Honglouchun

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said, "If you don't go to Beijing, you will only sell some here, but you won't be able to sell many."

Hearing this, Wang Shouzhong said with complicated eyes, "I thought that the prescription you gave to Hengsheng and Dongsheng was already the best prescription, but I didn't know that you had a few feet of silk and satin from Yangzhou. There are brighter ones. Liangchen, it's a pity if you don't open up and sell them!"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Can I sell it? Besides, what do I need so much silver for? Too much silver is also a way to bring disaster. Therefore, I only sell some to the honorable families, and it is more expensive than the market price. Three times. Sell less, money, as long as you have enough.”

Wang Shouzhong smiled wryly and said, "Even if it's so expensive, many people will come to buy it. Without these, I'm afraid not many family members will come here. With this, then... your guild hall can really prosper."

Jia Qiang smiled, and said: "You don't need to be prosperous, whether you can make money or not is secondary after all. If I can make more friends like you here, even if I lose money, I will be happy."

Everyone was delighted to hear this, and after chatting for more than half an hour, Feng Ziying, Wang Shouzhong and Liu Xianglian said goodbye together, but Jia Qiang was in no hurry to leave, because there was a message from the guest room that he wanted to see him.

……

Hua Jieyu.

Even though Hua Jieyu has the title of No. 1 prostitute in the world, she is indeed born with a natural beauty, which is amazing.

However, in recent years Jia Qiang has seen not only young and beautiful girls such as Daiyu and Baoqin, but also Jiangnan beauties such as Aunt Mei, Qi Taizhong's wife Qushi, as well as Sister Feng, Qin Keqing, Youshi, etc. She was a stunning lady, so when he saw this famous oiran, he was not very moved, let alone Xue Pan's obsession.

Hua Jieyu's voice was quiet, and his conversation was good. He said: "The little girl knows that she was able to get out of the prison that day. Apart from the big brother of the slave family, it was also thanks to the blessing of the young master. I can't thank you at all times. I heard that the young master returned today. I would like to take the liberty to see you." , I still hope Young Master Haihan."

Jia Qiang saw that his eyes were clear and upright, and his manner was neither humble nor overbearing. Although he was grateful, he was absolutely not flattering. Unstoppable. He was devoted to the girl with all his heart, and he did not hesitate to use up his family's resources, and even borrowed [-] taels of money to redeem her. What I did was just doing it casually. The only hope is that your lover will finally be married. Dependents, we can support each other in the future."

Hua Jieyu heard the words, a smile appeared on his face, although his cheeks were flushed, but he was still generous, he saluted and said: "Young master said it is very true, the appearance of the ruined willows of the slave family, to be favored by the elder brother, is actually cultivated in the previous life." Blessings. I shouldn’t meet outsiders in private, even if it’s the son, it’s just... the brother of the slave family has not shown up for several months. The slave family heard that it was because of the slave family that the elder brother was whipped by the grandson of Zhao Guogong, and his heart was extremely anxious. So, I heard that the young master came here, and asked specifically. I don’t know if my brother is still in good health, and when will I be able to come?”

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "I'm still arguing with my family about coming here today, but the girl should also understand that Xue's family is not a small family, Brother Xue can't be in charge. However, I think I will come in a day or two. gone."

Hua Jieyu naturally understood, but her maid Yuan Bao couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Brother Xue's family is very fierce? Will our lady be bullied when she enters Xue's family?" She also looked at Jia Qiangsheng was so handsome that he dared to interrupt.

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "It's not fierce, Brother Xue doesn't have much family other than his mother and sister... But the Xue family has many in-laws, and his uncle disciplines him very strictly. With all due respect, although I and Brother Xue has always thought that people like girls have to fall into the dust because of involuntary control. But the world's views on you are not friendly after all. Therefore, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to enter the door of Xue's family. Even if you can enter , also wait until Brother Xue gets married and his sister gets married. In addition, the girl’s name deed is now in my name, I don’t think it’s a good idea. If it can’t be transferred to Brother Xue’s name as soon as possible, I will let you go free first body."

As soon as these words came out, Hua Jieyu and the maid Yuan Bao were shocked, and looked at Jia Qiang in disbelief.

If it falls under Jia Qiang's name or Xue Pan's name, it is a famous flower that already has an owner. Although it is not like a servant, there is no possibility of escape.

But if she is allowed to go free, then she can turn around and remarry, or fly away.

From a legal point of view, Xue Pan will completely lose her ownership.

But you know, Xue Pan spent a full 10 taels of silver to buy her!

Jia Qiang was not in the mood to explain to the two daughters, and after slightly nodding with Hua Jieyu, she turned and left.

If it is true that Hua Jieyu is the kind of person who escapes privately, then that would be a good thing.

After talking with this woman, he became more and more worried about the disturbance that would be caused by Xue Panna's empress...

