[Red Mansion] Father and Son Crossover
Chapter 8
Even the box with the hairpin, plus those blueprints, sold for a total of 9 taels and 130 Wen. Compared with Jiao Shibo's golden finger copy, this amount of money is not much, but for some reason, it is obviously not made by himself. Yes, just because I can do it, and I got it by selling the shop so openly, it makes the father and son suddenly feel extraordinarily secure.It was heavy in my arms, as if my heart had fallen into reality.
"Son, don't worry too much about duplicating money in the future. Just do it when you think about it. Don't put all your hopes on it. It's not pleasant to say a word, in case this thing disappears one day What? Is it possible that we are living a life? After all, people still have to rely on themselves to be steadfast. After I go back, I will pick up this craft and grind it a little bit. I think it will definitely be able to make a good one. Then we will be considered You have the foundation of your life. Even if that day comes, you don’t have to be afraid.”
Jiao Yufeng patted the purse in his bosom, for some reason, even though he was surrounded by unfamiliar environments, strange people, and strange times, he was no longer afraid in his heart, and only felt that this day was quite promising.
Can there be no hope? These days, ordinary people can earn one or two taels of silver a month, and they can live quite comfortably these days. But they can get close to ten taels once they come out. This is almost catching up with small rich households. That's enough in modern society.
If Jiao Yufeng was so emotional and so unwilling to make progress, in the past, Jiao Shibo would have jumped in a hurry early in the morning. You are stupid if you don't take such a shortcut.But today, following his father through such a journey, he has lost all such thoughts.
It's not that he has the same sentiments as his father, um, it can't be said that, earning so much money with his own hands, the sense of accomplishment is still good, but what surprised him even more was that he thought of a good way to make money, that is Sell drawings.Two taels of silver a piece, if it is more complicated and prettier, won't it be more valuable?Maybe five taels?Twelve taels?If this is the case, doesn't it mean that as long as he sells more design drawings, he can sell the house in the capital in minutes?Open a shop?Becoming a rich man?
You said he is not a design major?What's the matter?Not to mention, based on the countless pictures he has seen in later generations, and his experience in countless costumes, movies and TV dramas, it should not be difficult to get some jewelry patterns just like cats and tigers.Even if this doesn't work, it will always be possible to make small furniture with a different style and a little new idea.Although he didn't have much money in the past, he didn't miss creative home furnishing.
In this way, even if I really don't rely on the method of copying silver, I don't think this day will be sad.That being the case, he naturally has no intention of rebutting to his father, as long as he does not delay his earning money, being a filial son or something is quite attractive.So Jiao Shibo nodded his head very sensiblely and said:
"I understand a skill by myself, and I listen to you. I will follow suit in the future. After the carpenter has learned it, I will build a blacksmith shop and use my cold weapon skills to make a fortune. "
That's a good idea, Jiao Yufeng nodded straightly, and couldn't help thinking about it. When his son chose the Department of History and specialized in cold weapons, the people around kept shouting about being unpopular and finding employment difficult.But in fact, there is nothing in this world that cannot be used. Look, it will come in handy when time travels. Among other things, this blacksmith shop is very interesting.
"That's right, carpenters, blacksmiths, these two, as long as it doesn't come to the era of hot weapons and industrialization, you can have food everywhere. Let me tell you..."
I just echoed a few words, but I didn't think that it seemed to trigger Jiao Yufeng's addiction to talking, and even had a good discussion with his son about the future plan, which made Jiao Shibo a little headache, and now he is talking about this time?Look, this bullock cart is heading west, shouldn't you tell me what you're going to do next?Jiao Shibo hurriedly stopped his father's long-winded speech, complaining that such a small amount of money made his father excited, a little unsteady, and immediately changed the subject, and began to ask him about other things.
"By the way, Dad, we should go to Ningguo Mansion now, Jiao Da, where does Grandpa live? In the mansion? Or outside?"
