The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions

It's really embarrassing, just now it was a gray-haired old doctor, Jia Zhu didn't feel anything, but now it's a young hunter who came in, Jia Zhu saw Xiao Ze's bald lower body exposed in front of him, and felt in his heart Very awkward.

Jia Zhu was awkward, Xiao Ze also felt awkward, and then he began to regret it in his heart, why was he so careless, peeking at Jia Zhu, Xiao Ze thought, this time Jia Zhu was very angry, hey, what is going on The thing is, I can't get close enough in the capital, I finally got outside, and I was in a hurry and didn't have time, I finally had time, and I happened to bump into a bandit's black shop, and finally cracked the cottage, the Meng family brothers It's also online, what a coincidence that it hurts such a place!

Xiao Ze soon lost his mind to think about these things, because after the Orion said that he could treat the wound, he began to prepare things. The knife was roasted red, and the first step was to clean up the carrion. The knife went down , Xiao Ze used all his mind to resist the severe pain, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth, tasted the taste of blood in his mouth, but didn't feel the pain in his lips.

Xiao Ze's first thought was that the pain of the wound seemed to cover up the pain of biting his lip, but when he raised his eyes, he was stunned. Jia Zhu stretched out his arm, and his hand was touching his own. in the mouth.

Just at the moment when Xiao Ze gritted his teeth in pain, Jia Zhu quickly put his finger into Xiao Ze's mouth, and Xiao Ze bit Jia Zhu's finger hard just now, crushing Jia Zhu's finger Bite blood.

Xiao Ze wanted to stretch out his hand and pull Jia Zhu's hand out, but his body in severe pain couldn't exert any strength at all. Although he tried hard not to grit his teeth as much as possible, but when the wound was treated, Jia Zhu's hand also had more Several rows of tooth marks.

The wound was covered with golden sore medicine and re-bandaged, and he drank hemostatic medicine, painkiller and sleeping medicine. After falling asleep in a daze, Xiao Ze subconsciously held Jia Zhu's body tightly with both hands. wrist.

When Xiao Ze woke up again, it was already dark and Jia Zhu was lying on the head of the bed and was falling asleep. The moment Xiao Ze woke up and moved, Jia Zhu's eyes also opened. Xiao Ze clearly saw that Jia Zhu's Both eyes were bloodshot, and the moment they met his own eyes, he showed an expression of ecstasy.

"You have been in a coma for three days and have been feverish. If you don't wake up, I plan to send you back to the capital." Jia Zhu said in a hoarse voice.

"Water..." Xiao Ze said, his voice was also hoarse.

Jia Zhu handed over the water, Xiao Ze moved, raised his arm and pushed the water glass to Jia Zhu's mouth: "You drink, look at how hoarse your voice is!"

Jia Zhu froze for a moment, then poured another glass of water, the two of them had a glass of water and no one had to give in. At this moment, Xiao Ze really felt a very dry cough, and he drank three glasses of water before he let out a comfortable breath.

"It's time to change the dressing. If it hurts, you can bite this." After Jia Zhu finished speaking, she took out a stack of thick towels and stuffed them to Xiao Ze, and then took out the golden sore medicine.

Xiao Ze grabbed Jia Zhu's hand and carefully looked at the teeth marks that were still clearly visible on it: "Bite so hard, it must have hurt."

Jia Zhu pulled out her hand: "No matter how painful it is, it's not as painful as you are tossing about yourself!"

Even though Xiao Ze was belatedly aware at this time, he also found that Jia Zhu's attitude was frighteningly cold.

A cold tone, a cold movement, but eyes can't fool anyone, and caring can't fool anyone. Xiao Ze knew that his careless injury this time made Jia Zhu angry. It seems to be soft, but in fact he is very stubborn in his bones. It will take time to calm him down.

However, Xiao Ze has a well-thought-out method to calm Jia Zhu down.

