But Jia Qiang was confident that he already had considerable self-protection power at that time.

In this way, the great pressure will be resolved in this "misfortune".

It's just that these words can't be said to the uncle's family.

And, it's not all good.

At least, if he can't wash away the name of "disobedience and unfilial piety" on his head, then he basically won't have to mess around in this life, and it will be difficult for him to move forward.

He coughed dryly, and smiled at Liu Laoshi and the others: "I had expected this before, so I didn't find anyone to overhaul the house. That's good, my uncle is from Yanjing, so I know where I can rent it." Good house, Uncle, you can go to Yaren early tomorrow morning and find a second-entry house in Xicheng. We will move there before noon tomorrow. Don’t be stingy with the money. The antiques that Brother Xue gave you are all good things. It is enough for us to live for a year. When our business starts, these will not be a problem."

Hearing this, Liu Laoshi said in a muffled voice, "Then... why is it not necessary to be in the West City? The land in the West City is more expensive than renting houses, so wouldn't it be better to stay in the South City?"

The smile on Jia Qiang's face became a little more serious, and she said softly: "Uncle, if we were in Nancheng today, do you think that only a dozen or so slaves from the Duke's mansion would come? They would still be unarmed? Believe me, if not There are many dignitaries here, they will not only come with a dozen people, they will come with more people, armed with knives, guns, sticks and fire pockets. Even if we are burned, no one will avenge us for this. Maybe we can only wait for the Jia family When they are defeated, their political opponents will use this as a sharp weapon to add fire to Jia's grave, but what's the point of that?"

Feng Yuan, who robbed Xue Ling of Xiangling with Xue Pan, is a stone nerd with a fan, and his family is better than Liu Laoshi's family, but isn't his family ruined?

If the Nancheng was poor and messy, where dragons and snakes mixed together, it would be effortless for the Ningguo Mansion to take down Liu Laoshi's family.

Liu Laoshi didn't understand Jia Qiang's meaning very well, but Aunt Chun scolded: "Since you don't understand, just listen to people who understand and do things. You don't need to pay money..."

Liu Da Niu couldn't bear to listen anymore, she said angrily, "Mother!"

Is this human talk?

Jia Qiang ignored Liu Laoshi's family. He looked at Tieniu and said softly, "Brother-in-law, have you ever been scared today?"

This tall man with a ferocious face that looks like a bull devil is as timid as a chicken in his heart.

In addition, before his mother died, she repeatedly told him not to make a move, and this resulted in the current black fur chicken...

Hearing Jia Qiang's words, Tieniu waved his hands a little shyly and said, "No, Brother Qiang, I'm not afraid." Then he scratched his head with his big hands like black banana leaves, and said with a naive smile, "I'm just blocked. The door, no hands."

Jia Qiang said softly: "This is already hard to come by. Brother-in-law, do you know what will happen if they break in today? Even if this is the West City, once they enter, they will smash everywhere, not only smashing things, but also They can beat people. There are so many inhumane rich and powerful slaves. They even beat their aunts, cousins, and nephews together. The harder they beat, the more they can claim credit in front of their masters. This is still in the West City. If it is in the South City, they dare to directly Killing people with hot hands. Brother-in-law, my aunt asked you not to shoot lightly before she died, because she was worried that your hands would be heavy, hurt people's lives, and you would have to sue, and no one would protect you. But now you have become my cousin's husband, a little Father of the dog, if bad people come to harm them, I hope brother-in-law, you will not be afraid, and you can still protect your family from harm as you do today."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and glanced at the big black man who was stunned, and went back to the room first.

……

Jia Mansion, Lixiangyuan.

"What? This uncle is too confused. He doesn't even think about what kind of person Big Brother Zhen is? It's clear that Big Brother Zhen wanted to force that thing after seeing Brother Qiang's good birth. After being rejected by Brother Qiang, he was unwilling. After all the suppression failed, now you want to put people to death, and put the pot of shit on Brother Qiang's head upside down, how shameless!"

Xue Pan learned from Aunt Xue that Jia Zheng disliked Jia Qiang, and that Jia Zhen told Jia to pardon Jia Zheng.

Although Xue Pan is not stingy, he still has a lot of loyalty to those who value him.

Aunt Xue had to hear Xue Pan's words, and hurriedly coaxed: "My son, they can't take care of his family's affairs. Now that we are living in his house, don't worry about it."

Xue Baochai sighed softly, and said: "As the saying goes, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. This may be the fate of the previous life. Now my uncle, the elders of the Xifu, and the elders of the Dongfu Zhen have all appointed him. Sin, it’s useless for my brother to be angry, and it’s not easy for everyone to get along with each other. Besides, my mother gave him a carload of gifts the day before yesterday because he could lead his brother to the right path, and discussed taking care of his livelihood. Now that we have reached this point, According to me, it’s okay.”