When Jiao Shibo asked Jiao Yufeng, Jiao Yufeng also discovered that he was subconsciously heading towards Ningguo Mansion without knowing it, and couldn't help but tremble. Sure enough, there are some side effects of time travel, such as this habit. The problem is a big one. If it wasn't for the original body's deep memory, how could he be able to drive the bullock cart freely without looking at the road?How to automatically find the way?Or are there many such habits?In that case, he should pay more attention. Before these habits are completely integrated into his own life, he must prevent them from affecting their lives because of these habits.
Of course, he wouldn't tell his son about such thoughts, even though his son's mental age is old enough, the father always habitually picks up all possible dangerous burdens.So he was stupefied for just a moment, then nodded with a normal face, and began to tell his son about the Rongning Second Mansion in Yuanshen's memory.
"Needless to say, it's naturally outside. Although this mansion is big, there are many messy places for big families, such as ancestral halls, flower halls, guest rooms, and gardens. In this way, how can there be so many? Can the house accommodate all the servants? There are one or two hundred servants in a mansion, plus their family members, the total number is no less than four or five hundred. Generally speaking, except for the personal servants who live with the master, there are doorkeepers everywhere. There is a place for guards, and the rest will live behind the mansion. There is a long stretch behind the mansion, and there are two streets that belong to the place where the servants of the Rongning Second Mansion gather, and there is a large area that belongs to the attached clansman's house. The place is quite big. Your grandpa is over there, and there is a small courtyard. Because it is a soldier who fought with him in the early years, it is very close to the mansion, almost on the side of the tribe. From the position , very good..."
The location is really good. It is only about a hundred meters from the street at the back door of Ningguo Mansion, and it is less than 50 meters into a small alley. Next to a big locust tree is Jiao Da's house.Just after walking to the door, I ran into Jiao Da's daughter-in-law who was going to buy vegetables. She immediately greeted Jiao Yufeng and Jiao Shibo in surprise.
"Oh, it's the second younger brother who is here, yo, even the eldest son is here. This is really a rare visitor. The old man hasn't seen the eldest son for a long time, and he mentioned it a few days ago. Hurry up and enter the house. His father , his father, come out quickly, your brother is here..."
This burst of bluffing not only attracted people in the house, but even the neighbors were alarmed. Many people poked their heads out of the doorway, wanting to watch the excitement, waiting to see that they were familiar people, and they were all shocked. Losing interest, he retracted after saying hello.
But it was just like this that made Jiao Shibo realize for the first time that the relationship between his family and Ningguo Mansion is not far away. Among other things, the familiarity of the servants who belonged to Ningguo Mansion around here is enough to show that they must be in the past. They come and go frequently.
And the bamboo piece in the hand of the person who came out from the house, who should be Jiao Yufeng's cousin, let Jiao Shibo know another piece of information, that is, apart from Jiao Da, it is estimated that there is no one else in the old Jiao family. On business in Ningguo Mansion.
That's right, after all, they are personal soldiers, not servants of the world. When servants with death contracts are available, and they still can't be used, how can there be a chance for someone from their family to go to work to earn money?Not to mention the ostracism among people, but if there is a real chance, I am afraid that those masters will trust those servants more.This also solidifies why Jiao Da dared to scold even the master later, because there were no servants in the two houses who could have anything to do with Jiao Da.
From the point of view of the subordinate circles of Rongning and Ningfu, it may be that after Jia Daihua's death, Jiao Dazai was not reused, but for Jiao Yufeng and his son, it was really a relief, there was only one feeling : It's really great. In the future, the old Jia's family will not have to buy relatives when they ransack their homes.
Of course, such emotions cannot be said, and even some envy should be expressed. For example, Jiao Yufeng is doing very well now.
"Isn't uncle at home? Could it be that he's on a job again?...at such an age, the Duke of Jia's family still thinks so highly of him. Uncle has the ability..."