No.90 The five-time imperial envoy commander Zou Kai also went to Xiao Ze and Jia Zhu to visit friends in Jinan

Xiao Ze's injury was dangerous because of the high fever in the first few days. After the past few days, the rest of the day is to heal this wound. Of course, the most painful thing at this time is the twice a day After changing the dressing, Xiao Ze would break out in a cold sweat every time he changed the dressing. If it was someone else who changed the dressing, maybe Xiao Ze would grit his teeth and stand firm, but because Jia Zhu did it himself, Xiao Ze would like to take advantage of this time to soften Jia Zhu's heart.

In addition, it is taboo to get wet on the wound, if it is still hot today, Xiao Ze is still lying in bed all day, without taking a bath for a day, Xiao Ze will feel that his whole body is sticky and uncomfortable, so he goes to bed every day Before, Xiao Ze was lying naked on the bed, and Jia Zhu wiped his body with a towel dipped in hot water.

Another point is that the problem of convenience is also very tricky, if the wound is accidentally soiled, it will be bad, so when Xiao Ze wanted to urinate, Jia Zhu took the smallest chamber pot without changing expression. , put the entire mouth of the pot in a convenient place for Xiao Ze, in the quiet environment, the two of them stared wide-eyed, only the sound of "哗哗" could be heard in their ears, no matter how thick-skinned Xiao Ze was, he still had the urge to hit the wall up.

During these days of recuperating from injuries, Xiao Ze finally got Jia Zhu to stop his sullen face in exchange for his lip-smacking promise that he would not let the injury happen again.

Yuanbao Village became a temporary garrison, Jia Zhu stayed behind and took care of Xiao Ze at the same time, while Xiao Cheng led most of the troops to support Su Zhengqin.

It was just dawn on this day, and Jia Zhu had just finished practicing in the yard. Before he could go back to the house, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door. When I heard it, I went straight to the courtyard where I practiced martial arts.

"Lord Jia, Commander Xiao and his troops are almost reaching the entrance of the village."

Jia Zhu is overjoyed, Xiao Cheng's return means that Su Zhengqin's affairs have also come to a successful conclusion: "The team should have been on their way overnight, and they ordered the kitchen to prepare more breakfast, and the big guys will have a good meal when they come back later." .”

No matter how good the breakfast was, it was breakfast after all, and there was no preparation in the kitchen. They just used extra rice to make several pots of porridge. As Jia Zhu expected, the team rushed back to Yuanbao Village overnight, and everyone was hungry. , Facing the hot porridge, almost everyone can't wait to drink a pot. There are still few preparations in the kitchen, so let's do it in a hurry.

When he was almost full, Jia Zhu brought Xiao Cheng and Su Zhengqin to Xiao Ze's room, and told what happened to Su Zhengqin.

The brigade has been rectified for two days. At this time, an edict official came from the capital, and the edict asked Xiao Cheng to escort the people captured by Su Zhengqin to testify that they would commit crimes against the capital. Beads accompany protection.

That's it, on the third day Xiao Cheng and Su Zhengqin returned to the capital together with the eunuchs who came to deliver the decree, leaving only Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze in Shandong.

Jia Zhu knew in her heart that this was the time specially set aside by the emperor for the second thing. However, Xiao Ze's injury was indeed not easy to heal, but as the days passed, Xiao Ze felt that it was not an option to stay like this all the time. , then discussed with Jia Zhu: "Now the degree of wound healing does not affect travel. As long as the carriage is prepared more comfortably and you walk slowly along the way, it will not be a hindrance. It is better than staying here every day."

Jia Zhu thought about it and thought it would be better, so he asked people to prepare a carriage. This Yuanbao Village is in the mountains and forests, with luxuriant trees. Made a big and spacious compartment out.

Jia Zhu personally spread out the quilts on the left and right floors in the carriage, making it more comfortable than the bed, and specially used two horse-drawn carts to make the carriage more stable. Jia Zhu accompanied Liu Fang and four other servants, ready to go on the road.

Jia Zhu was willing to ride beside the carriage, but Xiao Ze disagreed, saying that he was too bored in the carriage and asked Jia Zhu to talk with him. The carriage was really big enough for two people to lie side by side, and the carriage left. It was slow, and this time it was an extremely smooth official path if he was not in a hurry, so Xiao Ze's journey did not affect the wound at all, but because of the frequent activities, the wound healed faster.

This day came to the territory of Jinan Prefecture. This time, the two were very low-key. They only said that they were brothers in business. They didn't reveal their true identities at all. They drove the carriage into the city gate, and the sun had already set to the west. Jia Zhu first parked the carriage by the side of the road where there were not many people, and then asked the two servants to go to the city to find an inn.

Not long after, both of them came back, and Jia Zhu chose the best Chen's old shop from the reports of the two. The servant led the way in front, and the group came to the front of the Chen's old shop.

Jia Zhu looked up, and the servant was not exaggerating. This old Chen family shop is indeed quite wealthy. There are four floors in front of the whole old shop. The first and second floors are restaurants, the third and fourth floors are guest rooms, and the back There were also four courtyards, each with eight rooms. Jia Zhu booked a courtyard, and then asked the staff to prepare food and drink.

In the morning of the second day, Xiao Ze was still sound asleep, and Jia Zhu strolled to the front after finishing his exercises in the yard. The clerk was cleaning the table, and a few clerks were cleaning the door of the store. Everyone was preparing to open the shop. See Jia Zhu came in from behind, and one of the guys came down to meet him.

"Master, you got up early enough, do you want breakfast? Do you want to eat in our shop or go out?"

"Let's eat it in the store. Just prepare a little and deliver it to the yard later. Don't forget to prepare it for my entourage and servants too." Jia Zhu ordered.

"Understood, sir, I'll send it to you in a while. Do you have any other orders?" The guy was extremely enthusiastic. After all, if he can hire a family that spans the courtyard and even feeds the servants, he must be rich and generous. They all worked hard to serve Jia Zhu well, and waited for Jia Zhu and the others to give more rewards when they left, so they were very enthusiastic.

"Let me ask you, who is the best doctor in your Jinan Prefecture?" Jia Zhu asked.

"If you want to say that the best doctor in Jinan Prefecture, it must be Jishantang. This Jishantang is the most famous century-old shop in Jinan Prefecture. The doctors who can visit Jishantang are all the best." The waiter quickly replied road.

"Oh? Then where is Jishantang?"

"It's not far, it's just three streets away from our inn, sir, if it's still too early today, the Jishan Hall won't open until an hour later, if you don't want to leave by then, I'll go and invite the doctor for you. What do you think?" The clerk longed for a chance to run errands.

Jia Zhu nodded after thinking about it, "That's fine, but remember to invite the best doctor, understand?" After finishing speaking, Jia Zhu took out a certain amount of money from his bosom and gave it to the guy.

The guy didn't smile when he took it, and he agreed repeatedly. Jia Zhu turned around and went back to the courtyard. After a while, breakfast was brought over. Jia Zhu woke Xiao Ze up. After the two of them had breakfast, they waited for about half a day. An hour later, the man's voice sounded at the gate of Kuayuan.

"Master, I have invited you, doctor."

Liu Fang went to the door and welcomed the doctor in. Jia Zhu looked up and saw that it was an old man, and nodded in satisfaction. The old doctor came in and went to Xiao Ze's bed, first checked the wound, then took the pulse, and finally After looking at the golden sore medicine that Xiao Ze used all the time, he stroked his beard and said.

"It's not a serious problem if the patient's injury is treated in time. The medicine for golden sores is also high-quality and there is no need to change it. It's just that it's not good at all. The old man has to prescribe a prescription for him to clear the poison."

"Poison?" Jia Zhu was taken aback, "Could it be that this injury is still poisonous?"

The old doctor shook his head again and again: "That's not what he meant, but the dry poison accumulated in the patient's body during the period of recuperation, if it is not discharged, it will do great harm to the body."

To put it bluntly, during the days when Xiao Ze was recovering from his injuries, he ate and slept when he was full every day, and even lay down when he was not sleeping, which caused a lot of heat poison to accumulate in his body. The doctor's prescription this time is Clean him up of this dry poison, but this will make Xiao Ze suffer.

After drinking this dryness-clearing and poisonous medicine, people will become frequent visitors to the latrine. Only Xiao Ze's leg is injured now, and it hurts after standing for a long time, let alone squatting down. He also squats on the toilet during the day, Xiao Ze likes to be clean the most, how can he stand such things in the house, he can't even eat.

Seeing Xiao Ze's bitter face, the rest of Jia Zhu's anger was calmed down. With this suffering, Jia Zhu knew that Xiao Ze would not dare to be so rash again in the future.

As Xiao Ze cursed to tear down the old man's pharmacy, his puffy flesh these days also quickly fell off, and he felt much more energetic, and he would not feel bored all the time, and his wounds healed better than before Much faster.

When the wound was covered with thick scabs, he would not feel any pain at all when the medicine was applied again, and walking was no longer strenuous. Xiao Ze was not a person who could lie down, so he took Jia Zhu and started to visit Jinan Mansion.

This day, I was walking on the bustling East Street. The houses along the road were all shops, and there were stalls on both sides of the street. In front of a painting and calligraphy studio, I saw Meng Anyi walking out of the painting and calligraphy studio accompanied by a tall, white-faced man.

The four met each other, Meng Anyi recognized Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze, opened his mouth and before he could say anything, Jia Zhu cupped his fists at Meng Anyi first: "Brother Meng, don't come here and be safe."

Meng Anyi nodded, and then said: "Brother Jia didn't tell me when he came to Jinan Mansion. If I knew you were here, I would have sent someone to pick you up."

Jia Zhu smiled, glanced at the stranger next to Meng Anyi, and then said: "Since Brother Meng has guests, I will definitely visit him someday."

After parting ways and saying goodbye, Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze continued to walk forward. After walking for a while, they arrived at the door of a teahouse. Said: "The guy with the white face just now, who do you think he is?"

Why did Jia Zhu ask such a question? It's because the aura of that man is hard to ignore. The man's appearance is just plain. Standing in the crowd with that face will never attract anyone's attention, but his aura is It made people look sideways, and Jia Zhu noticed that this person knew kung fu, not bad, and his eyes were particularly bright. He didn't look righteous, at least he wasn't a treacherous person.

Xiao Ze stroked his chin, suddenly smiled and said, "He smells like the sea."

"You mean, he is..." At this moment when the clerk served tea, Jia Zhu kept silent, and when the clerk left, Jia Zhu continued: "If he really came from the south, then come at this time, this time Things are interesting."

Xiao Ze nodded, took a sip of tea, and raised his eyebrows: "Looking at it this way, we are right to not be in a hurry. We are not in a hurry, but some people are. In such a big Jinan Prefecture, it happens that we can meet in front of a shop." , this coincidence is quite interesting."

The two laughed tacitly, and it seemed that it would be fine to wait and see what happened next. Sure enough, Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze did not move. Early on the third morning, the Meng family sent someone to the Chen family's old shop to invite Jia Zhu Get together with Xiao Ze across the house.

The Meng Mansion occupies a very large area, and the house is also extraordinarily grand. Today, in the living room of the Meng Family, apart from Meng Anyi and the white-faced man he had seen that day, there was also a thin and not tall man. This man was dark and swarthy. The black is so bright, the chin is pointed, the eyes are small, blinking, and there is always a smile on his face.

What surprised Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze was that Meng Anyi didn't even lay the groundwork this time, and directly introduced the identities of these two people: "This is Yan Song, the owner of Fujian Luhua Island, this It is Hu Zhi, the owner of the second island."

Unexpectedly, the thin monkey-like man was the owner of the second island. Jia Zhu took a few more glances at him and saw that his eyes were always wandering, but there was nothing evil about him. He thought that this man must be full of bad water. He was a dog-headed military division, so Jia Zhu was a little more careful about him.

