Jia Huan looked at Daiyu's beautiful eyes like autumn water, her heartstrings were plucked by this beautiful girl, she smiled softly, put her hands around Daiyu's thin waist, hugged her in her arms, and felt her fragrant breath, soft delicate body, and gentle affection. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since he accepted Daiyu's feelings, he knew that this feeling was not a burden, but a luscious, refreshing, and unforgettable emotion.

Jia Huan gently caressed Daiyu's black and silky hair over and over again, and said softly: "My sister has a heart." No. I sold my land to be an emperor. I'll take care of it. Believe me. "He's going to make a smashing pot and selling it down. Otherwise, what would the Son of Heaven think that Jiafu was smuggling and making money?

He helped Daiyu oversee the inheritance. It's not inaccessible. He can help Daiyu make investments and increase returns with Daiyu's consent. But he must not use this money to fill his own holes, or use it as a bridge loan, and embezzle it temporarily. This bottom line and principle still need to be there.

He didn't want to live up to Lin Ruhai's trust. He also doesn't want to take advantage of Daiyu's feelings and trust in him. If this affection is mixed with impurities, how can he be worthy of Sister Lin's dedication to him?

Daiyu nodded in Jia Huan's arms, "Hmm." ”

Jia Huan and Daiyu were warm, and time slowly flowed away. Zijuan came in to inform for dinner, and the two separated. Daiyu's pretty face was crimson, delicate as water.

Eating together, Daiyu stopped by and talked about the situation of the Japanese Poetry Society some time ago. The glass world is white and red with snow and red plums, and the fat powder fragrant baby cuts the fishy cheek; Lu Xue Nunnery competes for instant poems, warm incense dock elegant spring lantern riddles; Xue Xiaomei's new nostalgic poems.

Daiyu held the chopsticks, bit her teeth slightly, and chuckled: "Brother Huan, Sister Bao's sister is talented. The nostalgic poems she wrote are lantern riddles, can you guess? Saying that, he recited: "Chibi is nostalgic for the ancients, the Chibi is buried in the water and does not flow, leaving the name and surname to carry the empty boat." The hustle and bustle is sad and cold, and the infinite heroic soul is swimming inside. Hit something, can you guess? ”

Daiyu's voice is like a clear flute, pleasant to the ear. Tilting his head slightly, looking at Jia Huan, there is an indescribable smart charm, which is a combination of poetry and book temperament and wisdom, and with Sister Lin's unique charming temperament. The face under the light is like a hibiscus blooming.

Jia Huan looked slightly distracted. It's really like a jade! He whispered again: "Chibi nostalgia." Just as he was about to guess, Mo'er from outside came in and said, "Third master, Sister Qingwen sent someone to find you." said that the second master of Lian has a big matter to discuss with you. ”

Jia Huan came back to his senses and said, "Oh, I'll go over right away." Looking at Daiyu again, Daiyu was already shy, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Probably saying something like "nerd" in my heart. Jia Huan smiled.

The big thing, Jia Huan will deal with it later. After eating with Daiyu, he left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and went to the Moon Residence.

…

…

Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun were waiting in the middle of Mochizuki. Drinking tea in the side hall. Jia Lian was dressed in a blue robe, walking back and forth, quite anxious. He was ordered by Jia Huan to contact the Jin merchants, and today the Jin merchants came to talk to him. The results were not very good.

Jia Rong persuaded: "Second Uncle Lian, don't worry. Uncle Huan has his own plans. The Qiang brothers have already chosen a good place outside Chaoyang Gate. That's what auction house can definitely do. Even if the Jin merchants don't borrow silver, our government can pass this hurdle. ”

Jia Lian waved his hand and said irritably: "If the Jin merchants don't borrow silver, the price of the auction house will not go up." How did the Jinling Zhen family get the price, did you forget? He said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Rong, I'm worried to death, and my ancestral property is mortgaged." Are you still going to spend money to marry and fill the house? ”

Jia Rong smiled wryly. The rules of Jiafu are still very strict. Not everyone is Jia Huan, you can go down to the gram.

