The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

... Dare love is just a pass?

Yuan Kang made it clear, "I'm afraid the mother-in-law herself is the biggest shareholder." But that's the case, it is also money that has to be handed over to the government and the court!

"That's not true." Yuan Chun smiled and shook his head.

"Who is that? Since she isn't?" Yuan Kang frowned and thought, seeing Yuan Chun laughing weirdly, he scratched her itch with his hands, "Well, you dare to make fun of your own husband, I see Say it or not!"

It was hard for him to make it difficult, and Yuan Chun immediately begged for mercy, "I said, I said, good brother, please forgive me."

This good brother made Yuan Kang squint his eyes, and couldn't help but hug her and kiss her. Yuan Chun was afraid of embarrassment, so he quickly grabbed him and said, "Are you still listening?"

It's really not good to be too indulgent when the sky is bright and bright, Yuan Kang coughed lightly, "Then you talk about it."

"My lord, don't even think about the name, Da Yuan Bank, whose family it belongs to." Yuan Chun looked at him with a smile on his lips.

Da Yuan...Yuan Kang opened his mouth slightly, and he let out his breath after a long while, "Could it be that this is actually Emperor Father?"

Yuan Chun nodded, "It's okay to say it's the emperor, but generally the operation of Dayuan does not need to be approved by the emperor, as long as it has the empress's phoenix seal."

Sure enough, he still underestimated the Jia family!

Yuan Kang stood up, paced and thought, and went through his mind carefully, "When did this happen?"

"My lord has never looked at the dowry of my concubines." Yuan Chun wiped away the tears that just came out of laughter with a handkerchief, "After marrying you, when paying respects to the empress, please ask the empress's phoenix seal and Autographed as the seal token of the first shareholder of Dayuan Bank, and then the emperor personally allocated 20 taels as the guarantee fund of Dayuan. The two saints each accounted for two fifths of the shares, and my mother accounted for five. One-fifth, and the remaining two-fifths are decided by my mother, and then invited the old prince and eight other Shanxi merchants to share different amounts of investment for future dividends. The total is 500 million taels, all of which exist. The safest place in the world.” In fact, the person in charge is the mother, although in this book, her share of capital is not the largest, but everyone else said that they just pay and wait for the annual dividends.

Yuan Kang still couldn't react, "Why did the father and the queen agree?" The safest place in the world, isn't it in the father's private treasury?Is Mrs. Jia directly donating silver to her father?

Regardless of this, but in every dynasty and generation, there are no emperors and queens who have to pay for business. What's the matter? Everything in the world belongs to them, so is it still necessary?

"Why don't you agree?" Yuan Chun thought simply, but also very directly, "With this steady stream of money, if the emperor and the empress have any personal hobbies, there is no need to be announced to the world, and even the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not need to be alarmed. Why can't I spend my money?"

However, what is the father and queen mother going to do, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?Yuan Kang still couldn't understand it, and what he couldn't figure out was that Mrs. Jia was clearly a white wolf with empty hands, but even his wise, martial, kind, wise and wise queen mother got into her shell!

Looking at Yuan Kang's appearance, Yuan Chun thought for a while, and then said, "For example, your lord, you have a salary every year, a fief, and four seasons of filial piety, right?"

"Yeah, you are in charge of this." Isn't this what should be done?

"Do you think this money is enough for you to spend?" Yuan Chun took Yuan Kang's hand and said, "My prince is not fond of sex, second, he doesn't like to gamble and drink, and third, he doesn't know how to play around. Xiang Rending, there is still some food left after eating."

Yuan Kang sounded right, "Yeah, I've never been short of money." If he was short of money, it would be plausible!

"Listen to my analogy." Yuan Chun said angrily.

"Listen."

"You married me, but the original salary, feudal filial piety will not increase just because I have more people in the family, will it?"

"Yes, yes, but I..." The money is completely enough!

Yuan Chun held him down, "Listen to me first."

"Ok."

"Then I prefer delicious food and beautiful utensils, and I have brought a lot of people. In this way, your annual expenditure of 3 taels has increased to 4 taels, and there is no money left."

"..." Does it cost so little for a person?Where does his income stop at 6 or 3 taels?It's okay to spend more money, don't touch your dowry money, otherwise how can he afford to lose this person?Yuan Kang originally wanted to say that this number is not too outrageous to him. He didn't need to spend in the palace before, but he had savings. After he opened the mansion, he needed to spend everywhere. He has seen that all kinds of human relations, etc., are indeed around [-] taels a year.But seeing that Yuan Chun's words were not finished, he had no choice but to continue listening.

