Jia She

Jia Lian has doubts. There is a rule in this court that merchants cannot enter the court for three generations.It means that once you embark on the road of doing business, the next three generations will not be able to be officials.If it is the family of Zhongming Dingshi, you must be cautious when making such a decision. The big family is not short of food and clothing. Even if you don't have the ability to be named on the gold list, you have to leave a way for your descendants.Unless it is a family of merchants who started their business, no one would make the decision to open a shop to make money.

This kind of thing really can't be agreed in one go, although Dafang really doesn't have the talent for learning, so it's not okay to give up on himself, "Father, do you want to show your face? How can grandma explain it?"

"I'm not a big girl with yellow flowers, what can I avoid?"

It can be seen from what he said that he didn't understand, Jia Lian thought about it, and said the rules of the dynasty and his grandmother's preferences.

"Lian'er, what do you mean, being a businessman will involve your descendants?"

"That's right." Jia Lian nodded.

Jia She sighed and said: "I look at your face, your forehead is high and wide, your nose is full of flesh, and your fields and palaces are also very plump... This means that you are born with the qualifications to do business. Wealth is prosperous, you can earn and keep it If you don’t do business, don’t you bury yourself?”

...This face is really a sweet burden.

Even if he was born in a wealthy family like Rongguo Mansion, it is impossible to eat and drink at home all his life.Although the rule of this dynasty is that the eldest son inherits the title, in fact, the father has no right to speak in the family.Does he really have good fortune?Or did his father say that deliberately, just to pull him out of the gorgeous cage of Rongguo Mansion?Jia Lian raised his head, looked directly at Jia She, and said, "Is there really no other choice?"

"You can also leave behind your old father who knows your destiny at a young age and go to prosperity by yourself, Lianer, don't worry, no matter what choice you make, your father will not blame you." Clearly only in his early forties, he said that he knew his destiny at a young age , this compassionate expression, this tolerant words... Jia Amnesty is going to carry out the influence to the end.The fate of the cheap son also has ups and downs. It is because he chose the wrong path, and his wife's life is hard. How can he hold her down if he is stuck at home all day and has no future?Jia Amnesty thought for a while, and then said, "It's fine if you don't want to be labeled as a businessman. Let's improve the way we operate and follow the path of Baimeilou."

Jia Lian's brain was not enough anymore, he blinked, "Baimeilou's... way, is it to set up a brothel and use physiognomy as an additional business?" He didn't notice how stiff the expression on Jia Amnesty's face was, and suddenly After a pause, he added, "Adding new things to the prosperous Bieyuan-style brothel nowadays, just like father, you are very good at reading palmistry, character reading, divination... Maybe it will be more difficult at first, as long as the guests come , he can’t run away, and he will come to the other hall to patronize when he encounters anything that doesn’t go his way. However, it’s really better to tell fortunes in a brothel than to open a shop? Wouldn’t it be worse if it was spread?”

"Lian'er, you are indeed a born businessman, but that's not what I mean." Jia Amnesty had a black line on his forehead. He simply wanted to promote metaphysics, and he didn't want to help expand the brothel business in the capital at all.It's not worth spending so much money on prostitutes. If you give this money to him, I don't know how many disasters can be resolved.

The world has changed, and the fortune-telling business is not easy to do.

"The meaning of being a father is to find another museum and wait for the benefactor who needs advice to come to the door."

"How to collect money?"

Jia Amnesty is more concerned with fortune-telling itself, while Jia Lian never leaves gold and silver in his three words.He thought about it and couldn't understand it, so he had to wait for Jia She to explain.The Elder Master no longer plays tricks, and directly said: "Make a gentleman's house, and make friends with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If the other party is superior, we will send him a comment. If he loses, we will charge ten copper coins for hard work. Think For fortune-tellers, they will evaluate their literary realm according to how much they lost, and pay different amounts of gold and silver." Jia She just gave an example at random, and if he took this route, he would not be labeled as a businessman.

If you win, you drink tea for free, and if you lose, you only receive ten copper coins. Who can say that this is for making money?

It is obvious that I want to make friends with scholars all over the world, which is interesting.

Having said that, Jia Lian was a little moved, "This proposal is indeed very good, I'm afraid it won't make money."

Jia Amnesty glanced at the cheap son, "Money, money, money, you only think about these things outside of your body, can you have a higher level of thought! Besides, if you think that your father is capable of counting all kinds of spirits, you are afraid that you won't be able to get business? You said yes Gentleman's other courtyard, if you want to ask for the proverbs, you have to pass the test, and asking for help is absolutely not allowed."

A good reputation is supported by scholars who come to the door for cultural exchanges and drink tea for free.

Money has to be delivered to the door by wealthy businessmen.

Jia Lian does have a business mind, but it still needs to be polished. Now this level is far from enough. The gentleman's house and the free tea and cakes can only be said to be an initial investment, and this money must come from those who heard the news. Get it back from the wealthy businessman who came to tell the fortune.Jia Amnesty wasn't worried about losing money at all, because when he went south, he successfully made friends with the current fourth elder brother, and today one fell into the eyes of the other three.He has figured it out all the way back. It might be risky for someone else to take this path. If he does it, there is more than [-]% chance of success. The elder brothers are living advertisements. With their presence, there is no need to worry about being attracted come.

Jia Lian was scolded, but he still laughed, "Father is a great talent, but my son is in danger."

This is a good point, Jia She nodded: "To be a human being is to be so humble."

