The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

It was her birthday today, and the show was about to end. Unexpectedly, she was rewarded by Jia Amnesty at this time. Yingchun was very happy, and she was going to open it right away. This is the first time she has received something from her father on her birthday. , the significance is not insignificant.Yingchun attached great importance to this small box, and let the maid named Si Qi hold it, and opened it by herself.Everyone also gathered around, and saw that it was a pure ice porcelain cream brush wash, with a trace of cracks, but the flaws could not be concealed, it was simple and elegant, and it was not ordinary at first glance. Remembering that Jia She said that it was a thing from the previous dynasty, everyone was shocked. Knowing that Jia She is quite famous in the gold and stone and antique circles in Beijing and China, there is no doubt about it.Immediately, everyone admired Yingchun and envied Yingchun's good life. Now that father loves mother and loves brother and brother respectfully, it is completely different from the past overnight.

Jia Shen naturally didn't know that he gave away something casually that made his nieces and nieces envious of his daughter, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, he gave Yingchun the things he got in exchange for shopping, and he just went to the study room to rummage. I want to find a pull to please my eldest son.Now Jia Amnesty is holding Ning Shan everywhere, which seems like a "filial son". Naturally, Ning Shan doesn't know that he looks down on Jia Lian by beating or scolding him, and hates him for being fooled by the second room. And the more he vented his anger on him, he felt that it was very rare to see such an imposing father as Jia She, but he didn't think too much about the reputation of this incompetent dandy.In the previous life, Ning Shan's father was a veteran of the three dynasties. He lived in a first-rank official position and held a heavy army.The children and grandchildren all follow him as a role model, so they respect him very much and are very obedient. When Jia She compared him with him, there was no scum left.Ning Shan felt that she could understand such a small-minded and considerate attitude, and she didn't care what other people thought of her.Although others felt that there was something wrong with the father and son's way of getting along, they would not give advice or sarcasm.As for the political opponents attacking Ning Shan for being unfilial, Jia Amnesty jumped up and sent Ning Shan back without any explanation from him.He is now able to go to court as a Marquis. Occasionally, when he gets up, he will ride Ning Shan's carriage to go to court. Although Ning Shan is a military commander, but in order not to show off, he will not easily ride a horse in the capital to show off. For the sedan chair or carriage bestowed by the emperor, Jia Amnesty would follow along with whatever he had, and when he thought of it, he would go up and turn around for a while, and yell at opponents whose son was inconvenient to come forward in person, such as Wang Ziteng before he was promoted, four kings and eight Gongyi is a diehard supporter of Zhenguo Gong Niuqing's son and grandson, but most of the time he oversleep and needs to take leave.

Jia She, who is devoted to pleasing his son, has no record after persuading several companies to repay the loan, which makes him very anxious.At the moment when he was so focused on showing his ability to his eldest son, how could he be good if he suddenly lost his mission?Jia Amnesty pondered for a few days. He became an official and his son was promoted. At this stage, it is not easy to get promoted again. It is better to start with money.Jia Amnesty firmly believes that everyone loves the white money. The Ning family has not many people in all generations, and none of them are good at management. Except for the foundation laid by the founding of the country, most of them are war fortunes.It's just that since ancient times, the family has been poor and wealthy, and the families of military generals have spent a lot of money on raising their children. As a result, the Ning family's current family fortune is only ranked in the upper middle class in Nuoda's capital, and it is even worse than the Rongguo Mansion when it was not poor. Roll up your sleeves to help your son earn money.

The gold and stone antiques he is good at are very useful in this prosperous age. A few times ago, he bought good things and gave them to the officials of the household department.As soon as the left servant of the household department fell, everyone recommended Ning Shan together. Jia She thought it was due to Gu Dong, so he encouraged himself to persevere.

Ning Shan doesn't pay much attention to these things, no matter how old they are, they are not as old as him. In this world, things from before the Sui Dynasty can't be replaced at all, and he doesn't care much about things from later on.The Zhuli Dynasty respected Confucianism, the Shuimu Dynasty was prosperous and extravagant, and even the two dynasties were foreigners who lived in the Central Plains, and all the utensils were furnished with the roughness outside the customs. Foreigners have a natural hostility, so they don't like it either.But the value of these things cannot be denied. With Jia She's sharp eyes, the Ning family has accumulated a lot of gold and stone antiques in the past few months. Whether they are sold or given away, they are very respectable.

Ning Shan thinks that if Jia She can find something he is good at and spend more time on it, it will save him from thinking about how to step on the second room and take revenge on Jia Zheng all day long. On the stage, so he is very supportive of joining the world of gold and stone antiques.Jia Amnesty was encouraged to pay more attention to him, and he became famous not long after. Although the real rich and powerful families did not look down on his reputation, the middle class believed in his vision very much. Posts of Jia Amnesty participating in their gatherings are increasing day by day.

When there is no need to go to court, Jia She usually goes alone or invites two or three people to shop for antiques. If he goes by himself, most of the things he gets are handed over to Ning Shan. If Ning Shan likes it, she can keep it. Enjoy it by yourself, if you don't like it, you will probably send the housekeeper to sell it, and exchange it for the high-yielding farms in the south. Now looking up at the peaceful and prosperous world, the four seas and borders are not peaceful. Ning Shan is still ambitious. If you want to fight on the battlefield again, how can you have no food in hand.He doesn't think that these officials can work hard and not steal their salaries. Even for himself, he has to accumulate food.

As for when Jia She invited people to go with them, most of them were people of the same kind, or they got along well, or they relied on Jia She's good eyesight to help them choose good objects. Although this kind of communication doesn't make much money, it can make a lot of contacts.The Ning family has been in the frontier for a long time. Although the prestige in the army is high, there are confidants who belong to the soldiers, but they are not of great use in Beijing. Jia She can help win some useful people, even if he can get some news in time, it will be great for Ning Shan. Said to be very useful.The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. The food and grass can refer to the real military salary, or it can refer to the information before the army. Ning Shan attaches great importance to the news, even if it is a trail.For example, the news of the concubine's visiting relatives last time was heard from the old man left behind by the Ning family through the internal supervisor who left the palace for the elderly. Ning Shan immediately ordered people to dig out all the civil and stone beams in the other party's shop in her own village for preparation. Then, I bought a batch urgently, and now I really made a lot of money.

In addition to the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing, there are several other houses that have concubines. This time, they are competing to build another courtyard, and they are busy picking up their own mother-in-law to visit relatives. It has been a long time since there has been such a large-scale construction in Beijing. Except for the huge shop, all There is no stock, so the price is increasing day by day, but the supply is still in short supply.Ning Shan found an opportunity to make a lot of money by herself, and was also paying attention to whether other well-informed people made a profit from it, but unexpectedly, the real big money was taken by the emperor. There are many family backgrounds, and a large amount of civil engineering and stone work prepared by the Ministry of Industry has been used on this, and a large sum of money has been made.If Jia Zheng hadn't been suspended and returned home, he might have gotten a lot of benefits this time around.It's a pity that the money was collected into the private treasury by the cheapskate emperor, but not into the national treasury, otherwise he wouldn't have valued Ning Shan's credit for recovering the arrears so much.

Today, most of the families who want to invite relatives have already broken ground, but Jia's family is still struggling.Jia Shi's family and the second room forced the eldest room to take money to repair the yard. Wang Xifeng was very enthusiastic when he got off the boat early in the morning, but Jia Lian refused to be taken advantage of. He just killed himself because he had no money. Wang Xifeng controlled all his private houses and took everything. If he didn't come out, Jia Amnesty wisely reduced the number of times he went back to the mansion, even if Jia Shishi ordered someone to come to him, he would only go back once four or five times.

Originally, the East Mansion, that is, the Ningguo Mansion, was quite supportive of Jia Shi's merging the second house, and even prepared to contribute to the land, but unexpectedly, the big house, who was also a member of the Rongguo Mansion, was so retarded, and he didn't know it for a while. Which side is better to stand on.It stands to reason that they also want to take advantage of the concubine's relatives to have a good time. It is best to please the emperor and get a half-job. Jia Zhen would rather pay 500 taels to her son Jia in order to look good at her daughter-in-law's funeral Rong donated the vain title of Captain Long, but he didn't know that he didn't just take it because he couldn't get a real one.Only one inner eunuch can sell an official, and the favored concubine should be able to give more.