"In the next year, I fell in love with the prince and gave birth to a little princess."

Yuan Kang said happily, "You have it!"

"Hey, my lord, listen carefully, I'm just using metaphors!" Yuan Chun kicked him, really!

"Oh." Yuan Kang giggled foolishly, daughter is good, she must be as cute as Yueyue.It's not bad to have a son. He took him to ride a horse and swim in the water.

"After she is born, do you want to have someone around? As a father, don't you want to give her the best?"

"Give it! Of course I will. At that time, I will be like my mother-in-law. How about setting up a big amusement park for her to play in? Well, I still have to pick a piece of beautiful jade. Your family has the habit of adorning jade. We The little princess must also be missing, otherwise she will definitely cry when she meets someone else, and..." Yuan Kang was overjoyed when he thought about buying things for his daughter.

Yuan Chun smiled even wider, "Does that cost more money?"

"It's right to spend money." Yuan Kang nodded repeatedly.

"But isn't your salary, fief, and filial piety still so much? What can we do?" Yuan Chun asked, "As the emperor's most beloved young son, you can't accept bribes and do things to oppress the people. It’s about usurpation and looting.”

Yuan Kang waved his hand, "That can't be done! But my daughter, my father will give me the title of county master." He touched his little wife's face, "Don't worry, there will be a lot if anyone is missing. Our children's."

"...The child belongs to the child. Could it be that you, the father, can't give it to you?" Yuan Chun tapped his nose, "There will be children in the future, and they will all lick their faces and ask the father for it." Is it? I have to be able to make money.” Asking for others is better than asking for yourself!

Yuan Kang suddenly came to his senses, "Then you also took the money from the family to do business?"

"Where do I have the time to take care of it?" Yuan Chun said in detail, "Like you, the old prince, your majesty, every word and deed of the empress is stared at by others, how could it be possible to do business by yourself Woolen cloth."

"Then this is?" Yuan Kang was a little confused again.

"This is investment. My mother has a good idea to make money. She has made a feasible plan and estimated income. She needs to invest the funds and show them to the emperor's ladies. They think it can be done, so they take out the corresponding money. Account for the corresponding proportion. I will leave it to my mother to do it. When the time comes to lose money at the end of the year, everyone will calculate the loss according to the proportion. If they continue to operate and earn, they will share dividends according to the proportion.” If he hadn’t been with his mother all the time, Yuan Chun might not have Way to understand.

……

"Is the Da Yuan Bank making money right now?" Yuan Kang asked the main point. The real money was locked in the vault of the emperor, and the money was sent to the government. Did it make money or lose it?

……

Yuan Chun laughed again, "Then it depends on the prince and my father."

"..."

He'd better take another look.I don't know if the Jia family got on the father's boat, or if the father was tied up on the madam's thief boat?

Seeing that the day of the competition mentioned by Jia Zheng is approaching, and Sun Jiaqi has gradually become a "popular man", because he often bills and collects money, everyone also nicknamed him Sun Jiapiao.

"Sun Jiaqi, how many tickets have you got today?" Someone asked Sun Jiaqi when they saw him.

Sun Jiaqi also smiled, "Don't even mention it, there really isn't one today."

"Impossible, I just saw Jiang Shirong, who is well-versed in logistics." Someone tipped off.

Just as he was talking, Jia Zheng led a group of people out, and everyone stood aside to salute him.

"No." He said to Sun Jiaqi, "I said that those seedlings that are just the first names will be rewarded, have the states and counties issued a note?"

Sun Jiaqi hurriedly said, "It's out."

"Well, let's settle this one first." Jia Zheng was about to call Jiang Shirong, and Qiao Yanxue, who was behind him, bent over and stood up, cupping his hands and bowing, "My lord, my lord, please give me some face, this money Let the villain come out."

Without saying a word, Jiang Shirong had already pulled out the notebook from his arms, and was about to settle the bill with Sun Jiaqi. The people following Qiao Yanxue were also clever, and immediately followed him, holding up the white paper ticket and saying, "My lord, you should still accept the money." Mine."

With Jia Zheng around, the others didn't dare to speak out, but they kept muttering in their hearts, this money, is there someone who is in a hurry to pay?

Qiao Yanxue didn't send the money, Sun Jiaqi didn't recognize him.

In the end, he followed Jia Zheng all the way to Yiranju, handed in a post and stood guard at the door, feeling a little too nervous to sit down.

Like his Wang Gang and Zhang Dianying, he was just as uneasy, and Qiao Shanyue, the eldest son of the Qiao family, was still young and energetic, "Father, you couldn't do this in front of the governor of Shanxi." He didn't know that the old father still had this side.

