Rebirth of the Red Mansions: Jia Lian's way of turning over

On the second day, the relocation of Rongqingtang and Lixiangyuan began. The old lady and Wang Xifeng both love wealth and wealth. Now there is a lot of money left in the public house, but it is worth spending money. It is necessary to make both places extremely gorgeous.

Wang stared secretly, seeing all the good things in the warehouse being carried to Rongqingtang and Lixiangyuan one by one, she turned pale with vomiting.

That's not all, in the next few days, Wang Xifeng spent more and more money on several major events, which even hurt the old lady looking at it, but it's okay, the gift must be given heavily, and the funeral must also be held grandly.

With such ups and downs, a total of 10 taels of silver was spent, how could the old lady remember what she bought and how much she gave away.

In the end, Wang Xifeng's fake gift list was not dismantled, and Jia Lian personally sent it to the Wang family and the Beijing Palace.

Ping'er wrote with special ink, and when the old lady read it and stamped it with the seal of Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng took it back and roasted it, and nearly half of the writing on it disappeared.

Wang Xifeng filled it with other objects, and asked Jia Lian to steal the things and turn them into phoenixes. Without anyone noticing, who could doubt anything.

The only variable in this plan should be Jia Zheng. Originally, the second master was supposed to go along with Jia Lian to win the relationship. I persuaded him to go to the Ministry of Industry, but he happened to be away.

Although Jia Zheng coveted the title of Rongguo Mansion and has been doing scientific research, he also wants the official body that fell from the sky.

Jia Lian advised him to take advantage of the imperial decree and hurry up to consolidate his official status, and to fill in the vacancy directly after the filial piety. If he waits until he observes the filial piety, who will remember their Rongguo Mansion in the vicissitudes of life? Can't you file a complaint?

When talking about this, Jia Lian obviously saw the emotion on the face of the second master, and could see that he is not a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth!

In addition, Jia Lian also advised him to avoid the King of Jingjing, he had just lost face with the King of Jingjing, and he might not be able to take care of him if he got close to him, because being ashamed outside for no reason would be a hindrance to his reputation in Rongguo Mansion.

Given such reasons and excuses, Jia Zheng resigned from the old lady's request without saying a word. He couldn't pull back the eight horses and went straight to the Ministry of Industry. It's impossible to get things done right away.

Speaking of which, Jia Lian really wanted to see Jia Zheng's expression when he was evaded, and also wanted to see how good-looking he would be when he was the head of the Rongguo Mansion, but he couldn't deal with an official who didn't even have a rank.

Those stolen things were finally placed in Jia Lian's private house. The newly bought private house was equipped with guards and servants. Jia Lian's nanny Zhao Da personally supervised it, and all the people in the house were also controlled by Wang Xifeng. Make arrangements, faithfully want to come without any worries.

But these can only be counted as sporadic points. The real big part is still buying funeral gifts.

Jia Lian had been a businessman in his previous life, and he had a deep understanding of the purchasing business. In this life, if he wanted to withhold money from the Rongguo Mansion, no one would know how to do it.

Most of the good goods in Beijing are in the hands of those giants of the chamber of commerce, and the prices are basically set, with little fluctuation in the arc, but one thing is certain, that is, the price is much higher than the purchase price.

Jia Daishan died suddenly, and the family did not prepare for his funeral, but his funeral was of a high level, and he needed a lot of things. It would cost a lot of money to buy all the things in a short period of time.

What's more, Rongguo Mansion held two funerals in succession. As the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhu's funeral would not be too shabby either.

In fact, both the old lady and Mrs. Wang know the quantity and market price, no matter how much they try, they cannot exceed 5000 taels, otherwise Jia Lian will definitely be scolded, or he will be completely marginalized, and he will not even have the right to walk around the house. up.

Therefore, Jia Lian's plan is to let the merchants lower the price, and it is a big price reduction.

The Rongguo Mansion has status and status. When the funeral is held, all the dignitaries in the entire capital will be present. The big chambers of commerce in Beijing have backgrounds and entanglements with each other. , will care.

For example, the new Buzhuang flower garden opened by Chief Minister Dai of the palace is very concerned about these, especially there are many in-demand goods in the palace, which are of excellent quality but cannot be advertised with great fanfare, so they can only come secretly.

