbuster.

Hangzhou has been the most prosperous silk weaving since ancient times. The Chen family was able to occupy a place in the past because of the management of generations. Once lost, it is not easy to gain a foothold now?What's more, the ancient recipes of the Chen family are mostly exclusive to the royal family because of their rarity, so it is wishful thinking to circulate them in the world.

After a while of trouble, Jia Zhu's frowning brows relaxed, and she couldn't help smiling. She was really on the edge of a horn, and she was a layman in weaving and dyeing, so she couldn't think of a reason, since she wanted to plan for the Chen family. , it is still necessary to ask my uncle to help me, why bother to think hard here?

Thinking of this, Jia Zhu put aside his worries and started to practice calligraphy wholeheartedly. After a while, when it was time for class, Mr. Zheng checked Jia Zhu's handwriting and nodded again and again.

In the afternoon, Jia Zhu went to the courtyard to practice martial arts. Now there are two more brothers from the Gao family. Unlike Lin Da and others, the two brothers came from a family of martial arts practitioners. They practiced martial arts since childhood. Those who are a little older have special strengths in learning kung fu. Anyone who is younger than the weak crown can practice, but the result depends on each person's fate.

Both Jia Zhu and Fang Xin were fascinated by this kung fu. These days, they often forgot the time, and each time they were sent by the courts to remind them, and they let it go.

Today is also the same, Hongshan saw that it was time to set meals in a moment, so she sent the little girl in the yard to find someone to pass the message on the door, and after Jia Zhu came back, Hongshan and Luhu were busy changing his clothes, It's hard to miss the hour, and someone from the front spread the word that the lady's room has already set up a meal.

After the meal, Jia Zhu raised his thoughts to Jia Min. Jia Min laughed after hearing this, "It's no wonder you have such thoughts, but the officials don't compete with the people for profit, so your uncle might not be able to come forward."

Jia Zhu shook her head and said: "That's why I talked with my aunt. Not to mention whether or not to compete with the people for profit, since it is a property bought for Xue Ying and his wife, I will continue to use the name of the Chen family. If my uncle is really named in it Li Xia is even more unclear about the melon field, but my aunt is fine. No one in Hangzhou knows about the Chen family's affairs now. The Chen family wants to reorganize the Chen family's business. Not only is it harmless, but it will also gain a good reputation."

Jia Min pondered for a while and said: "The world is biased towards women. She is a married woman and an abandoned wife. She supports the family alone. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

But Jia Zhu said: "Everything has its own advantages and disadvantages. Since my aunt also thinks there is something feasible, let the two of them decide for themselves."

Jia Min nodded, and sent someone to invite Chen's mother and daughter over. After hearing all this, Chen was stunned for a moment, and gradually became determined.

"It is my father's lifelong regret that there is no successor in the Chen family. It is often said that a son-in-law is like a son-in-law. I originally thought that if that person could be trusted, the hard work of the ancestors of the Chen family would not be ruined once. With the support of the son and wife, don’t talk about the pointing of the world, even if it is a knife and a mountain of oil after death, I will not be afraid.” After saying that, Chen looked at her daughter lovingly, and then said: “Just pity me. Xueying, I am tired."

"Mother..." Xueying heard her mother's words, her eyes were firm: "Xueying doesn't care."

Seeing this, Jia Min knew that Mrs. Chen had made up her mind, so she stopped trying to persuade her, and instead mentioned what Jia Zhu was hesitating about, and told Mrs. Chen to listen.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "My son's concerns are reasonable. Back then, the Chen family was able to occupy a place in Hangzhou, the most prosperous weaving and dyeing city, thanks to ancestral craftsmanship and old craftsmen. However, they did not spread my Chen family's craftsmanship to the outside world, the son and wife are not from Jiangnan, so they don't know that the damask silk and surplus silk produced by my Chen family back then are hard to find outside."

Chen's words were like a reassurance, which made Jia Zhu breathe a sigh of relief.

That night, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai finalized the matter, and then searched for a house, bought all the utensils needed, and recruited craftsmen. The rest of Hangzhou heard the news, and each found their backing to discuss countermeasures.

When everything was ready, the Ruijinfang of the Chen family reopened after disappearing for many years. As the Chen family said, the skills handed down by the Chen family ancestors are outstanding. It is unique, and it is also very valuable in the market. Later, Ruijinfang was scattered, and the treasures produced in those days were even more valuable and were collected by aristocratic families. Now that Ruijinfang has reopened, some people can't wait to see it. Now Is this Ruijinfang comparable to the Ruijinfang of the year?

All of a sudden, on the first day of Ruijinfang's opening, the threshold was almost broken, and everyone who entered the door was attracted by the various treasures in the workshop, and they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Because the silk with gorgeous texture is mostly liked by women, as long as the wife and young lady are dignified, in order to avoid the feeling of abruptness, Chen and Jia Min specially arranged a facade for the female relatives, and the guys inside are all clever Children, there is no need to shy away.

What Jia Zhu conspired for the Chen family was based on the principle that rare things are the most precious. Although buying treasures widely can make huge profits at the beginning, it is not a long-term solution. Therefore, the number of treasures produced by Ruijinfang is pitiful, but it also makes those Noble House is even flocking to it.

Ruijinfang specializes in rare, odd, complex, and different, which is completely different from other shops. Therefore, although Ruijinfang’s business is booming, it has little impact on other houses. One more enemy means that the merchants want to be united, so they send people to give gifts to Ruijinfang every major festival and festival. This time, the relationship will naturally become much closer, and the situation of the Qin family will naturally become more serious. It's getting more and more embarrassing.

