Jia Huan's career in the Red Chamber

On this day, Jia Huan handed in his homework and did not go back home directly as usual.Instead, he went to a bookstore.

Entering the book shop, the book shop is not big, only an old shopkeeper and a young man are busy.

Jia Huan stepped forward and asked, "Are there any new books?"

When the old shopkeeper saw Jia Huan, he pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, please come in."

Jia Huan entered the inner room, looked around, and said to Luoxuan: "You go to Daoxiang Village, and you want some pastries of all kinds." After thinking about it, he said: "It's hard to come out, and I can get two liang of silver for myself. Go buy something you like for your old lady."

Luo Xuan said happily: "Thank you, Lord."

"Okay, let's go."

"Hey, that servant has gone." After finishing speaking, he looked at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan nodded and said: "Go quickly, if you don't go, it will be dark."

Only then did Luo Xuan leave in peace.

The old shopkeeper looked outside the door before saluting in peace, took out the account book from the secret box of the cabinet, and quietly stood behind Jia Huan.

Jia Huan flipped through the ledger and said, "Let everyone come in."

From time to time, four men and a woman came in.

Jia Huan waved the old shopkeeper away, and then said: "Is everything settled?"

The man in the green shirt stepped forward and replied: "The ships that traveled far have returned one after another. Five of them have not yet returned, and three of them have been damaged. According to the master's instructions, the returned ships are slowly being sold. The remaining ten or so ships are going to Siam, Goryeo, Qianxiang, and several neighboring small countries."

Jia Huan nodded and said, "The lost crew members and their families must be properly arranged. As for the extra crew members, they should be selected one by one, and the outstanding ones will be placed on the remaining ships. The poor ones should also be arranged properly."

The man in the blue shirt replied: "It took about a year to arrange the return to the master. There are only five ships that have not returned, and we will make arrangements at that time."

Jia Huan nodded in satisfaction, looked at the boy next to the man in the green shirt, and said with a smile, "Where's yours?"

The boy smiled and said: "Master, the account books are all on the table. The books that were folded into gold are placed in the house behind the book shop. The rest are top-grade gems, jade, fur, medicinal materials, wood, and imported from other countries. tribute."

"A tribute?" Jia Huan asked suspiciously.

The boy curled his lips and said, "Actually, it's the foreign envoys who have played tricks. The top ones are sold to others. The high-quality ones are given to the imperial court. Although it's not too bad, it's also a bit inferior. Also, my lord, you want corals and pearls." What are you doing? It’s not Dongzhu. It’s worthless at all.”

Jia Huan wiped off his sweat when he heard that Pearl was like rubbish, and ignored him.He looked directly at the man in purple.

The purple-clothed man said in a ruffian way: "Master has ordered that we buy defective products from overseas at similar prices to other shops, and we don't make much money."

Jia Huan twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at the enchanting puppet woman in red and gold.

The man smiled coquettishly: "The property has been bought one after another, and there are only a few shops left in other places. There are three shops left in the capital, and one of them is in a good location. There are also three Zhuangzi, a hot spring Zhuangzi, and a hot spring village. , used to grow vegetables. In another place, there is a paddy field, used to grow food. Another place is used to plant fruit trees and flower seedlings for the master to enjoy." After finishing speaking, he raised his orchid finger.

Seeing Jia Huan trembled.

The only woman among the five glared at the man in red before saying, "Master, please follow me."

Jia Huan nodded and walked to the back of the yard.Behind the courtyard is a house with three entrances. The woman in white leads Jia Huan to the study, and then pushes away the bookcase.A white wall was exposed.

Jia Huan looked at the woman suspiciously, only to see that the woman pushed it, and sure enough, a step was exposed.

Seeing the scene in front of him, even Jia Huan, who came out of the wealth heap like this, was also very shocked.It's all gold~~~

When the woman pushed open another storage room, Jia Huan was no longer surprised.

The boy pouted and dragged out a large sandalwood box.Looking at Jia Huan as if asking for credit.

Jia Huan raised his eyebrows: "What is this?"

The woman in white opened the box and said, "Here is a box of high-quality ambergris, which was robbed by that kid Chu Xing from overseas thieves." After speaking, she opened another box and said, "This topaz was also robbed by that kid." .”

When Jia Huan heard Ambergris, the corners of his mouth twitched and the corners of his eyes twitched.He found a box and sat down, looked at Chu Xing with a smile, and said, "Do you know what ambergris is? Do you know what topaz is?"

Seeing his master's smiling face, Chu Xing shivered, leaned forward and said, "Of course I know. Isn't it something used by the royal family? What's so strange about it?" After finishing speaking, he nodded affirmatively. .

Jia Huan stroked his forehead, felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and said helplessly: "Then what's the use of my coming? Do you want me to die?" Looking at the man in the blue shirt, he asked, "Qi Yue doesn't care?"

The man who was questioned by Jia Huan directly picked up the boy named Chu Xing and walked outside.Others also tacitly launched the underground storage room.

Jia Huan looked at the account book and removed the few remaining properties.There are more than 3000 million taels of silver in gems, medicinal materials, wood, glass, porcelain, and gold and silver exchanges.Jia Huan has only one thought now, to get rich and have a carefree life.

After calming down, I put everything in the basement into the space.He exhaled lightly, and slowly walked out of the secret room.

"My lord, help me. Let this man let me go."

Jia Huan nodded lightly, looked at the woman in white, and said, "Peiyu, have you found out whoever followed us last year?"

"Returning to the master, I found out that it is from the court. And..."

"What? Can't tell?"

Peiyu said seriously: "The shop in the south of the Yangtze River was targeted by the government because our goods were new and more expensive. Later, it was found out that it was ordered by the Zhen family."

Jia Huan didn't speak, but stared at Peiyu closely.

"Don't dare to hide it from the master. The shopkeeper and my supervisor were bought together. But the master's information was not disclosed."

"The property is almost sold off, and the rest will not come in for money, and I think it will not be targeted again. The rest of the ship will be collected after a few years. This matter is over."

Jia Huan looked coldly at the five people kneeling on the ground, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "I don't say anything. These industries won't last long. You can come and go as you want. .When I took you in and trained you, I never thought of dragging you for the rest of my life. I won’t say much about the rest, just think about it yourself.”

"Master" five people said in unison

Jia Huan smiled lightly: "What? You still want to spend the rest of your life with me? When I taught you martial arts, there was no contract of sale. It was agreed that you would protect my property and I would share dividends with you. How many of you, some It's already [-] years old, and the youngest Chu Xing is eighteen. Peiyu is also twenty. Want me to support you all your life? You are all rich, don't try to take money from me."

Fu looked at Peiyu again: "Just put what I want in the bookstore." Seeing what the five people were talking about, Jia Huan waved his hand: "Okay, you all have to think it over before you come and talk to me." After finishing speaking, Don't look at them either.Go straight to the inner room of the bookstore.
