Mrs. Wang got the news of Jia Zheng, and the next day she took her personal maids to visit the palace. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun of the pavilion got accurate information from the second sister-in-law, Mrs. He: Wang Ziteng agreed that Jia Huan would marry the daughter of the Xue family.

But Mrs. Wang was not reconciled. She still wasn't convinced. According to her understanding, it is necessary to make things difficult once. Who asked Jia Huan to report her brother before? Or, designate a family to marry. How could it be possible to follow Jia Huan's meaning?

In the evening, the prince returned. After meeting two guests in the hall outside, he heard that his eldest son Wang Chengsi said that his aunt was coming, so he went to the inner house to meet him.

Hearing Mrs. Wang's explanation, Wang Ziteng laughed, "If I give him a princess, are you afraid that you won't want to?" Who will belong to my brother-in-law's family property in the future? Moreover, with Jia Huan's ability, looking at the capital, who is more promising than him? Why should I push him out and get married? ”

The horses of the dynasty such as the Han and Tang dynasties can be out of office without affecting the political future. For example, the general Wei Qing is married to the eldest princess and the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Yu Cong. This is not like the Ming Dynasty. The concubine who married the princess in the Ming Dynasty was a rice worm in this life, and he was interrupted on the way.

Madame Wang understood.

If Jia Huan married her sister's daughter, it would be considered a marriage within the four major families, but it would be easy for her to keep Baoyu's status in the future. The Xue family has declined.

"In the end, my brother has a long-term view."

Wang Ziteng smiled and waved his hand.

…

Mrs. Wang got the letter and took the carriage back to Jiafu. The next morning, in the flower hall where Jia's mother went to the room, the relatives gathered together to talk.

Baoyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun are all in front of Jia's mother. The early autumn sun falls on the courtyard and birds chirp.

Jia Mu on the main seat patted the arm of the chair and sighed, "I don't know if my granddaughter has arrived in Yangzhou?" ”

Daiyu and Jia Lian set out from Jiafu for Jiangnan on 29 June, and today is 20 July. It's almost a month.

On the topic of Daiyu in advance, the faces of the relatives showed some sentimental looks.

The worry on Baoyu's face was even worse. It's almost the word "concern" written on his face.

Wang Xifeng also thought about her husband Jia Lian a little in her heart, and said with a smile: "There is a canal, and it should be possible to reach it in a month." Ancestor, Aunt Lin is a good person, or if it is in a momentary crisis, he will always turn the danger into a disaster. ”

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Li Kun all echoed a few words.

Mother Jia's mood was a little better, and she smiled and picked up a piece of cream and pine cake from the snack plate in the mandarin duck's hand.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Mrs. Wang said, "Speaking of Jiangnan." I have one thing here. Brother Huan plans to go to Jinling to study in a few days. His marriage must be decided first. He liked Aunt Xue's daughter. My lord and I agreed. Look at what the old lady means. ”

When he said this, the whole room suddenly became quiet.

The third master wants to marry Miss Bao? Where does this begin? Why is there no wind at all?

Tanchun, who knew Jia Huan's thoughts, opened his lips in surprise. She's sorry for it. The third brother has completed the plan? She was clear-minded, and as soon as she heard Mrs. Wang agree, she knew that Jia Huan had opened up the joints.

Baoyu pouted. Xindao: People like Huan Laosan are really defiled by Sister Bao. He likes Sister Lin the most in his heart, but he also admires Sister Bao's demeanor.

Wang Xifeng raised his willow eyebrows in surprise. Can Aunt Xue agree? Some time ago, the third master sent Uncle Xue in.

Mother Jia glanced at her second daughter-in-law strangely, saw that she was serious, and said in a deep voice, "How does the wife plan to settle down?" It's not good to hurt relatives. ”

If the Jia family forces Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue is afraid that she will move out, right?

What she said to Mrs. Wang was Jia Huan's own request, and she was a little dissatisfied. But she didn't pay much attention to Jia Huan's marriage. It's up to him to think about it.

Mrs. Wang said: "The family will settle down first, and after a period of time, my aunt's anger will disappear, and I will officially mention it to my aunt." ”

Jia Mu nodded. This is a safe thing to do. "It's fine."

Wang Xifeng Danfeng's eyes flashed with contemplation. She heard that Brother Huan recently took students, Brother Rong, and Brother Qiang to sell Bixue cream, which is said to be very popular.

…

The news that the third master wanted to marry Miss Bao soon spread in Jiafu. The reaction of the Jia Mansion was mixed. Everyone knows that more than a month ago, the third master sent Uncle Xue to prison.

Some are optimistic, some are not.

But it didn't happen. It doesn't make a difference. Jia Huan is still pushing this matter at his own pace.

By the way, there is also the news that Jia Huan is going to Jinling to study. Jia Huan's teacher worked as an idle official in Jinling: a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. Have free time to teach him.

The ancestral home of the Jia family is in Jinling. Jia Huan, as one of the masters of the Jia family, is going to Jinling. Jia's mother has something to explain to Jia Huan. The Jia family has a bunch of old, relatives and friends in Jinling. There must be proper etiquette.

Li Kun also moved his mind and wanted Jia Huan to help bring a letter back to Jinling. She hadn't communicated with her family in a while. I wonder if my father and mother are okay?

Caixia hesitated for two days, and when the rumors in the house gradually rose, she made up her mind to talk to the third master.

But Jia Mu, Li Kun, and Caixia didn't find Jia Huan. Jia Huan was not at home in the afternoon. He and Jia Rong inquired about the news that Dai Quan, the prime minister of Daming Palace, returned to his house today, and went to Dai's Mansion in the east of the city early to wait.