Jia Lian promised to promote the source of goods to him secretly, and when he buys from his shop, the price will drop by three tiers, and he can also subtly please Mr. Dai, not to mention the bargain deal, but when he returns to Rongguo Mansion, everything will be quoted at the market price, and the three tiers will benefit In an instant, Jia Lian made a lot of money.

In addition, Jia Lian went to the black market to find a seller who specializes in cleaning dirt, and bought a bunch of good antiques from him that had just been unearthed, and then found those antique shops that specialize in selling fakes, and picked out some unremarkable but solid ones. of.

In this way, 2% of the money spent fell into Jia Lian's hands, and it was [-] taels all over the place.

Originally, Wang Xifeng really thought that the housekeeper would empty out his dowry. How could he have imagined that the second master of their family is so good at dealing with people from all walks of life. He only had to hold two funerals, so he made friends with Mr. Dai and the black market in the palace. The youngest son of the official secretary's family in the background.

If this job falls into the hands of the second master, I'm afraid that the money he pays will make everyone feel distressed. Just looking at the full 3000 taels he spent to implement his official status, we can see how well he handles affairs.

Jia Lian took advantage of the opportunity of walking outside to go to the Beijing Prince's Mansion. The Rongguo Mansion gave the third prince a full 3 taels of silver. Such a large amount of money, the prince will definitely respond. It would be best if he accepted it. If he doesn't accept it, Jia Lian will definitely put it in his pocket and take it away by himself.

It seemed that the third prince really didn't want to have anything to do with the Jia family, nor would he get close to Jia Lian for money, and the 3 taels of silver would be returned in full, which made the King of Beijing very distressed.

Normally, a prince's mansion only needs 2 taels a year to live a very good life. With the current situation of the Third Prince's mansion, it would be a big loss not to have this 3 taels.

Without saying a word, Jia Lian stuffed it in his pocket, and then bought a lot of land deeds, and even bought a small hot spring village.Jia Lian thought that Wang Xifeng's physique was not good, and spending more time in hot springs would surely give him a son soon.

With so much wealth in his hands, not to mention Jia Lian's peace of mind, Wang Xifeng was so happy from ear to ear, if it wasn't for the wrong timing, Wang Xifeng would have laughed three times.

When the two couples were so excited that they were wasting money, Mrs. Jia announced the news of Jia Daishan's death in Rongxi Hall. At this moment, the smelly room was finally opened for ventilation, but what followed was an uneasy feeling. The stench of dead bodies.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng smelled such a smell, and when they saw Jia Daishan who had been stiff for a long time and his face began to rot, they were so shocked that they couldn't believe it.

Jia Daishan has been dead for many days, and the two sons don't even know it.

But when they came back to their senses, both of them understood why the old lady concealed the news of her death, and neither of them dared to speak out.

Nanny Lai took the mandarin ducks to carefully change Jia Daishan's clothes, and then asked Lai Da and Zhou Rui to put the corpse in the coffin and cover it up, so that the smell of the corpse gradually dissipated.

At that time, Wang Xifeng was still busy setting up the mourning hall, so she didn't find out that Jia Daishan had been dead for a long time. When the coffin was delivered to the mourning hall, she didn't even think about opening it to have a look.

The Xing family pretended to be sad and passed out, and after the Elder Master left, someone sent a message to Ping'er, telling them to move quickly, and the move must be completed within today, otherwise she would have to drive them away.

After hearing the news of the old man's death, Ping'er moved out the remaining things in the house. The Lixiang Courtyard had already been resettled, so he wouldn't feel rushed to live there now.

As for Mrs. Wang, she was also busy. The prince returned to Beijing, and she took Yuanchun and Baoyu to the palace, but she has not returned yet.

Maybe Mrs. Jia deliberately chose this day because she wanted to cover up the matter. Anyway, her goal was achieved. Those who knew the matter kept their mouths shut, and those who didn't know had no way of knowing about it.

After Jia Lian came back and heard about the situation in the mansion, he couldn't help but mocked twice.

A majestic Rong Guogong, a general in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, died in the inner house for many days, and the two sons dared not even ask for their own self-interest, and they didn't even feel guilty. How ridiculous.

If the Holy Majesty were to know about such a thing, he might feel that he was very unsympathetic, but fortunately, he, Jia Lian, was completely ignorant, so there was no need to involve him.

Judging from the current situation, the Holy Majesty should be okay with him, but Prince Beijing said that the Holy Majesty has always praised him for his intelligence.