Now Liang Daotai is all about wooing Jia Zhu, so that he can make up for his mistakes and get back the favor of his superiors. How can he care about the Qin family, a small imperial merchant? Besides, there are many old people from the Chen family in the Qin family's cloth workshop. Now that the Chen family has reopened the family business, these craftsmen are also begging to go, and the rest of the people look at the Qin family. They all resigned and resigned, which made Master Qin so angry that he fell ill in bed, and many people in the market commented that he was clearly retribution.

The people's hearts are against each other, and the other cloth workshops have no interest disputes, so naturally no one will start rumors to slander the Chen family. After the Ruijin workshop has really gained a firm foothold, the Chen family talked about the profit sharing with Jia Min and Jia Zhu. .

"Ruijinfang can see the sun again, thanks to the great kindness of the son and wife. The little woman can't repay it. She should give all the profits she should have received. It's just that the little woman has the cheek to save a dowry for her daughter. Please share Benefit." Since the day Ruijinfang reopened, Chen has been dressed as a widow, and she has changed her claim. Although Jia Min feels sorry for this elder sister, she also knows that she is also trying to guard against rumors.

"Ruijinfang is the ancestral property of the Chen family after all. Its current reputation is entirely due to my sister's skill. I just paid the capital, not to mention one cent of the profit, even five cents of the profit. My sister deserves it too." Jia Min said. Glancing at Jia Zhu: "In the final analysis, without Zhu'er's suggestion, we would not be able to reach today, and the other five points are just right with Zhu'er."

Both Jia Zhu and the Chen family were unwilling to make such a distribution, and finally decided that Jia Zhu would get three points, Jia Min would get four points, and the Chen family would get three points.

That day, Jia Min also used her own dowry to pay the money, and nothing from the public office was used. Therefore, those censors who stared at the Lin family had no talk of impeachment. Naturally, this bonus was also Jia Min's private house, Lin Ruhai Chang often joked that in the future when he retires and returns to the farm, he will have to rely on his wife to support him.

All the dividends that Jia Zhu received were sent to Beijing. Jia Zhu knew that when his grandfather was still alive, he was highly valued by the emperor and had a high position and strict family management. There are very few people who practice favoritism, so they don't worry about money, but when it comes to my father's generation, it becomes more and more elusive. In the end, lending usury privately became one of the crimes of being confiscated!

A few days later, good news came from Beijing. The eldest aunt gave birth to the eldest son of the eldest son, named Jia Lian. The birth of this child caused a slight change in everyone's minds.

At this time, Luhu is based on Jia Zhu's interests. She is a child of the family, and has been a servant of Jia's family for generations. The servants of each mansion also have news exchanges. Since she was a child, she is used to the strife within the family. At this time, seeing that the eldest son had been added to the long room, but Jia Zhu didn't seem to be alert, and handed over a large sum of money to the public. Luhu was anxious in her heart, and wanted to open her mouth several times, but she was a little afraid. ——Now in Hangzhou, Jia Zhu puts Hongshan first in everything, and took the opportunity to beat Luhu several times, and she also restrained herself.

Not daring to tell Jia Zhu this, Lu Hu rolled her eyes and found Nanny Shi.

The most respectable nanny in Lin's house today is Jia Min's nanny, Nanny Shi. This nanny Shi is the son of Jia's family. At first, Nanny Shi and Luhu's mothers were maidservants by Mother Jia's side, and later they married each other. Boy, Nanny Shi later became Jia Min's nanny. When Jia Min got married, Nanny Shi followed Jia Min to the Lin family. For so many years, she only followed Jia Min back to Jia's house to see all the old sisters back then. Now that Luhu is here, Nanny Shi naturally takes care of her a little more than others.

Jia Min treats Jia Zhu kindly, Jia Zhu is also very filial to Jia Min, and Jia Zhu is the lifeblood of the old lady, so Nanny Shi also likes Jia Zhu very much. When she was in Jia's mansion, she couldn't understand the uncle Because of that face, he took Lu Hu's words for granted, and found a free time to talk to Jia Min.

After hearing this, Jia Min groaned, she was married, and she shouldn't interfere in the affairs between her natal brother and his wife, but seeing her nephew's ignorance, Jia Min finally called Jia Zhu.

But Jia Zhu smiled calmly after hearing this: "The words are from the public, but who knows that I sent them back from Hangzhou to honor my grandmother. Could it be that my uncle didn't even want this face, and plotted for my nephew's money?"

"Pearl!" Hearing what Jia Zhu said, Jia Min sighed and shook his head.

But Jia Zhu said with a smile: "I know that my aunt is doing it for my own good, but the money obtained from Ruijinfang is foreign profit after all and cannot last long. In the future, I have to think of some long-term ways to support the family. It's good to try it with this matter." , if someone really doesn't care about face, I don't have to worry about a lot in the future, right?"

Uncle Foolishly Begging for Life and Resentment

Jia Zhu laughed it off, but Jia's mansion in Beijing really responded to the concerns of Lu Hu, Shi Nai and others.

This time, among the things Jia Zhu sent people to bring back were not only gold and silver, but also plain brocade made by Ruijinfang. The white cranes and the like naturally fell into the eyes of Jia Mu, and the rest were naturally given to the two wives Wang and Li.There is also a complete set of long-lived locks, Ruyi bracelets and other items prepared for Jia Lian. Therefore, when Jia She and his wife and Jia Zheng and his wife went to Jiamu's room to say hello at night, Jiamu ordered someone to put the things together.