"Go, how can that Ai Shijing be compared with Madam." Qiao Yanxue finally handed over some of the family business to the second brother to take care of it, thinking of following Madam to continue the gold digging.

After being stared at by her father, Qiao Shanyue didn't dare to say anything, thinking to herself, Hao Lai is still the governor of Shanxi, although after the eldest prince Xian Junwang came over, he became a decoration at all, but in the end he was still the governor of Shanxi. Isn't it an official of the second rank?

After a while Caixia came out, and personally sent the name sticker back to Qiao Yanxue, "Master Qiao is here, we should meet each other, but Madam is not well, and I haven't been able to meet outsiders yet, please forgive me." She took out another letter Invitation letter and ten tickets in red and gold stamping, "The day after tomorrow will be the day when our adults will hold the first National Games in Guangdong and Guangxi, and I invite Master Qiao to watch it."

"Okay, we must go, we must go."

Qiao Yanxue looked at those things still piled up at the door, afraid that they would not accept them, and persuaded Caixia, "I also ask my sister to take these things to my wife. They are just Shanxi specialties, not worth anything."

"So..." Caixia hesitated a bit, Madam didn't like to accept gifts from outsiders, she always said that if someone gave a gift, she still had to think about returning it, why don't she just buy whatever she wants and feel at ease.

"It's really a worthless little thing!" Qiao Yanxue was deeply afraid that she would be indifferent to her wife in the future, so she begged gently, and hurriedly led her away.

Seeing this, Caixia just asked them to take the things to Madam's waiter first, "We'll talk about it when I get back to Madam."

"Yes."

"Sit down, girl, the sun is very hot, please take a rest."

"Yes, the girl is sitting on this bamboo mat. It was woven clean a while ago, and no one has ever used it."

"Okay, I have something to do, you don't have to be busy, just keep a close watch on the door."

Where did Caixia have time to sit in the concierge, she was still rushing back.Madam wanted to meet this merchant Qiao just now, but unfortunately the master stopped her, and she was afraid that she would have something to explain later.

Sure enough, as soon as she opened the curtain, she saw Caiyun gesturing to her. No one was staying in the room. She listened vaguely, as if the master was talking about his wife—you can see any man...

Is it possible that the master still eats these idle vinegar?She dismissed this little thought, and hurried to the side, where it has now become an independent accounting room and continued to look over the accounts.

When Jia Zhu arrived at the port of Panyu, it was just dawn and the mist on the water was still there. The old fisherman on the barge helped him to get off the boat. Seeing that he gave him five Wen, he was very happy and said with a smile, "Go slowly, Don't worry. The weather is guaranteed to be fine today, I'm afraid this young master is just here to watch the fun, hurry up, it hasn't started yet, you can go there at this time, and you will definitely catch up." He said yes in the local dialect, Jia Zhu How can I understand, seeing his wrinkled face talking, I can only say sorry with my hands, and then rush out.

The people who followed him hurriedly jumped out of the boat to hold him back, "My lord, do you know where your wife is, just rush like this."

"Oh, I'm also confused." Jia Zhu never felt that the road was so long, and he had never been so tired before going to Hangzhou, Jinling and Shanxi.

At this time, the person Jia Zheng sent to pick him up also noticed that he thought he would have a few days of work, but he didn't expect that he really got credit for running a few days earlier this time, so he hurried forward to Jia Zhu. Bowing, "Master, little Wu'er, here to take you home."

Jia Zhu saw that his clothes were indeed the same as those at home, and there was a name tag number on his chest, so she nodded, "How is Madam today? Are you okay?"

"My wife is fine. I will attend the National Games with my master today." They all know about these important events. Wu'er led Jia Zhu and others to the side of the carriage. Little master, I can't help but ask one more question, "Master, grandma and the others..." It's okay if they don't meet all of them.

"Don't worry about anything else, you leave the carriage to them, the grandma will be taken care of by them, you take me to see my wife first!" Jia Zhu was surprised and happy in her heart, but she was afraid that they would coax him and was anxious to see her mother.

Seeing this, Wu'er had no choice but to hand over the carriage to Jia Zhu's servant, scratching his head and hesitating, "Master, there is still a long way to go, we have to go back to the mansion first and ride faster."

"it is good."

After all the little ones had been tidied up, Wang Guizhi just got up and was yawning with Yuanyuan in his arms, while Baoyu Meiyu helped her dress up.

Wanting to lead them to watch the excitement earlier, Wang Guizhi also became more energetic, "Let's bring the breakfast and let's eat, and prepare two sets of clothes, when the time comes, we'll hang out in it."

