Jia Huan left first very interestingly, Wang Xifeng and Ping'er also hesitated for a while before leaving, they must go to Mrs. Wang's side to restore their lives.

Only Feng Ziying and Jia Lian remained.

"What's going on?" Feng Ziying frowned.

Jia Lian was very busy during this time.

Duan Xigui is still in charge of the overall situation in Yangzhou, and the Jingshi of Haitong Yinzhuang has not actually been opened, but some businesses cannot be delayed.

For example, the silver collected by the Zhongshu Department is about to be transferred to the household department, but the concession money handed over, the open sea bonds sold, and the income from Dongfan Salt are concentrated in Yangzhou.

It is very troublesome to transport such a large amount of silver back to Jingshi City, and the shares of the clan headed by King Zhongshun on the Jingshi side have already been in place, so the best way is to accept the shares subscribed by the princes and clans in time, and then transfer them to the household account on the spot, and part of it will be transferred to the household treasury.

This work is equivalent to complicated, although Jia Lian also brought back a few helpers from Yangzhou, but this can only do specific things, and Jia Lian has to deal with the shareholders of the Zhongshun King and even the clans and even the northern businessmen.

So in the past ten days, Jia Lian has been almost so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, from site selection to selection, and then to start taking over these shares, Jia Lian doesn't dare to let go.

Such a big matter, it is impossible for the Zhongshun King and their side to ignore it, and naturally they have to send their own people, and the same is true for the Shanshan merchants, although it is dominated by Feng Ziying's side, but it is also the right thing to send a few people as overseers.

But I have to say that a few months in Yangzhou has grown a lot for Jia Lian's training, if it was placed a year ago, Jia Lian would never have the ability to deal with such a big thing, but now Feng Ziying has gone to inspect it several times, Jia Lian has done a good job, and even the Zhongshun Wang, who was not very satisfied with Jia Lian's management before, has given affirmation.

This also made Feng Ziying very emotional, sometimes it was not that this person was not good, but that he was not given the opportunity to grow, like Jia Lian, if he was in Rongguo Mansion all day long, could he get to this point? If there is no polishing of the trip to Yangzhou, can he bear such a big battle?

Of course, this is still the easiest way to collect the shares and transfer part of the silver to the household, for the time being, Haitong Yinzhuang does not have enough manpower to support Yangzhou and Jingshi at the same time, but Jia Lian has really polished it out, showing the ability to be independent.

Looking at Jia Lian's somewhat tired appearance, Feng Ziying could also understand.

I have never been in charge of such a big thing before, even if I have experience in Yangzhou, but after all, there is Duan Xigui taking the lead, and Wang Wenyan's support, so I don't think so, but when I get here, although I am more familiar, I have become a stand-alone person, and I have to make decisions about everything.

Feng Ziying would not ask about such specific matters, and Jia Lian was not willing to ask Feng Ziying about everything, it would be harmful to himself.

There are dozens of people under his hands, some from the clan and Shanxi merchants, some from Yangzhou, and some from Jingshi City Jia Lian went to dig them up by himself, Jia Lian even brought Jia Yun to help, just to control the situation as soon as possible.

"Children play tricks, it's good to pass." Jia Lian was careless, he didn't take this matter to heart at all, his mind was still on Yinzhuang's side, "Ziying, Brother Yun'er, I plan to talk to Xianglian's side, I want this person, the people on my side are seriously insufficient, Yun'er people are loyal and reliable, and they are down-to-earth, I need such a person at hand, let Xianglian find another one over there in Daguanlou." ”

Feng Ziying didn't expect Jia Lian to not take this matter to heart at all, but talked about Haitong Yinzhuang and frowned: "You can just discuss it with Second Brother Liu, what's the matter, you don't plan to go back to Yangzhou, and you are going to make the Jingshi number?" ”

Originally, it was planned to let Duan Xigui be the Jingshi, but there were also several considerations, first, Duan Xigui was more experienced, second, he was still a little worried about Jia Lian, and third, Jia Lian himself was not very willing to stay in Jingshi, but now it seems that Jia Lian's performance is gradually improving.

He is more familiar with all aspects of the situation on the side of the Jingshi, such as poaching a few fellow shopkeepers, which is easy to capture, and in addition, he can get along with the businessmen in the Jingshi City, so Feng Ziying feels that if Jia Lian is willing to stay in the Jingshi, the Jingshi here can be completely formed by Jia Lian.