The other party didn't hide anything, Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze also reported their families openly, Yan Song and Hu Zhi naturally focused all their attention on Xiao Ze who is the prince, Jia Zhu took it for granted He was understood as a follower and ignored.

That's fine, Jia Zhu thought, Xiao Ze should play the leading role on this occasion, and he just stood by and watched with cold eyes to see what the intentions and plans of these two island owners are. In their bones, they all have a different taste from the law-abiding ordinary people. It is easy to correct the evil and return to the righteous. If a bad person becomes a wolf into the house, that is a heinous sin.

At this time, Hu Zhi was already smiling and said: "I have heard about the name of the lord for a long time, and I am lucky to meet Sansheng today. We two brothers can have the opportunity to sit with the lord, so there is no need to hide it anymore." , We have also heard the news that the imperial court wants to recruit, but we don't know if the news is true or not?"

One sentence was indeed straightforward enough, Xiao Ze did not answer, but also asked: "I have also heard that many pirates have colluded with foreigners overseas to collude with the enemy and betray the country. I don't know if this news is true or not. Fake?"

For a while, neither of the two people answered each other's words, and the atmosphere was a little stiff. Finally, Hu Zhi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, although we are pirates and our nicknames are all thieves, this person is not born to be a thief. We also know how bad the reputation of being a thief is, but there is nothing we can do about it. If there is another way, who would like to be a thief? Besides, even if you become a thief, it is just to make a living Eat, everyone is a citizen of the Celestial Dynasty. 800 years ago, the ancestors belonged to the same family. Even if they were thieves, they did the kind of thing that colluded with foreign devils. Among us thieves, everyone despises this thing the most. However, there is also a saying, People make money and birds die for food, so many people can't guarantee that everyone is good, and occasionally there are one or two bad ones, and the prince can't think that our pot of soup is so good just because of these stinky fish no?"

This Hu Zhi doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable, he speaks one set of things, although it is vulgar, but it doesn't sound harsh, it's the first time for Jia Zhu to deal with such a person, and it's quite fresh to hear him say this kind of thing, Xiao Ze heard it There was also a smile on his face, and he said, "Since that's the case, this road will not only shed your thieves' skin, but also eat Shangguankou's food, so why do you have any hesitation?" ?”

After Xiao Ze finished speaking, Hu Zhi was a little dazed. He didn't expect that a dignified prince would even speak in tune with him, but he didn't know that Xiao Ze had been in charge of the Tianting Department for many years, and under his command there were people like Zhao Ningchuan and Zheng Hang. Such literati and wise men also include people from the market and the rivers and lakes. Xiao Ze will also say what he sees.

That Hu Zhi is worthy of being a clever man, but he was stunned for a while, and then laughed again: "As you said, my lord, who wouldn't like to eat from an official's mouth? It's just that the salary of an official appointed by the court is from an official's mouth." Damn, aren't the prisoners in this prison also official? We, the island owners, can't lead all the brothers under our command into the prison, and then obediently stick out our heads and tell you to chop them all up with a knife. no?"

No.90 Six times, I knew it well and set off to return to Beijing. The children of the Jia family are young and ambitious

In the final analysis, the matter of recruiting safety is all about trust. After all, the past is vivid, and there is no easy way to choose in front of these pirates.

At this moment, Xiao Ze didn't speak. Yan Song, the big island owner who had been silent for a long time, spoke for the first time. His voice was a little cold, but calm. He only heard him say: "Our [-] brothers in Luhua Island, Even if the imperial court wants to recruit security, how can there be these official positions to settle everyone. These brothers are used to the days of licking blood on the sword, if they are allowed to go home and farm, I am afraid that in the end, they will become thieves again. "

Xiao Ze nodded after listening, Jia Zhu saw that he didn't speak, and knew that he was thinking about whether to tell the story of the shipping. After all, the emperor was very excited about this matter, and once the shipping was opened, the first question would come one after another. Even the sea-going ships, the sea-going ships needed to transport grain by sea are extremely scarce, and the focus of shipbuilding is on the side of river ships. The court also urgently needs craftsmen who can build sea-going ships, and sailors who can escort grain by sea. These positions are enough to satisfy Luhua Island. people need.