Jia Rong had already reconciled with Qin Keqing. He recently planned to marry a lady who had filled a house. He has no children at this age, so he urged Jia's mother once, and he was a little anxious. He and Second Sister You are on good terms, but he can't marry her.

Jia Qiang helped the good brother ease the atmosphere and said, "Second Uncle Lian, it's not that Brother Rong is unwilling to contribute. I mentioned it to Uncle Huan. Uncle Huan said that he didn't need the silver from Dongfu. Brothers settle accounts. The bereavement pension does not go to the account of the East House. ”

Since it was Jia Huan's decision, Jia Lian couldn't say anything more.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Jia Huan returned to Mochizuki Residence. In the side hall, he exchanged a few words with Jia Lian and Jia Rong, and learned that they had all had dinner in Wangyueju, and instructed Yuan Bo to make a pot of good tea from Longjing in front of the Ming Dynasty rewarded by Concubine Yuan, and then served all kinds of snacks and fruits in Jia's mansion. Several people sat around the table of the Eight Immortals, drinking tea and talking.

Jia Huan asked, "Second Brother Lian, how is the situation?" ”

Jia Lian reported to Jia Huan on the preparation of the silver, "Brother Huan, Shopkeeper Liu of Rishengchang came to the house in the evening. Of the eight Zhuangzi in Heishan Village, he was only willing to mortgage 300,000 taels of silver.

Calculated that the honeycomb coal was mortgaged for 30,000 taels of silver. My father's furniture is only a little more than 10,000 taels. Antiques and devices are about 40,000 taels when they are discounted. Sister Feng and I will give another 2,000 taels.

The old lady gave 20,000 taels of silver. The wife gave five thousand taels. The rest are not equal. It's all small amounts. There is a difference of 108,000 taels of silver. It's hard to put together this money. ”

Jia Lian looked a little depressed.

His silver was the 30,000 taels mortgaged by honeycomb coal. Any more, and it's gone. He spends the money when he has it. Two thousand taels of silver, he and Sister Feng quarreled a lot of times, and they pulled it out, and Ping'er poured everything he had, and secretly gave him 500 taels.

Jia Huan nodded slightly quietly.

The silver from the Duke of Jiafu is the land purchased by the ancestors of Jiafu. The bulk of Jiafu's income, if it is not affected by the disaster, is 20,000 taels of silver a year. There are about 10,000 taels of silver on the books, so they are naturally preparing for the New Year.

Jia's mother still has to take care of her eldest son Jia Amnesty, and she can't see death without help. Jia's mother's life savings are only 80,000 taels of silver. It is also necessary to prepare for the marriage of Baoyu, Daiyu, and the marriage of the Yingchun sisters. insisted on taking out 20,000 taels to Jia Yu.

Mrs. Wang has never had a good face for Jia Yu, and being able to take out five thousand taels can be regarded as an explanation to Jia Zheng.

Therefore, the remaining 108,000 taels of silver will be prepared by Jia Huan.

Jia Huan said: "The Jin merchant ticket number is only willing to mortgage 300,000 yuan, which is still a little less." In this way, I put my ice cream business into the mortgage. Also, the rouge business we partnered with was mortgaged, and we must mortgage another 100,000 taels of silver. ”

The ice cream business is unique to Jia Huan. Jia Rong and Lin Zhiyun helped him act as an agent for sales. The rouge business is a partnership between Jia Huan, Wang Xifeng, and Jia Lian, and is dominated by Jia Huan.

Jia Lian was a little moved in his heart. Jia Huan is willing to take out these things, and he still has a public heart. Of course, Jia Lian didn't know that Jia Huan had made up his mind to send Jia Yu on the road. His voice was a little choked, and he said, "Brother Huan, thank you." ”

Jia Huan nodded, smiled, and said, "Second Brother Lian, I heard that Sister-in-law Feng is pregnant. You don't have to quarrel a few words. Let her be good to give birth to. Furi is a difficult time now, but it can definitely be overcome. He listened to Baochai about this.

He smiled at Sister Lin and Sister Feng, but Sister Xiaofeng was unhappy. I won't say that Sister Xiaofeng had a miscarriage. He's not that kind of person. In the original book of Red Mansions, Sister Feng is tired after the New Year, and she is Xiaoyue. Later, she was pregnant with another son and had a miscarriage. Speaking of which, Sister Feng, there are also very miserable times.