……

Buzhengfang, Linfu.

When Jia Qiang returned home, there was light snow in the sky.

As soon as he got off his horse and entered the front yard, Steward Wang stood under the porch, looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile, "Master is finally back."

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows lightly when she heard this, and said, "What's the matter?"

Butler Wang said with a smile: "After Mr. Da came back from the hall, relatives and friends of the old family began to visit the door continuously, and they couldn't refuse anyone. There are still foreigners in Zhonglin hall at the moment, but... alas!"

Seeing that his complexion was not right, Jia Qiang wondered, "Since you are a family friend, you are..."

Steward Wang said bitterly: "Master, it's not that I, a slave, hate the poor and love the rich. It's just that these people who came today didn't even send a greeting card before they came to the door. It stands to reason that they are all bad customers. Besides, listen to them What is meant inside and outside the words is that our master has stayed in Yangzhou Mansion, the most prosperous place in the world, for more than ten years, and he must be rich. The Lin family is simple and does not cost much money, so we just Constantly complaining... The master has tried his best to give a lot of help, but there are always those who are poor and crazy. The lion opens his mouth and asks for money, but he is not greedy enough to ask for an official, and he refuses to leave if he fails to achieve his goal! Old friends, the master is too shameful to drive people away, and the aunt and girl are family members, so it is not easy to show their faces, so I have been looking forward to the return of the master."

Jia Qiang heard the words, stopped talking, and strode to Zhonglin Hall.

Although it sounds absurd and hateful, but the way of the world is, in this era when the imperial power and the clan share the world, it is definitely not a good reputation to neglect relatives, especially poor relatives.

Lin Ruhai is now a "newcomer", so his reputation should not be lost to such people.

Fortunately, Jia Qiang is not afraid...

……

"The uncle is back!"

When the young servant in Tsing Yi standing outside Zhonglin Hall saw Jia Qiang coming, his eyes lit up and he preached loudly.

Lin Ruhai's tired voice came from inside: "Qiang'er is back? Come in."

Jia Qiang opened the door and entered, and saw seven or eight people sitting in the Zhonglin Hall, including two white-haired old men, three middle-aged men, and four young men. Judging by the clothes, they were indeed not very rich.

Seeing Jia Qiang enter the door, none of the group of people got up. They all looked at Jia Qiang with scrutiny, as if waiting for him to take the initiative to say hello.

However, Jia Qiang didn't even look at them, and rushed to Lin Ruhai in a few steps, complaining: "Guzuzhang, how can you sit here for a long time? The imperial doctor has repeatedly told you not to be tired, and to rest in bed more often." , take more rest. Even the emperor in the palace sympathizes with you, and allows you to work at home for a short time, how can you...not good, your face is not right, aunt!"

After an exclamation, Jia Qiang shouted loudly: "Come here, hurry up, help the master go back to the room to rest, and then quickly go and invite the imperial doctor!"

There was a woman who had been waiting for a long time, and when she heard this, she hurried forward, supported Lin Ruhai, and couldn't help but send her back to the inner hall.

After a period of turmoil, Jia Qiang's expression was solemn, and her piercing and reproachful eyes flicked across the faces of everyone in Zhonglin Hall, and she said in a deep voice, "I don't know you all, you should leave your names behind."

"Leave your name? What do you do?"

Someone asked in displeasure.

Jia Qiang sneered and said: "The Emperor wants Mr. Yong to pass down a decree to let him rest well. After he recuperates, there are important state affairs to be done. If there is nothing to do today, let's go. If Mr. is really tired and something goes wrong, delay The emperor in the palace conspired to deal with state affairs, and blamed me and other family members for not taking good care of me, not paying attention to my filial piety, and talking about serious crimes... At that time, you will always have to share some of the blame for me, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, the four young people near the door quickly stood up, looked at each other, turned around and left without saying a word.

Their old man once had a deep friendship with the Lin family, and he was an old family friend. He heard that the Lin family was rich as an enemy, so he came here to fight the autumn wind, and even had the idea of ​​coming to the house to be a son-in-law...

But now that things are getting serious, if they really have the backbone to take responsibility, they won't be stuck with the Lin family, so they run away one after another.

If there are benefits, of course you can go, but if there are disasters, then I'm sorry.

Those three middle-aged people could barely hold on, and some people laughed and asked if there was anything they could do to help...

However, when Jia Qiang insisted on leaving their names, the three of them still left.

They are all dragging their families and can't bear the responsibility.

The last two old people dared to leave their names and home addresses.

Then Jia Qiang sent someone to force her into the carriage and sent her home according to the address.

However, they still did a good job in face. They gave 50 taels of silver to each person, and they also gave each person two hens and a sheep, and made a show of it in the market.

However, after sending them home, Qiqi, the two descendants, was warned and their names were recorded.
