At the beginning of October, the chill in the capital became more and more chilly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoJia Huan sat in the carriage and looked at the bustling Xuanwumen Street. There are many kinds of shops: mountain goods, pharmacies, liquor stores, cloth shops, pawn shops, silver jewelry shops, silver horns, etc. Dense crowds.

In fact, it is difficult for the political storm in the capital to affect the lives of ordinary people.

Jia Huan lowered the curtain of the luxurious carriage and leaned comfortably on the collapsed chair. He had just chatted with Sect Master Fang and Wei Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy in the morning, and then left early before noon and returned to Jiafu.

successfully cut Jia Yu and Jia Mansion, and Concubine Yuan accompanied the Son of Heaven in Chengde. In this major political storm in the capital, Jiafu was safe and sound, and benefited a lot. Naturally, his mood was extremely relaxed.

Of course, with a little regret, he was not promoted.

Carriage to Mochizuki House. Before Jia Huan arrived at the door of the hall in the backyard, he heard the laughter of a room of warblers and swallows. He had a dinner with his sisters and sisters at home at noon today. The other day really scared them.

It happened that Qingwen came out with an empty copper kettle in one hand, wearing a dark red long skirt, the girl's figure was slender, her face was pretty, and her steps were light. ”

Jia Huanwan smiled, held Qingwen's arm affectionately, and said, "I'll let the little maid do it for you." Come in and talk to me. "Jia Huan is very fond of Qingwen.

"Okay." Qingwen just smiled, and a slightly sweet feeling welled up in her heart, and she followed Jia Huan in.

Jia Huan walked into the house with Qingwen. Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Li Kun, and Jiafu Sanyan are all here with their maids.

Seeing Jia Huan coming in, all the golden hairpins greeted each other. "Husband", "Brother Huan", "Brother Huan", "Brother Huan", "Brother Huan", "Third Brother", "Third Brother". For a time, the indoor is like a warbler crying and swallows, and the flowers are in full bloom.

Jia Huan responded one by one, sat beside Baochai and Daiyu, his nose was full of fragrance, and said with a smile: "Today I have Yaxing, so I came back from the yamen early and invited all the poets to gather here for a while." It's just because Brother Yun collected a few Yellow River crucian carp outside Chongwen Gate. The Yellow River crucian carp is used to make soup, and the soup is delicious. You can feast on it. In addition, I am waiting for the good poems of all the elegant guests. ”

Li Kun was dressed in a blue cardigan, with a convex and concave figure, with a mature and elegant young woman's style, and said with a smile: "I said that the second and sixteenth days of junior high school will open a poetry club with me." I don't want the ring brothers to open a club today. ”

Xiangyun clapped his hands and smiled: "I am in favor." Sister Bao said on the same day: If there is a happy one, she is willing to add a club, and she can also make it, isn't it lively and interesting? ”

Daiyu took the embroidered white handkerchief, pursed her lips and smiled, like a flower like jade, and said, "Yun'er likes to be lively." I'll just see how heroic and generous you are in the future. ”

Everyone was smiling.

Just as he was talking and laughing, the mandarin duck came in from outside the door and smiled, "Oh, the girls are here!" I'm looking for it. The old lady called me to come and ask the girls to come over. The housekeepers outside went back and forth: the eldest wife's brother and sister-in-law, Uncle Xue's brother and sister, and the eldest grandmother's aunt They arrived in Tongzhou, and they would go to the house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”

Xiangling learned poetry with a small success, and then said: "If you want me to say, our poetry club might as well be a few days late, and when they all come, it will not be too late." ”

Xiangling is certainly a good person, but she was dumbfounded, completely unaware that she was refuting Jia Huan's opinion. However, the young sisters don't get along so much, and they are very relaxed. Jia Huan will not blame Xiangling for this.

Baochai was careful, smiled elegantly, and said, "This is okay." He looked at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan smiled and nodded.

A group of people laughed and walked to Jia's mother's upper room.