Seeing Jia Huan say this, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun were all relieved. The atmosphere in the house is relaxed.

…

…

Jia Fu is indeed very difficult at the moment. This is not only Jia Huan who wants to show the emperor. He even mortgaged the ancestral land of Jiafu.

In the social environment at that time, selling land and ancestral homes were all acts of a loser. Someone will be poked in the back. Therefore, Jia Huan's "performance" is very hard to a certain extent. The Son of Heaven will not feel that the punishment is light.

However, Jia Huan did not intend to sell the assets left by Jia Yu at a low price. The Zhen family's kind of cheating thing, which was jointly lowered by the merchants of the whole city, would not appear in Jiafu. He plans to auction off the assets left by Jia Yu in the form of an auction house.

The auction house, in the Zhou Dynasty, was a novelty. However, with Jiafu's connections and political status, it is not difficult to open an auction house.

Jia Lian just said that all kinds of utensils and antiques are worth 40,000 taels. Then the real value may be between 8-100,000 taels. If the auction is good, it is normal for the price to rise by 20%-30%. That's earned. However, in this way, he is actually short of 50,000 (48,000) taels of silver.

…

…

On the sixth day of the lunar month, Jia Huan went to King Wu's mansion for a walk, met with Ning Cheng, the son of King Wu, chatted a few words without being salty, explained what books he read for the New Year, and then left. He was not interested in teaching Wu Wang Shizi. However, for the sake of King Wu's rich apprenticeship, he still has to spend some effort. But he didn't have much time to do it years ago.

Jia Huan met with Wang Youhong, the eldest son of Yangzhou salt merchant Wang Heting, in the Yangzhou Hall in the south of the city, outside the Chongwen Gate, and a few streets from the Jin Chamber of Commerce.

Wang Youhong has been in Beijing for half a month and wants to expand the perfume market in the north. By the way, Jia Huan will send an annual dividend: 12,000 taels of silver. In the perfume business, Jia Huan and the Wang family split the accounts. He is six and four in the family.

It stands to reason that he only came up with a technical formula and partially produced it. The Wang family is responsible for procurement, production, sales, and capital advances, and is responsible for the majority of the shares. The reason is very simple: he is an official, and the Wang family is a citizen.

After eating a few glasses of wine, Wang Youhong got up to toast Jia Huan and said with a smile: "Lord Jia is now smashing pots and selling iron to raise silver. Don't know if you're interested in selling your shares in Perfume? ”

Jia Huan glanced at Wang Youhong with a smile. Xiao Wang is still almost hot. If Wang Heting was here, he would definitely not talk to him like this.

Wang Youhong gave Jia Huan a stumble, and hurriedly smiled, "I lost my words after drinking, I lost my words, please forgive me." "When Jia Huan was in Jinling, he was just lifting people. Now an official.

Jia Huan smiled and said, "I use fifty percent of the perfume shares as a pledge." Mortgage 50,000 taels of silver. Interest is calculated at market value. Redeem after one year. Can you Wang family pick it up? ”

Wang Youhong thought about it and agreed, "Okay." ”

The final funding gap was filled. Jia Huan smiled slightly, left an invitation to Wang Youhong for the auction, and left.

…

…

Although Jia Huan made up his fortunes, after all, on the 11th day of the lunar month, he handed over 500,000 taels of silver tickets to King Wu and got the receipt of King Wu's painting. Closed the matter. King Wu was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is in charge of the inner money of the Son of Heaven.

Jia Huan still needs to find a lucrative business for Jia Fu. After all, the silver is only mortgaged. belongs, the displacement of power and capital. and not the actual value. But, that's all for later.

Things at the auction house are proceeding in an orderly manner, preparing for the first auction of the New Year on the 23rd before the New Year.

That afternoon, after Jia Huan finished dealing with the trivial affairs of Jiafu, and was about to rest, Mr. Longjiang sent Butler Xu to invite him to eat and drink in Jiaofangsi Hutong.