And Duan Xigui straightened out the Yangzhou number, so he went directly to Datong to open the Datong number.

As the foundation of the Duan family, the Feng family also has a lot of influence over there, and the Datong number is very important, which is also to avoid the Shanxi merchants from following the example and posing a threat to Haitong Yinzhuang in the future, at least to establish their own first-mover advantage, so it is also important to do it as soon as possible.

Moreover, a city like Guangzhou must be occupied as soon as possible, so Duan Xigui will be very busy in the next two or three years, if Jia Lian can carry the Jingshi here, it can also greatly reduce Duan Xigui's pressure.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I still prefer Yangzhou." Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, but quickly said: "But the Jingshi can't be delayed here, Xigui can't get out of it for the time being, I will definitely do it here without hesitation, with you in the Jingshi City, I also have the bottom, at least there is nothing wrong now." ”

"Second Brother Lian, be confident, I've seen what you've done during this time, you've done a good job, my cousin may not be able to do you so well when you come over, you are still more familiar with it in Jingshi City, like looking for office space, digging people, straightening out relationships, my cousin can't do it so smoothly in such a short time, I mean it's better for you to do it first, as for saying that if you want to go back to Yangzhou in the future, you can go anywhere."

Feng Ziying smiled, "If Second Brother Lian is reluctant to let you be in the Yangzhou house, you might as well let someone send it back, if it's not good to enter the house, it's okay to keep it outside for the time being." ”

Jia Lian's face stiffened, and he shook his head, "Where do I still have the heart to think about those things now, your second brother has grown so big, and he has never worked so hard like this time, he has to think about today's things when he opens his eyelids early in the morning, he has to go out after eating, and he can't get home until midnight, and I haven't even been on your second sister-in-law's bed for so long, I really don't have that kind of energy,......

Jia Lian's words are also taboo, Feng Ziying also laughed, "Second brother Lian, this is not good, no wonder the second sister-in-law saw that my face was not good-looking just now, dare to love that you haven't cultivated your own field since you came back, maybe the second sister-in-law will know what happened to you in Yangzhou?" ”

"Hmph, I'm not afraid if I know, you can still let the women do something?" Jia Lian snorted lightly, "If you annoy me, you will follow your example, buy a few rooms outside, and be too lazy to go home, and when the time comes, you have to ask her to beg her master to go back." ”

Yo, this second master Lian now has a career, and his confidence is enough, Feng Ziying is a little funny.

However, he didn't think that wild flowers like the skinny horse in Yangzhou could be so fragrant, and it was just a freshness, but he appreciated Jia Lian's current energy to throw away everything and do business.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, if Jia Lian can't leave his pleasure and settle down to do things at the beginning like this, Feng Ziying will really worry that he can't bear this burden.

But now it seems that Jia Lian is doing a good job, and he also knows that pulling Jia Yun to his side to do things shows that he has consciously learned to control the situation, which is a good thing.

Jia Yun is a person who can do things, it's still a pity to put it in Daguanlou, it's just a drama garden, and the performance of more than a year can also explain a lot, put it in Haitong Yinzhuang, maybe you can still exercise.

"Second Brother Lian, you should do the things on the Jingshi first, I think it's okay to do it like this." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Jia Yun, if you want to think it's okay, you have to come over, and I'll go and say it to Second Brother Liu." ”

"Well, then let's talk about it, I'll let Yun'er come over officially, I just helped before, I think Yun'er also has some understanding in this regard, and she is willing to learn and work, much better than the people who came from King Zhongshun's side,......" Jia Lian shook his head, obviously not very satisfied with the people sent by King Zhongshun.

"The people who came over from the Zhongshun prince and the Shanshan merchants, Second Brother Lian, you still do your best to use it, and use it if you can, but the key place has to be in your hands, the treasurer wants our people, and the accounts must be absolutely clear,......"

Jia Lian nodded, "Ziying, don't worry, I naturally understand the importance of such things, Yun'er, I plan to let him go to the treasurer for the time being to learn from the people we brought from Yangzhou, and let him get familiar with all aspects of the business later,......"