I just flattered such a beautiful sentence here, and the person has not sat down yet, and there is another knock on the door outside, well, Jiao Da is back.
"The second child is here."
By the way, let me just say that although Jiao Yufeng is called Jiao Dalang in the village, it is because he is his father's only son.But here at Jiao University, as an uncle, he is ranked according to Jiao Yufeng's original father's generation, so unfortunately, Jiao Yufeng became the second child. . .This title is really ridiculous. Anyway, Jiao Yufeng's teeth are a little sour, and by the way, he has to stare at his son who is holding back his laughter.
"Uncle is back."
"Ah, you haven't been to the city for a while, oh, and you're bringing your big baby with you, which is rare. Could something be wrong?"
In the past, most of them went to the city to find some work, because the children were young, and they were afraid that they would be too busy to take care of them, and would be abducted by kidnappers or something. Jiao Yufeng seldom brought the children here, and always dragged the neighbors to take care of them.Now that the fierce father and son came together, it is no wonder that Jiao Da asked in doubt.
Seeing this, he knew that it was the old man who cared about them. Jiao Yufeng had no intention of hiding anything. He hurriedly talked about his going to the city to sell wooden hairpins and other things. Of course, he didn't go into details about how much money he got. Now that I have learned the craft of carpentry, I can do it well.
For this, Jiao Da was obviously very happy, because of the years of fighting, his rough and old face showed a bit of a smile, and there were several more wrinkles, and the big slap like a cattail fan was on Jiao Yufeng's shoulder. I slapped it hard several times, and said contentedly:
"Okay, that's right, you still need to know the skills to live a good life. In the past, I still thought that the world is peaceful now, and there are few frontier wars. Even if you ask someone to send you to eat military food, it's not worthwhile. There is no chance. Of course, I am also reluctant to let you suffer again. But I am a little worried about how to live in the future. Now I can still rely on the blessings of the Jia family to protect you. But If one day I leave, what are you going to do? Now that you brothers all know how to be strong and how to learn skills, then I can feel at ease even if I close my eyes in the future."
Speaking of this topic, Jiao Yufeng couldn't help but feel a little moved.Why did Jiao Da become a soldier, why did he become an old servant of the Jia family, so loyal, no matter which book has said this, and no one has written about it.It always feels like that's the way it should be.But is that really the way it should be?
The reason for the poor people to become soldiers is just that. When the war was just pacified and the country was just established, the people’s life was hard. Jiao Da saw that his family couldn’t survive, so he went to the frontier to fight for a meal. Decide.
Not to mention the near death in the war, even if you come back, as long as you can't make it to the top, you can really feed the whole family and benefit the whole family.Jiao Da saw this, so relying on his loyalty, relying on saving Jia Daihua, he climbed up to such a family of honor, so that the entire Jiao family would not be depopulated, cut off the incense, and had support from then on.In this capital where honors are everywhere and rich and powerful are rampant, the members of the Jiao family will not have the slightest confidence to survive.From this point of view, Jiao Da is really not easy, and the whole Jiao family should remember his efforts.It's no wonder that he has such deep affection for the Jia family, because fundamentally speaking, the Jia family is the key to their old Jiao's family's survival until now.
Facing such an elder, Jiao Yufeng suddenly felt that nothing could be too good for him, but for the Jia family. . .In the case of knowing the ending, doing nothing seems a bit too much.Jiao Yufeng was tangled up in his heart.
"Son, don't worry too much about duplicating money in the future. Just do it when you think about it. Don't put all your hopes on it. It's not pleasant to say a word, in case this thing disappears one day What? Is it possible that we are living a life? After all, people still have to rely on themselves to be steadfast.

In this way, even if I really don't rely on the method of copying silver, I don't think this day will be sad.That being the case, he naturally has no intention of rebutting to his father, as long as he does not delay his earning money, being a filial son or something is quite attractive.So Jiao Shibo nodded his head very sensiblely and said:
