Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Wu Qiumao told the master about the accountant's revenge for his daughter and the assassination of Fatty Wang San.

"Sure enough, as the master said, evil people have evil rewards, and Fatty Wang San really deserves it! It's just that the accountant is pitiful. He should pay for his life, but now he has become a murderer."

Yan Liang pondered for a moment before saying, "This is his choice."

Wu Qiumao nodded regretfully, and turned to ask the master: "Now Fatty Wang San is dead, and the Zhuangyuan building has become a mess. Master, what should we do with our shop?"

"You paste this piece of paper on the door of Guangyuan Building, and if any chef from Zhuangyuan Building applies for it, they will all agree." Yan Liang handed Wu Qiumao the employment notice he had written earlier.

Wu Qiumao immediately complied.This is really strange, not long after he posted the notice, the chef from the Zhuangyuan Building came to ask.In the afternoon, five cooks came in together through the back door of Guangyuan Building and begged Wu Qiumao to take them in.Wu Qiumao naturally agreed, and also paid them three taels of silver in advance according to the master's instructions.The cooks were all grateful, and sighed that the shopkeeper of Guangyuan Building is better.

Wu Qiumao was quite surprised at the development of this matter at first, but when he was walking back, he heard that many people on Xianghe Street were attacking Fatty Wang San.Among them, some people mentioned Guangyuan Building. It is well known that Guangyuan Building has been squeezed out by Fatty Wang San, and the bad rumors about Guangyuan Building that were spread in the capital at the beginning have all been transferred now. The direction of the wind has always been said to be Fatty Wang San's intentional frame.

So with the death of Fatty Wang San, the reputation of Guangyuan Building has increased instead.

Now almost all the people in the city are criticizing Fatty Wang San, so the people in the Zhuangyuan building are naturally in a state of laxity.In addition, at this time, the orphans and widows of the Wang family were unable to take charge of the overall situation, and many cooks in the building were originally under the influence of Fatty Wang San, so they stayed in the Zhuangyuan Building to work.

As a result, the business of Zhuangyuan Building plummeted, and there was a tendency for trees to fall and monkeys to disperse.

In Guangyuan building, more and more good cooks came to apply.Wu Qiumao kept them all, registered all the names in the register, and handed them over to the master.

A few days before the official opening of Guangyuan Building, Yan Liang reorganized the personnel in the building, and also made some suggestions for the new dishes developed by the cooks.After all, he is a person who has lived a rich life, and he still has unique insights in eating.

Based on this, the chefs improved their own dishes, and the taste was unanimously approved by everyone.

The chefs were very happy, grateful for the sharp advice from the knowledgeable new shopkeeper, and even more respected his kind demeanor.In the Zhuangyuan Building, Fatty Wang San always beat and scolded them. They wanted to leave but dared not. They lived under depression every day. Now they are really much more relaxed, and they can think about new things in a happy mood every day. dish.

On the ninth day of September, Guangyuan Building officially opened.

On the opening day, Guangyuan Building was full of guests and business was booming.It didn't take long for Guangyuanlou's new dishes to become famous and become a major feature of restaurants in the capital.

It turned out that Fatty Wang San had several diehard loyalists who took the opportunity to take revenge on Guangyuanlou.Yan Liang didn't do anything else, only revealing his true identity as the master of Ningfu.After all, the name of the Duke's Mansion is still there, and this official prestige is enough to scare those little guys.Sure enough, they didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

After the business of Guangyuan Building stabilized, Yan Liang selected one of the most capable shopkeepers from among the many house slaves in the management shop of Ningfu to manage Guangyuan Building on his behalf.

Now the profit of Guangyuan Building is enough to support the normal expenses of Ningguo Mansion.As for other industries in the Ning Mansion, the rest of the wealth can be saved as a reserve.

Yan Liang turned his attention to Jia Zhen after solving the problem of blind Ning's financial fingers.During these days, he has been busy with the affairs of Guangyuan Building, and he has not forgotten to check Jia Zhen's civil and military studies at any time.

When Jia Zhen first started studying with her husband, she was really uncomfortable. Her head hurt when she saw the words, and then she had to learn martial arts and stride, and finally her whole body hurt.

The most difficult thing is to continue to persist until the seventh and eighth day... After more than [-] days, Jia Zhen's pain gradually eased, and she could gradually accept this kind of life every day.

Yan Liang looked through Jia Zhen's homework, and saw that he hadn't memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, so he was a little dissatisfied.

"Sir, if you don't do your best, I'll give you another one next month."

"Father, he taught me very well. It's because my son is useless, his brain is not working well, and he always can't remember." Jia Zhen argued.

Yan Liang threw his hands into Jia Zhen's arms, and said coldly, "I'll give you three days. If you still fail next time, that gentleman who has been favored by you may not be able to take care of you in the future."

Jia Zhen's expression changed in embarrassment, and she lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, "So you already know."

"Yes, I know! I am relieved to hear that you bribed him with the scraps of money you saved so easily." Yan Liang smiled ironically.

Jia Zhen apologized embarrassingly, but hurriedly said that she didn't dare.In order to avoid being mistreated by Mr. Xin, he decided to read by candlelight tonight.

When Jia Rong came back from get out of class, he and Jia Qiang came over to say hello, talking and laughing.When they met Jia Zhen, they hurriedly saluted.

Jia Zhen gave her son a hard look, but looked at Jia Qiang with a smile on her face, and asked him how he went to school and how he lived in Rongfu.Jia Qiang pursed her lips, nodded and said it was all right.

Yan Liang coughed.Only then did Jia Zhen shut up and hurriedly leave.

After Jia Rong greeted Yan Liang happily, she told him what she had learned in school recently.If there is something missing, Jia Qiang will add it on the side.

Yan Liang smiled, "Say a few words and I'll listen."

"The so-called self-cultivation is about rectifying one's mind, if the body feels angry, it will not be straightened... This is called self-cultivation is about rectifying one's heart." Jia Rong said crisply.

Yan Liang: "Do you understand the meaning of these words?"

Jia Rong nodded, "It's just that we need to have a correct mind when doing things."

"It's not just about doing things with a correct mind, but also when making friends and treating others." Yan Liang glanced at Jia Qiang, and said to Jia Rong, "You are brothers and friends, and it's serious to help each other and benefit together. You can play when you have time, but you can't play Overfire, you know?"

Jia Rong nodded.

"Go, I'll ask someone to prepare the kidney bean cake from Guangyuan Building for you."

When the two children heard this, they were very happy, thanked Yan Liang happily, and ran to the room to find something to eat.

Wu Qiumao couldn't help laughing when he saw this, "The master used food to lure them to learn, and this trick of memorizing books really works."

Yan Liang rubbed his chin, pondered for a while, and asked Wu Qiumao, "Do you think Rong'er has changed?"

"He is more cheerful than before, loves to laugh more, and loves to learn more. And he is more and more polite, knowing how to advance and retreat. I heard that he met people outside, and he is very decent and decent."

Yan Liang lowered his eyes and fiddled with the empty teacup in his hand, frowning, "I'm afraid he's just pretending, his heart is not clean at all."

Yan Liang originally thought that the evil on this little evil would be easy to get rid of. After all, he was a child, so it should be easy to straighten it if it grows crooked.I didn't expect it to be so time-consuming, and it didn't work for so long.

"From tomorrow, you send someone to watch Jia Rong, and I want to know all his actions for a day."