Feng Ziying didn't say much, "Well, it's good that you know it in your heart, by the way, what's going on with this today?" ”

"What are you talking about Baoyu?" Jia Lian didn't expect Feng Ziying to bring the topic back to this side again, and said a little disappreciatively: "What else can it be?" I don't understand, this Baoyu is not small, fifteen or sixteen years old, he doesn't do anything serious all day, either listening to the drama in the theater garden, or messing with Jiang Qiguan and Zhong Ge'er, I didn't think it was before, but now I feel more and more that it can't go on like this, but I want to find an opportunity to talk to the two masters. ”

Feng Ziying didn't expect Jia Lian to say such a thing, he didn't have the confidence to dare to say such a thing in front of Jia pardon and Jia Zheng, and he actually had to suggest that Baoyu should not be allowed to do this.

"Second Brother Lian, what do you think Baoyu should do now?"

"The house also said that they wanted to find a suitable family for him, but there was no conclusion, probably because the eldest girl became a concubine and had a high vision, right?" Jia Lian was also a little unsure, "Maybe find a suitable relative, get married early, and see if you can make him take care of it." ”

"Second Brother Lian, you haven't said what happened to Baoyu today?" Feng Ziying looked at Jia Lian and said.

Knowing that he couldn't get around, Jia Lian coughed dryly, and considered his words, "Ziying, you also know Baoyu's temperament, he used to be a little obsessed with Sister Lin, and now that you are engaged to Sister Lin, he is a little stunned, some time ago, he was appeased in the name, and Sister Lin didn't meet him much here, plus Brother Zhong and Jiang Qiguan also walked closely with him a few days ago, everyone thought it was over, I didn't think that Qin Ye was sick the day before yesterday, Brother Zhong went back to guard his father, Jiang Qiguan was also busy in the theater during this time, Baoyu has no playmates, so ......"

"So, I reverted to my old ways and had some thoughts?" Feng Ziying said coldly.

Jia Lian's heart sank, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "No, Ziying, Baoyu, you also understand, he won't be so unbearable, how can you say it?" He is more like a child, and he thinks that Sister Lin is very close to him, so he likes to talk with Sister Lin, laugh and play, to be honest, although Sister Lin is younger than him, but in fact he is more like a younger brother, well, I think Brother Huan looks more sensible than him, just as he also likes to go to the Xue family's sister, in fact, he just likes a lively, I hope everyone cares about him,......"

I have to say that Jia Lian, a cousin, knows Baoyu very well, and this analysis and judgment is similar to Feng Ziying's opinion.

This guy is like a child who hasn't grown up, and he wants everyone around him to be centered on him, whether it is an elder or a peer, and he has been used to living in this environment since he was a child, so once he loses this aura, he feels at a loss, and even can't adapt.

"It seems that we still have to talk to Baoyu." Feng Ziying said calmly.

"Baoyu's temperament that has never grown up, the maids in the house are probably all fond of it, so that Baoyu can look at it, Bo and an aunt must be willing, but it is estimated that like the daughter of a high-ranking family outside, I am afraid that it will be troublesome, and those who understand Baoyu's temperament are probably not too willing." Jia Lian is still very realistic, "Actually, this can be seen from the attitudes of Sister Xue and Sister Lin and even Sister Yun. ”

"Oh?" Feng Ziying turned her head in surprise.

"Of course the second sister, the third sister and the fourth sister won't have anything, but the younger sister of the Xue family, didn't she originally come for the draft girl in the palace? I heard that after missing the draft time, Aunt Xue originally wanted the Xue family's sister and Baoyu to kiss and kiss, it is appropriate, it is estimated that both sides also have this meaning, but then it has never been mentioned again, now the Xue family's sister is sixteen, and it is time to talk about marriage, but there is no suitable candidate so far, but Aunt Xue has never mentioned Baoyu's matter again, and even Baoyu ran to Lixiangyuan, and the Xue family's sister was sick, isn't it obvious? ”

Feng Ziying felt that she had really underestimated Jia Lian, and the conclusions she came to with this delicate observation ability were enough to show that Jia Lian had really been delayed in Jia's mansion before, and after she really wanted to let him go out and give him a chance to polish, she didn't dare to say that she was golden and jade, but at least it was a middle-class appearance.

Of course, Jia Lian didn't know about Baochai and herself, but presumably after Baochai saw the contrast between herself and Baoyu, even if she wouldn't marry her, it was estimated that she might not be willing to marry someone like Baoyu.