It's just that there is no final conclusion on this matter, Xiao Ze can't tell in advance at this time, but Xiao Ze's silence has had a good effect, Yan Song and Hu Zhi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

In their minds, if Xiao Ze is full of promises and vows, they will be suspicious, thinking that the imperial court is insincere and nothing more than vain, and now Xiao Ze's hesitation and contemplation make them finally understand that the imperial court really intends to recruit The group of them.

Meng Anyi has been watching from the side. Seeing the expressions on both sides, Meng Anyi smiled and said, "The house has prepared bouillon, why don't you move around?"

The banquet held by the Meng family has the characteristics of Shandong cuisine. Every time a dish is served, Meng Anyi, the owner, will explain the origin and allusion of the lotus with witty words. It seemed very lively—although there were only a few people on the wine table.

Because Xiao Ze was still injured, just as he picked up the wine glass, Jia Zhu glared at him and put down the wine glass. Meng Anyi's younger brother, Meng Anbao, was also on the wine table. Probably after this kidnapping experience, Meng Anbao looks much calmer now up.

This time the meeting with the two island owners of Luhua Island came to nothing, but both sides had a certainty in their hearts. Since then, Jia Zhu and Xiao Ze decided to leave for Beijing.

When they returned to the capital, it was already autumn, and the two went back to their homes. Xiao Ze went to discuss the pirates with the emperor and didn't mention it, but said that Jia Zhu returned to Jia's mansion and thought of Jia's mother badly. Before the ceremony could be done, she was pulled into her arms by Jia's mother. This hearty meal made Jia Zhu's face turn red.

Naren Tuoya smiled, and Jia Mu let go of Jia Zhu, and also laughed, "Look at me, I'm old and disrespectful, your wife is ashamed of me."

Naren Tuoya said: "How can that be? It's the nature of the grandparents. The old lady loves the uncle. Others love the young ones, but not the big ones. Our family is just the opposite."

After Naren Tuoya finished speaking, Baoyu also said: "That's right, once the elder brother comes back, the old lady won't love me anymore."

Baoyu can speak fluently now, and the old lady told everyone that her grandson spoke faster than other children, and he was very clever, but the child had a great forgetfulness, and it was only a few months later that Baoyu told Jia Zhu The impression is already very vague, but I always hear Jia Lian and Jia Cong mentioning the elder brother.

Baoyu was very afraid of his old man, Jia Zheng, but Baoyu felt at first sight that the eldest brother was not a strict person who had a gentle smile on his face when he entered the door, so he was not afraid of him, and even booed with his sister-in-law.

After hearing this, Jia Mu hugged Baoyu and said, "I love you too, little monkey."

He pulled Jia Zhu again and said a lot of words, and then Mother Jia let Jia Zhu go back to pay his respects to his parents. Mrs. Wang's illness was still not improving. Yuan Chun was serving at Mrs. Wang's bed. I also missed them very much. Jia Zhu asked about Mrs. Wang's illness, and Yuan Chun sighed.

"The imperial physician has said that mother is just like this. Fortunately, our family is not short of money now. Mother can always afford these supplements and medicines. The imperial physician also said that mother is still good, but she is not insane. I am clear, but I can walk around, and if I get mixed up with someone who collapsed on the bed, I will suffer within a year."

Jia Zhu nodded. There are wounded soldiers in the army who can only lie on the bed because of injuries. The most terrifying thing is that if things go on like this, the flesh on their bodies will sink, and the whole person will become skinny, and Mrs. Wang can still walk now, with someone accompanying her After coaxing her to walk around, there is finally no big problem with her body.

When Jia Zhu went to the front to meet his father Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng naturally asked him how the errand was going, and also asked about the prince's injury, and finally waved him away.