But before the Rongguo Mansion surveyed the terrain, the concubine Jia in the palace fell into a noble person, and the Ningguo Mansion immediately became less prosperous.In Jia Zhen's view, this is proof that Jia Yuanchun is not favored. If he is really favored, he should be able to get back all the Lin family's floating wealth, instead of being demoted three levels in a row because of this.Later, when even Jia Zheng was reprimanded and ordered to dismiss him, Jia Zhen became even more indifferent. He already believed that Jia Yuanchun was of no help to his family, so not only refused to pay a penny, but even The garden that was originally agreed to be contributed was not given.

Originally, Jia Zheng and a group of Qing guests tossed and tossed for several days before they agreed to go from the east to the north through the garden in Ningguo Mansion.Now that the Ningguo Mansion is unwilling to dedicate the garden, it is impossible to draw a picture of the promising terrain, and if the blueprint cannot be produced, it will be even more impossible to construct.Seeing Concubine Wu, Guiren Zhou, and so on, other courtyards in the family sprang up one after another, Jia Zheng got angry in a hurry.He was still counting on his daughter to get back his official position, but now he can't even build a provincial house, where can he find another opportunity?

Jia Shishi became furious, and sent five or six groups of servants to invite Jia Amnesty, and finally even the housekeeper Lai Da came in person, Jia Amnesty reluctantly put down the treasure in his hand, and went back slowly a trip.

In order to get together the eldest family and his family, Jia Shishi naturally chose a holiday that neither Jia Amnesty nor Jia Lian could shirk.Rongguo Mansion was the only one that refused to be ashamed when the powerful Marquis came to visit. Jia Zhen got the news from Jia Lian early in the morning and blocked Ningrong Street to invite Ning Shan to the mansion. The reason was to thank him for entertaining her younger sister Xichun at home.This girl was born in Ningguo Mansion and she didn't have a good pregnancy. She may not remember it once in a few years, so she will pick it up when it is useful.Ning Shan knew that the Rongguo Mansion was still making troubles about the family-speaking garden, and guessed that they might force Xiao Jia Wang to embezzle his mother Ning's dowry if they lost the Lin family's money, so she also paid some attention to this matter.He doesn't want his mother's dowry to be spent in this kind of place. If Jia Lian can't control his wife this time, Ning Shan has to gather everything back even if she steps forward herself. Jia's family can't just take the trouble like this go.Ning Shan thought that Jia Zhen was well-informed, so she agreed.

Jia Zhen and her son Jia Rong escorted Ning Shan back to the mansion, but were urged several times by the people sent by Jia Shishi on the way. The old matriarch, dare not be perfunctory.Therefore, he ordered his son to be with him, and rushed to Rongguo Mansion to participate in the tripartite talks.

These three parties are naturally Jia Shi's family and the second family's family, and they tried their best to repair a yard for Jia Yuanchun to visit his relatives.

Apart from the thief Wang Xifeng, Dafang's family is naturally unwilling to contribute money or effort, but this side is weak, Mrs. Xing can't talk, and Yingchun and Jia Cong are not counted.Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian's father and son fought against each other with three or four sharp mouths, so naturally they were very upset.Expect a third party to stand by them and help.

The third party is Jia Zhen's voice, as long as Jia Jing doesn't come, he has the final say in Ningguo Mansion.Jia Zhen played well with Jia Lian on weekdays, and was closer to Jia She than to Jia Zheng, but now seeing that both Jia Lian and Jia She had real positions as officials in the court, and he was left alone as a poor man, Jia Zhen felt in her heart It was extremely awkward, and even a little resentful that the father and son didn't pull him out.For a moment, I was not sure which side I was going to stand on?He thought in his heart that it would be best to choose a direction that not only vented his anger but also gained benefits, but there were so many things that he wanted in the world, Jia Zhen was hesitant because of this.