With the preliminary plan, it was completed very quickly. That night, Jia Lian wasted in the study. He wrote a plan according to his father Jia She's instruction, and it was only completed at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and he copied it again. After the pages were put away, I went back to my room.As soon as he entered the door, he heard a sarcastic and sharp voice: "Yo, the second master still knows to come back?"

Jia Lian ignored her and asked Ping'er to find someone to fetch water. After washing his face, he was about to go to bed. It was dawn at dawn, so he could still squint for a while.

This attitude almost killed Wang Xifeng. She patted her chest and said, "What's the matter with you? If you get involved with your father-in-law, you won't take others seriously, right? How can I explain to my aunt like you! If you treat that What can an old man do if he is offended by his words and actions? Can't he survive?" Wang Xifeng said a lot like a firecracker, and Jia Lian frowned when he heard it. He retorted: "Father is not you. As expected."

No, this completely angered Wang Xifeng.

"You think I don't know where my father-in-law took you yesterday! It's okay to go to the brothel by yourself, and I'm not ashamed to take my son there! He..." Jia Lian slapped her backhand, "Shut up! What are you doing? I can't tolerate you, a woman in the inner house, and if you disrespect your father again, you should go kneel in the ancestral hall and don't come in the eyes of the Lord."

Jia Lian used to be a wimp, but he was forced to do nothing, and he had complaints in his heart.

No one wants to be crushed by the mother-in-law.

It’s different in the past.

Father is capable, able to make friends with powerful people, and intends to mention him, this is an opportunity that Jia Lian could not have dreamed of, and he would still be shy to please Mrs. Wang, the second wife, and beg her to do a job that is not painful?

Who in the Rongguo Mansion didn't know that the old man had a sum of money in his hand, which was given to him by the old ancestor before his death.The old ancestor mentioned here is Xu Shi, the mother-in-law of the deceased Rong Guogong Jia Daishan. Jia She was raised by her since she was a child. The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is very good. The key to Jia Amnesty was given to him to inherit.

Mrs. Xu is a real lady of every family. During the Shunzhi Dynasty, the wife of the Duke and Duchess who was all over the capital, not to mention the dowry, she received a lot of rewards from the palace, and there are also congratulatory gifts on her birthday every year... As long as you think that so much wealth is in the In the hands of his father, Jia Lian was full of fighting spirit. He already had the capital to buy and repair the other courtyard. He still needed to buy some good tea sets, tea leaves and things needed to meet friends in literature.

For example, there is a large collection of books, which can be read at will and cannot be borrowed.

Scrolls, pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

Piano and chess.

Jia Lian's mind was full of these things, and he didn't want to hear Wang Xifeng's words about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds. If his own father was capable, who would ask the second room's wife who pretended to be merciful?Wang Xifeng was slapped in the face and stopped making trouble. She wiped her tears and said, "It's all for your own good and for this family. Since the second master doesn't like to hear it, I won't talk about it. Don't ask me to ask my aunt again. Father-in-law, go." Wang Xifeng felt uncomfortable for Jia Lian like this, he wanted to explain that the other courtyard has not been built yet, so it's always bad to say it in advance, lest something unexpected will happen.

Don't talk if you don't know clearly, when the other courtyard is built, she will know how great things she has done, Jia Lian washed her face, curled up on the couch and fell asleep.

There is friction in the first room of Rongguo Mansion, and the second room is even more uneasy.

Jia Amnesty's words were like sharp knives and spears in the hearts of Jia Baoyu's maids. Even Qingwen and Xiren were avoiding intimate contact with Jia Baoyu, not to mention the bottom line.Speaking of which, there was nothing wrong with what they did. Maids are just serving the daily life, and they are not brothel girls, so they have no reason to behave like they are making out with their master.

They didn't embarrass Jia Baoyu directly, but gradually alienated him gradually. He naturally felt Jia Baoyu's most delicate feelings and told Daiyu several times.

"The elder sisters and younger sisters in the family used to like to get together and play together, why are they so busy these days?"

Lin Daiyu kept a distance of three statures from him, and replied, "All slaves are like this, they only get money if they know how to do things."

"Sister Lin, don't say that about them, they are all good sisters who have accompanied me since childhood, not slaves."

... Who sells themselves into the house to serve others, what is it if it is not a slave?Lin Daiyu thought for a while and said, "My father is the censor of Yangzhou salt inspector, so I don't have to be ashamed. I can't call them the same as the slaves. If you call them sister, just call me Miss Lin."

Jia Baoyu looked at Daiyu in disbelief, trying to see a different look on her face, but he was disappointed: "My daughter's family is made of water, so she needs to be taken good care of. You are so vicious!" Jia Baoyu's eyes were red, and he looked very sad and angry, and he said, "Whatever he is, the censor, I feel that the smell of this official name is unbearable."

Before Jia Baoyu uttered the last sentence, Lin Daiyu also hesitated, whether she should say something nice to fool her, after all, she was living under someone else's fence, and she knew the status of Brother Bao in the family.

He shouldn't have insulted his father.

What the uncle said was indeed correct, Jia Baoyu is a passionate seed who harms others and himself.Daiyu didn't want to disappoint her father's wish to send him on his back, but this kind of thing cannot be compromised, even if she lost her mother, she is still a serious official lady, how can she treat herself like a maid who serves others?

The smile on Lin Daiyu's face was put away, she pursed her lips, and said: "My father was born in Tanhualang, a third-rank official handpicked by Lord Long Live, please be more polite to Second Lord Bao, so that he will not tire his parents by insulting others."