Aunt Xue also hurriedly said: "Did you hear what your sister said? This matter must not get out of hand, otherwise our three children will not be able to live with your uncle anymore. Now you are still young and cannot support the family. If you Without the help of relatives, it will be difficult for the Xue family to gain a foothold in Beijing. You evil bastard, you must remember it. Otherwise, you will be forced to die as a mother..."

Xue Pan's face turned purple when he heard the words, and after snorting angrily, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue tried to stop her, but was persuaded by Baochai. Baochai said: "Mom, don't worry, brother understands the importance."

When Aunt Xue started rambling again, Baochai sighed softly in her heart, and that lonely and elegant blue and white figure quietly appeared in front of her eyes, what a pity...

Chapter 21 Solicitation

The next morning.

Early in the morning, Liu Laoshi took Jia Qiang to meet Yaren, and after expressing his request, he rented the area near Qingta Temple, which is more than ten miles away from Rongning Street, at an annual rent of 24 taels of silver. It is called a two-entry house in Wutiao Hutong.

There are two front and back entrances, there is a hand-painted verandah and a vertical flower gate. It used to be the residence of a Beijing official. It happened that the Beijing official returned to his hometown recently. The house was sold, and it was bought and rented out for income.

Although the vicinity of Qingta Temple is not as crowded as Rongning Street, it is also a place where scholars and officials gather, but the grade of officials is not very high.

If Liu Laoshi hadn't told Yaren that Jia Qiang was the great-great-grandson of Ningguo Justice School, Yaren might not have been willing to rent it to him.

Time was a little urgent, and I couldn't take many things I brought from Madao Hutong in Nancheng. Jia Qiang decided to throw them all away, and only put the oven and a set of tools that I had built earlier, and some underwear, and Feng Ziying and Xue Just bring the congratulatory gift from Pan.

Even so, he loaded two large carts and left the dilapidated old house before noon.

"Yo, Brother Qiang, you are..."

Before the trip, a young man two years older than Jia Qiang walked out of a small house not far away, approached him, and asked with a puzzled face.

Jia Qiang recognized this person, but only in her previous life, she almost never talked to him.

Although they are all brothers of the same clan, there is a huge disparity between rich and poor, and their predecessors did not think highly of this person.

However, Jia Qiang now has a good impression of this person, saying: "Second brother Yun? I am moving. The patriarch expelled me from the Jia family. From now on, I am not from the Jia family."

The person who came was Jia Yun, who was no match for Jia Qiang in terms of background.

Jia Qiang was still regarded as the decent great-great-grandson of Ning Guo, and Jia Yun's ancestor was a concubine, and in his generation, he was less and less valued.

His father died early, and even the family did not come forward to arrange the funeral...

But this is not a bad thing, because in the future Rongning and Ningfu will be unlucky, and he will not be involved much...

Jia Yun obviously heard about the Dong Mansion, and his face was a bit heavy, but he was smart, and he saw that there was not much sadness on Jia Qiang's face. Although he was surprised, he didn't mention this matter on his face, but smiled. Said: "I passed by your house before, and I smelled the strong aroma inside. At that time, I wanted to be thick-skinned and ask for a taste."

When Jia Qiang heard the words, she praised her cleverness in her heart, and said with a smile, "I roasted some mutton. If I want to eat it, there will be a chance later. By the way, what are you doing for a living now?"

Jia Yun shook her head and smiled wryly, "There's no such thing as making a living, but it's just suffering day by day."

Jia Qiang said: "Now my uncle's family lives with me, in Wutiao Hutong near Qingta Temple. The aroma you smelled a while ago is the business they are preparing to operate. If you don't have any serious work yet, you might as well come here Do the same. You have read and can read, and you can keep accounts. You can take care of food and lodging, and the monthly payment is two taels. Of course, the premise is that you are not afraid of offending Jia Zhen."

When Jia Yun heard him bluntly mentioning the name of the patriarch, her originally excited face suddenly changed, and she said with a dry smile: "Brother Qiang, let me think about it for a few days."

Jia Qiang understood, and said, "I'll give you three days to think about it. If you still can't do it after three days, I'll have to ask someone else. Brother Yun, you should think about what the Jia family has been doing to you all these years."

After all, without further words, I invited two rented carts with Liu Laoshi's family and headed towards Qingta Temple.

Looking at Jia Qiang's gracefully going away, Jia Yun's face is difficult to calm down...