Although the overall situation in the palace has been decided, the aftermath still has to be done. He's giving the prince the blame.

It was getting dark. The early autumn nights are already cool, and people want to put on jackets.

In the Lixiang Courtyard, Xue Baochai sat under the lamp and did needlework. Under the bright candlelight, the face is exquisite. There was a hint of sorrow on Mingya's face.

She and her mother have been going to Jia Mansion less recently. Whatever the purpose of the ring brothers sent her brother to prison. With Brother Huan's status in Jiafu at this time, she already felt a faint sense of rejection in Jiafu.

The last layer of skin of the Xue family of Ziwei Sheren has been peeled off! The imperial merchants of that year probably had a little silver left!

My brother's stick wound has healed, and he still fools around outside every day, eating and drinking. The family's business is supported by the elderly left behind by their father.

My mother has not been very happy lately, taking care of the housework, and secretly crying from time to time.

And what about her?

Baochai's eyes seemed to float over the young man's childish face. In the cardamom years, what she felt was the crumbling of the Xue family! And that wisp of sorrow lingering in my heart.

Xiangling waited on the side, a quiet and gentle girl. She is the same age as Baochai. Xue Pan gave Xiangling to Baochai according to Jia Huan's request. She is now Baochai's maid.

Ying'er came in from outside, her steps were hurried, and she walked up to Baochai with an unbelievable smile on her little face, "Girl..." Seeing Baochai looking up at her, she said with a smile: "Girl, there is a legend in Jiafu that the third master wants to marry a girl." The ancestors, lords, and wives in Jiafu have all agreed. ”

"Ahh Her fingers were punctured with silver needles. The fingers that were as bright as jade were slightly red.

Baochai sucked her fingers, and a crimson swept across her pretty jade-like face.

Xiangling was quiet, but she was also extremely shocked by the news, and hurriedly asked, "Ying'er, is this true?" ”

Ying'er nodded, "The news from the old lady this morning. Jia's wife said it. Said that after our grandmother was discouraged, we would officially bring it up. Over there, there is no longer a girl from someone else's family for Huan Sanye. ”

She knew the girl's thoughts. If the third master has the heart to ask for girls, then why can't they live in Jiafu? The situation changed back all of a sudden.

When Xiangling was about to ask again, Baochai couldn't hide the shyness in her heart, and said lightly: "The tea is cold." Why don't you pour me a cup of tea? ”

She remembered what Jia Huan said to her: Please rest assured, Sister Bao!

The words are still in my ears.

She thought that Jia Huan would find a way to heal the rift between her mother and her brother. But what she didn't expect was that after more than a month, he actually earned the consent of his aunt and aunt and wanted to marry her!

Baochai's heart was mixed with emotions such as shyness, surprise, worry, hesitation, suddenness, and relaxation. With this quiet moonlight, it flows.

…

Jia Huan and Jia Rong were hung by the great eunuch Dai Quan until about one o'clock in the middle of the night before they were received.

Jia Huan used three thousand taels of silver to eliminate Dai Quan's anger and made up a set of rhetoric, "How can you not believe in the truth of the old minister?" Zuo Yi consulted the doctor Wu Tianyou, and I gave me two thousand taels of silver. was worried that Wu Guozhang would not be able to take this matter, so he begged the old minister. ”

Jia Huan's explanation was good, and Dai Quan accepted the explanation for the sake of the silver.

Coming out of Dai's mansion, the sky was full of stars. Jia Huan and Jia Rong sat in the exquisite carriage. This is Jia Rong's carriage.

Jia Rong is in her twenties and looks handsome. Sitting in the carriage, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Uncle Huan, I'm still worried that Eunuch Dai won't accept it." I didn't expect it to be difficult. ”

Jia Huan leaned comfortably on the collapsed chair and said relaxedly: "There are eunuchs who don't love silver, but Dai Quan is definitely not an exception." Brother Rong, I will go to Jiangnan in two days, and you can help me keep an eye on the sales of Bixue paste to the magnates of Beijing. ”

He met with Mr. Long Jiang on the 16th. Mr. Longjiang has already asked Emperor Yongzhi to evaluate the blue snow cream. In the past two or three days, I have also helped him promote blue snow cream in the circle of friends. It has opened the market among the nobles of the capital.

When talking about sales. Mr. Longjiang talked about what he saw and heard in the Daming Palace that night. So he asked him how much silver he gave Dai Quan. Jia Huan said it straightforwardly. Mr. Long Jiang was amazed.

Jia Huan had already bought a courtyard in the inner city, and Jiang Xingsheng was responsible for managing production and production. The current sales channel is through Mr. Longjiang's house. This is a favor, not a long-term channel. The store that sells to the outside world is the Xinfeng on the street of Sishifang. This is Jia Huan's private property. It is held by Zhang Sishui.

The price of blue and white porcelain tea paste in blue and white porcelain tea cups is 20 taels. In addition to the cost of white porcelain tea, the cost of saltpeter, cream, sugar, and fruit pulp for making ice is relatively low, counting the cost of stores and labor, a total of about five taels of silver.

This is considered a luxury and a huge profit. Take the high-end route.

Therefore, Jia Huan needs Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to help him take over the sales channels that are exclusively sold to the mansion of the powerful from Mr. Longjiang's mansion. Other things, his student Jiang Xingsheng can handle.

Dealing with the powerful, you can't do it without titles and official positions.

Jia Rong said in surprise: "Uncle Huan, are you going to Jiangnan?" ”

Jia Huan nodded.

Now the pot is also backed. He arranged the affairs in Jiafu and went to Dongzhuang Town again. You're ready to go. (To be continued.) )
