Rice Fields in the Red Chamber
Chapter 48
Lin Mo bowed his head and thought for a while, and felt that the idea that came up by chance just now seemed feasible.
Tu Qian didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he just asked, "What did Ah Mo think of?"
Lin Mo nodded, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."
At this moment, Lin Mo just thought of the second master Bao of the Jia family. Apart from not liking reading, he loved being around girls the most. At the same time, he was also a self-taught cosmetics maker.
If we can cooperate with this person, maybe many cosmetics in future generations can also be reproduced in this time and space?
Although "Youlan House" is very famous in the capital, the rouge powder and other things sold in it are all sent from Jiangnan by Lin Mo. The most fashionable ones are even his fleet from overseas countries The selected cosmetics that are suitable for the skin of Dajin people, especially those perfumes and essential oils, are almost the only ones in Dajin, and they can be regarded as leading the makeup trend of women in the capital.
It's just that Lin Mo is always very dissatisfied. When it comes to cosmetics, the cosmetics of this era are naturally not as complete as the cosmetics of later generations that are almost comparable to plastic surgery.
Lin Mo wanted to find out all the types of cosmetics one by one, but he really knew six things about cosmetics - he didn't know anything about it!
After all, at that time, he always thought that he was a straight man of steel, and always dismissed the so-called cosmetics. Now it is really difficult for him to get this thing out.
However, with Jia Baoyu, maybe things will take a turn for the better?
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't sit still. He moved his body, hesitating whether to go to the private room next door, hook up with Jia Baoyu, and make Jia Baoyu his main force in cosmetics research and development?
At worst, Jia Baoyu could sell him his rouge formula or something.
Lin Mo was still struggling, and when he looked up, he saw Tu Qian's eyes full of concern. Then he remembered that he was no longer the helpless heir whose biological mother died early, his biological father didn't like him, and was abandoned by his biological father.
Now he is also a person who is loved by others.
Based on the principle of discussing things, Lin Mo directly expressed his thoughts just now.
He folded his hands and laid them flat on the table. He tilted his head slightly to the right, and looked at Tu Qian with bright eyes. He couldn't be too obedient, and almost made Prince Tu turn into a wolf and pounce on him.
Who would have thought that a young man who had already reached the crown would still retain such a pure side in front of his lover?
"Well, according to me, your idea is good, but now is not the best time. Not to mention, just looking at the words and deeds of that Jia Zheng and Jia Cun Zhou on weekdays, you know that he will definitely not agree. Let Jia Baoyu do such a nonsense thing! Anyway, the goods of 'You Lanju' can still handle it, so why don't Ah Mo wait a little longer?"
In fact, Lin Mo himself knew all this. With the Jia family's situation, as long as Jia Zheng objected, no matter how much Jia Baoyu liked to tinker with these rouge and gouache, he could only do it secretly.
It has to be said that Tu Qian's words poured Lin Mo's feverish head a glass of ice water that was enough to refresh his mind.
However, listening to what Tuqian said...
"Did you get some great news?"
Tu Qian nodded imperceptibly, moved his lips slightly, and said silently: "The Ministry of Household borrows money."
Lin Mo: ...he forgot about it, the story of the Red Mansion has reached this stage.
He is now serving as the right servant in the Ministry of Accounting, not much different from a salted fish, not to mention counting those treasury bills and IOUs, he has not even figured out where the yamen of the Ministry of Accounting is going to open.
Ordinarily, this matter has nothing to do with him. If it wasn't for the fact that he was adopted by Lin Ruhai as his heir by accident and became the cheap nephew of the Rongguo Mansion, Lin Mo would not have cared about whether the four major families would be killed or not. Copying the house, who let those people do their own crimes?Who can blame?
But now, he couldn't ignore it.
"The treasury is out of money now? Doesn't it seem right? I remember that His Majesty was still saying that the treasury will be full this year, so there will be no money so soon?" In recent years, he has stuffed a lot of money into the treasury and today's private treasury. Money, it is impossible to have no money.
Rolling his eyes, Lin Mo suddenly became a little dazed, "Or is it just a pity before the implementation of a certain matter?" Perhaps this is the truth of the matter.
Tu Qian smiled, "If Ah Mo wants to help the Jia family, Da Fang may be able to save him."
Lin Mo: ... Is the emperor blatantly acquiescing to him to inform the Jia family?
Is this going through the back door...
"Don't feel sorry for them. They are all responsible for their own fault. They are so bold that they get involved in the battle for the throne. If it weren't for them who were behind the scenes, how could Prince Xianyizhong be forced to lose his sense of proportion? Doing the thing of forcing the palace, and finally came to a dead end?"
That Prince Xianyizhong was a person with amazing talents. When he was alive, he took care of Tu Qi and Tu Qian a lot. With him, Tu Qi didn't have the idea of seizing the throne. Cultivate on the road to a virtuous king.