Jia Yu is currently in prison, and there are not many people in Jia Mansion who really empathize with and sympathize with Jia Yu. Moreover, it has been several days since Jia Yu was imprisoned. Time has diluted that sad mood. There is also the letter of the concubine, and the luck of inviting heaven did not end up with the worst result. You must know the tragic situation of the Zhen Mansion! Jiafu breathed a sigh of relief and swept away the sorrow and hardship.

As for the matter of raising money, it is mainly the matter of Jia Huan, Jia Mu, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong, and it has nothing to do with the girls in the family. With the current strength and wealth of Jiafu, the atmosphere of the Grand View Garden is still the same.

…

…

In the capital, in the winter moon, the goods from the north and south gather and gather outside the Chongwen Gate. Commerce flourished. In the east of the inner city, in a small courtyard in the Jin Chamber of Commerce. Several shopkeepers of Jin merchant ticket numbers are gathering together to discuss.

The ticket number in the capital is dozens. However, to achieve the north-south exchange, each exchange, in fact, is only 16 ticket numbers. These ticket numbers are all in the hands of Jin merchants. Today, the Jin Chamber of Commerce is discussing the big shopkeepers of Rishengchang, Weitaihou, Xiehexin, and Baichuantong.

The leader of the Jin merchant ticket number, the owner of Rishengchang, Lu Yong is driving in Chengde. For a time, the scenery is incomparable.

Rishengchang's shopkeeper Liu knocked on the table and said, "Why, Jia Mansion wants to mortgage their honeycomb coal business, and the big guys don't seem to be interested?" ”

Baichuantong's shopkeeper smoked dry tobacco and said, "That's not it." I was thinking, is their family okay like this? "Some time ago, how big was the momentum? Dozens of imperial historians were impeached, and that's it?

Several people in the small hall laughed when they said this. Shopkeeper Wu smiled: "Not really. There are concubines in their families. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, don't talk about state affairs. Now the silver from Tianjin has been shipped in, and the ticket number is abundant, so I think I can eat it. ”

Shopkeeper Liu nodded and said, "Actually, our master Lu originally planned to sell Ruyang Hou's house to Jia Tanhua. That day, at the homecoming banquet of the imperial merchant Xue's family, listening to Jia Tanhua's tone, he wanted to find a big mansion next to Jia's mansion. Hi, who would have thought he was actually raising money. ”

Everyone laughed.

The loan business of one million taels for the Marquis of Ruyang and the prince was really a loss. Although the financial resources of the Jin merchants are abundant, one million taels of silver is enough to hurt the flesh and bones.

Now he can only collect a little collateral from Ruyang Hou first. Now, the Jin merchants have pressed the treasure capital on the Son of Heaven.

…

…

The fact that Jia Fu is raising money can't hide it from people at all. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, where can you get the empty shelf of Rongguo Mansion? The bulk of the annual income, the land rent, is only 20,000 taels of silver, and the assets are not sold at all.

Of course, Jia Huan will not make the mistake of the Zhen family: the silver owed to the Son of Heaven. Jia Fu must take out this silver. Fill in the big hole of Jia Yu.

On the eighth day of October, Leng Zixing came to his father-in-law Zhou Rui's house again. He opened a pawn shop, and he also wanted to see if there were any gadgets in Jiafu that needed to be pawned, and he would take the opportunity to make a profit. As we all know, a physical pawn can only be used as 30% of the original value.

Zhou Rui's family and his daughter are talking about business in the inner room, and these gadgets are also clear to Zhou Rui's family. Leng Zixing and Zhou Rui were eating and chatting in the side hall.

Zhou Rui still looked that old, with an extremely unwilling look on his face, took a sullen sip of wine, and said: "Don't look at the only eldest master in Jiafu who is in prison this time, hey, I think something will happen sooner or later." ”

Leng Zixing looked middle-aged, dressed in exterior attire, indoors, his fur hat had already been taken off, and he poured wine for his father-in-law with a smile, "That's." Officialdom is unpredictable! Who's right? But in my heart I didn't think so.

Who in the city doesn't know that the Son of Heaven took Jia Guifei to Chengde? This is a sign of grace. How could Jia Mansion have fallen?

Zhou Rui glanced at his son-in-law and drank depressedly. Outside the window, the cold wind howled. Winter is just right.