"Then how can it be done! There will be too many people at that time, if something happens..." Caixia objected subconsciously.

Wang Guizhi then ordered four people to follow, "Bao Yu Mei Yu Yuan Yuan, can you promise to hold hands all the time to play?"

"Yes!" I heard from my mother that I don't know how lively it is there, so they thought they could go to play.

"That's fine!" She sent people to build the whole place, and all the people wearing red armbands are her people, and there are people from the government who are accompanied by an adult nanny. I don't worry about it, so I don't need to go out from now on. Well, stay in the house every day to see if the stars will fall down.

They went out the door happily, and Wu'er led Jia Zhu back after a while, and after saying hello, they knew that the wife had just left, so the two had to rush inside to lead a few horses and chase after her.

"Mother!"

Seeing Wu'er pointing to the carriage ahead as his wife's carriage, Jia Zhu couldn't help screaming.

"Mother!"

Hearing the call, Wang Guizhi stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car, poked his head out to look, and waved the handkerchief in surprise and said, "Pearl!"

Jia Zhu almost fell off the horse. Seeing his mother smiling like a flower with his own eyes, tears came down his eyes, and he was finally all right.

This Wang Guizhi stopped, and Jia Zhu got into the carriage. Without saying a word, she tugged at Wang Guizhi's sleeve and fell asleep.

"What's wrong with big brother? Why is he dozing off now?" Yuanyuan knelt beside Jia Zhu, gently poked Jia Zhu's face twice with her short finger, and found that he was not awake at all. He looked at his mother, "The genius has just dawned."

Wang Guizhi said in a low voice, "He's tired, let him sleep well." It must be because he knew she was ill and rushed here immediately, it must be hard work for him.

Thinking of this, she tried to sit on the side so that he could sleep well, and told Caixia, "We will get out of the carriage in a while, and we will send Zhuer back to rest first, and prepare some hot soup."

"Yes."

Before arriving at the place, I heard the characteristic noise when people were talking more.

Wang Guizhi smiled slightly. In the future, she will definitely set up a seafood market bigger than Japan. This number one, let □□ take it~

When Qiao Yanxue brought her son and shopkeepers here, she thought she was going to support her and brought a lot of people, but who would have expected that there would be crowds already, and the place surrounded by blue cloth could not be seen at a glance. In the end, just as they were about to enter along the flow of people, they saw a hand blocking them, "Hi, please show your admission ticket."

"Admission ticket?" Qiao Yanxue remembered that Caixia gave it to him at that time, and asked someone to take it out for him, only to see that the head was counted and tore off a small section on the right side, and then said, "Ten guests, please Come on, you have to keep this ticket well, if you encounter us checking the ticket, you have to show it."

"There are fifteen of us." Qiao Shanyue asked, and he was stopped outside, "What should I do!"

"My lord, hurry up and see if you can buy a ticket? It costs five cents a ticket, not expensive." The man pushed lightly, and began to examine the tickets handed over by others.Qiao Yanxue had no choice but to ask her son to buy the ticket by himself through the fence, "Hurry up, we'll wait for you here."

Qiao Shanyue had no choice but to rush to the other end where there was also a queue to buy some admission tickets.

Someone pointed to the fence at the entrance and showed Qiao Yanxue, "Master, look, there is a trick here. If the person doesn't press it, he will be blocked by a wooden stick if he wants to enter."

"Sure enough, Madam's handwriting." Qiao Yanxue looked at the flow of people separated by flowers, trees and potted plants, and felt eager to go shopping.

The people on the other side of the gate are from the government, and those who can follow are the top names selected in various places.

"This is the clothes, you all should change them. Your own officials have to see clearly who is from which place, otherwise they will recognize the person by the clothes, and you can't complain about the wrong grades."

In addition to the different colors, there are only animals painted with the twelve zodiac signs on the body, but their appearance is a bit strange.

It was the first time for everyone, and they couldn't help asking, "Master Guan, what is this? Can we take this clothes away?"

"All the tickets given to us have been given to our family members. Where are they?"

"Is this place a place for running?"

"I didn't see the water, what should I do if I got wet?"

"It's not allowed to bring dry food, what should we do if we are tired during the tug-of-war?"

……

Li Ge was one of only three girls here, after putting on his clothes, he walked with the other two girls.

"Hello, my name is Li Ge."

"I'm Shan Meier."

"I'm Second Sister Ling."

Everyone giggled and said at the same time, "Are you all runners?"

As for the old village chief on this side, supported by Li Shan, he felt his eyes were blurred.