Who would have imagined that for selfish desires, some people would want to use the hands of foreigners to achieve the purpose of forcing the palace to rebel?
The Jia family had a lot of involvement in that incident back then, especially the second bedroom of the Jia family and the Ningguo Mansion, not to mention his imperial brother, even he would not spare these people lightly.
On the other hand, Jia She, because he was the heir personally established by Jia Daishan of the Xianrong State Mansion, he was chosen as the companion of Prince Xianyizhong since he was a child, and the relationship between the two was also very good. In the Jia family, they were suppressed so badly that they could hardly stand up.
If it wasn't for the change of Lin Mo in the middle, Jia Amnesty wouldn't be able to toughen up again until he died.
With Tu Qian's advice, Lin Mo visited Jia Lian the next day while he was taking a bath.
Jia Lian was very convinced of this cheap cousin. As soon as he heard that Lin Mo was coming to visit, he asked someone to prepare tea and snacks early, swept the bed to welcome him, and gave Lin Mo enough attention.
Lin Mo naturally reciprocated.
Not long after the two met, they confirmed the news they heard from Tu Qian.
"What Huai Jin said, is it true?" Jia Lian was already stunned by the news. He was no longer the second master of the dandy Lian who didn't understand anything back then. He was naturally a matter of his own family and life. Extremely caring.
Lin Mo gave him an affirmative answer, "It's absolutely true."
Hearing this, how can Jia Lian sit still?In the Beijing camp, he knows better than others that the Hebu is not short of money. This can be seen from their improving military camp life and daily training level.
The emperor, who is not short of money, wants to use the money owed by the Ministry of Households as a raft. After thinking about it, you can understand that asking the ministers to pay back the money is just an excuse. The main purpose is to clean up their noble families!
Who in the capital city doesn't know that after several generations of honorable families headed by the four kings and eight princes, there are few descendants who have achieved success, but there are countless playboys who only lie on the merits of their ancestors and dream about their lives.
What's terrible is that a vigorous concubine's family visit in the early years almost emptied the families of these people.
These families are now in the same situation as the Rongguo Mansion. They have long since lost their glory in the past, and it is normal to live beyond their means. Let them pay back the money they owe?
Jia Lian was very sure that there would be no more than a handful of people who could take out this money and return it to the household department.
Jia Lian could already imagine that when the order to return the owed money came down, what would they do if they didn't have enough cash?I can only use the antique land deed at home to offset it. The only difference is whether to hand it in on my own initiative, or let the court do it!
Jia Lian shuddered shiveringly, and couldn't care less about anything else, he only confessed to Lin Mo, and then hurriedly strode towards Jia Amnesty's yard.
Lin Mo didn't know what decision the Jia family would make after hearing the news. He waited in Jia Lian's study for nearly an hour, but he couldn't wait for the return of the study owner. Instead, the atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion Suddenly tense up.
Lin Mo knew that his purpose of coming here had been achieved.There is no need to wait here for Jia Lian to come back. After all, such a big incident happened, Jia Lian must not be in the mood to deal with him anymore, and there is no need for him to sit here anymore and hurry back to be serious.
He got up and tidied up the clothes that were a little wrinkled due to sitting for a long time, found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and left Jia Lian a text message, then went back alone.
On the way back to the Lin Mansion, Lin Mo thought about the embarrassing position of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion in that mansion, so he was worried. After returning to Hai Enhou Mansion, he went straight to the backyard to meet Lin Daiyu, and told Lin Daiyu about the matter in detail Know.
"My younger sister also knows what kind of situation Uncle Xi's room is in that mansion. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's an embarrassing existence. I'm afraid that the old lady will not pay attention to what Lian's second cousin said, and instead miss a big deal. That mansion is always my sister's maternal ancestral home, and this relationship cannot be torn apart no matter what. If my sister is free, go to the old matriarch's place to persuade her. The ground is so clean!"
If the big house of the Jia family can be saved this time, even if the Ningrong and Rongfus really end up ransacking the family and exterminating the family in the future, at least there will still be a big house of the Jia family that can allow Daiyu's relatives to come and go, so it won't be so alone.
Daiyu was not unwilling, her brother was right, Rongguo Mansion was her maternal ancestral home, she couldn't sit idly by.
In this era, fame and filial piety are very important. Regardless of whether the Jia family will listen to her or not, Lin Daiyu always has to go on this trip to Rongfu.
Sister Lin, who became more and more straightforward, did what she thought. After Lin Mo left, she wrote a post immediately, and asked Nanny Chen to go to Jia's mansion by herself and handed the post to her.
Tu Qian didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he just asked, "What did Ah Mo think of?"
Lin Mo nodded, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."
At this moment, Lin Mo just thought of the second master Bao of the Jia family. Apart from not liking reading, he loved being around girls the most. At the same time, he was also a self-taught cosmetics maker.