Li Ge is the most competitive one in their Dongfeng Village. Everyone else has been brushed off. She can come here to participate in the finals and get the prized taro seeds (they can choose from three kinds of seeds). They bought two tickets for a penny and told them they could come to watch the game.

Li Shan smelled the fragrance and wanted to go to the left, "Village Chief, let's go this way, you smell it, it smells so good! There must be something delicious!"

The old village head also smelled it, but he wanted to go to the places that sell things on the right, "Lishan, do you see farm tools on the other side?" He was still thinking about the villagers at home.

Seeing the old village chief's insistence, Li Shan could only help him to walk to the right, "Let's hurry up, we have to watch Amei's game soon."

"Stop talking nonsense."

As soon as they approached, many people stood at the entrance of the stall like them. Seeing some people surrounding them, the people behind the stall began to introduce the names, uses, advantages and disadvantages of these agricultural tools in order.

"...This plow is very laborious for going deep, and it is not recommended to use it in places with many rocks, so as not to damage the knife head, the loss outweighs the gain... There is also this long phoenix sickle, which is especially suitable for chopping, cutting, and pulling ..."

Li Ge couldn't help asking, "Is this person stupid? Why do people who sell things say that? Do you still want to sell it!" Doesn't it make people feel that the shortcomings are not good enough?

Before he finished speaking, a strong man gave him a contemptuous look, "Hey, store, how much is it for?"

"Guest, how much do you buy?"

"I'll just buy one."

"One costs 1000 and [-] Wen."

"Success!" This plowshare was originally something he wanted to add, and it was cheaper than the one he went to the iron shop to see before. It was one hundred yuan.Originally, he came to see it with his brother, thinking that it would be cheaper to buy it later, but there are some for sale here. They are honest in their business, the things are not bad, and the price is fair, so he is willing to buy.

Before leaving, he glanced at Li Ge, and carried it away with great pride.

The old village head made repeated selections, and finally chose a big guy - a pumping scooter, and put down a deposit of one penny. This will send someone to go with them to the village to make it.

"In the future, in our village, we won't have to climb up and down all the time with our backs on our backs."

The old village head felt that if he could really step on the water to the entrance of their village like this, it would really be much more convenient in the future.

Li Ge was a little uneasy, "The village chief, didn't they say that if we don't have enough river water, we won't be able to do it."

"This shows that people have this ability! Look more and learn." The old village chief said, and then began to look elsewhere, tsk tsk, these embroidered shoes are really beautiful, I don't know how much a pair is, if the old lady is here , definitely can't walk again.

It was busy, and suddenly everyone heard a voice that seemed to be speaking in their ears clearly, "The first Guangdong-Guangdong All-□□ Games will officially start soon, please go to your seats to watch, so as not to miss our sports athletes Bravery."

Everyone moved faster, and as the crowd flowed, someone would guide them to the trapezoidal ring-shaped seats one by one.

After a few more adults said a few short words, the game officially started.

"what is this?"

Qiao Shanyue watched as a man in a red hat took money from the person in front of him and issued a ticket.

The man came to Qiao Shanyue, "My lord, do you want to place a bet?"

"Bets?"

"That's right, the next race is a running race. This section of the road is 200 meters. Every time three people compete together, the color of their clothes is similar to that of animals. Whoever wants to cross the line will be the winner. The race can continue. I can see it. Which one do you bet on?"

Qiao Shanyue had always been restrained by her father from gambling, but Qiao Yanxue gave him some coins, "Choose one for me."

"Okay, I think the chinchilla is good this time, you bet two coins. You have the ticket, and then go there to get the silver if you win." The man quickly issued a ticket to them, and he He ran to greet another person.

"That didn't even mention the odds?"

"It says on it that if the winner wins, he will share the bets of the other two in proportion to the purchase."

"How much is that?"

"Who knows? It's just for fun." Qiao Yanxue also wanted to join in the fun, but unexpectedly, Qiao Shanyue kept paying attention. Seeing that the squirrel really won, she rushed to collect the money. He actually brought back nearly a tael of silver.

"No one else bought her. Look at the ground mouse is a girl. There were only three people who bought her to win, so we got a lot of points."

It is conceivable that Jia Zheng will be attacked again after this, but it is often the most profitable political achievement point.

Wang Guizhi was also one of the bettors. Yuanyuan pinched the little silver, her face was flushed with excitement, and she kept shouting, "Come on, come on."

"Feed him some water." Seeing how happy they were, Wang Guizhi felt that no matter what happens in the future, at least she and the children are happy now, so it's worth it.