Jia Zhu felt that his father's mood seemed a little unsettled, but he knew his father's current attitude, and he couldn't find anything if he asked him, so it was better to ask someone else. As soon as he went out, Jia Zhu turned around and found Jia Zheng's servant, Jia Yi. .

"How is the master feeling recently?" Jia Zhu asked.

Jia Yi looked around and saw no one, so he lowered his voice and said, "Master, I don't know if you heard after you came back, that the eldest girl is engaged."

Jia Zhu was startled, and quickly asked, "What? I'm engaged, and which family is it?" Jia Zhu asked, thinking that when she saw Yuan Chun in her mother's room just now, she didn't propose marriage to herself. Is this marriage the one that Yuan Chun had in mind?

Jia Yi shook his head: "Master, the master is angry because of the elder girl's marriage! You also know that our master likes scholars the most, and has always wanted the elder girl to marry a scholar like the fourth aunt, but unexpectedly, in Half a month ago, someone came to propose a marriage, and the matchmaker they invited was an incredible person, that was the old concubine of the old Prince Ling Lizong of the Clan Mansion."

Jia Zhu's heart moved, the old prince Lizong was Kang Zhenyuan's grandfather, and the old concubine came forward, could it be because of Zhao Feng?It's just... Jia Zhu asked: "I'm asking you, the one who came to propose marriage, but Zhao Feng from the Zhao family, the boy of Captain Long Jinwei?"

Jia Yi nodded and then shook his head, Jia Zhu frowned: "Is it true or not? What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"

Jia Yi hurriedly said: "Master, I nodded because the suitor was indeed Zhao Feng, the son of the Zhao family, but I shook my head because this Mr. Zhao is no longer the captain of the Long Jinwei. Went to the Dingbei Capital Protectorate, it is said that he made great contributions there, and now he has served as a doctor of the Ministry of War."

Transferred from a bodyguard to the sixth department, the future is not the same. After hearing this, Jia Zhu nodded frequently, and understood why her father was in a bad mood.

Zhao Feng is a pure rough person. In terms of writing, he just knows how to read and write without being blind. He is far from the scholar his father likes. However, his father deliberately refuses to agree to this marriage. The Jia family can't afford to offend their identity, and with Zhao Feng's current future and blood as the son of the princess, there is nothing to say about matching Yuanchun.

The father was holding his breath, and Jia Zhu laughed secretly. The father-in-law always disliked his son-in-law, let alone his father's current mood, but his father was sullen, and Jia Zhu was happy for Yuanchun from the bottom of his heart, no wonder the girl didn't mention this just now , It seems that I am embarrassed to mention it.

Zhao Feng is also a good kid. In a short period of time, he first entered the Long Banwei for the second time, and then became a celebrity in front of the emperor. Then he used this opportunity to go to the Duhu Mansion and made meritorious service. Yuan Chun followed He won't suffer.

Inquiring from Jia Yi the reason for her father's unhappiness, Jia Zhu walked towards her yard with a smile in her eyes and mouth, and just when she reached the gate of the yard, she heard Jia Lian's voice from inside the yard. inside.

"Brother!" Jia Lian had been waiting here for Jia Zhu's return since she came out of the old lady's room. Jia Zhu came back after drinking two cups of tea.

"What, looking for me in a hurry?" Jia Zhu asked him to sit down, and then Xin Lan made Jia Zhu a cup of Biluochun.

"Brother, let me tell you that one month ago, my grandfather helped me buy a shop on East Street. If I opened an antique shop, although the business is not very good, I can still make some money. My grandfather takes [-]% of the profit." , Cong'er gets [-]%, big sister also gets [-]%, Rong'er gets [-]%, and the rest is mine." Jia Lian excitedly said to Jia Zhu.

I think that when my eldest brother was eight years old, he opened Ruijinfang in Jiangnan and had his own private money. Later, the eldest brother also took out all the private money he had earned over the years, and now the eldest brother takes half of it. The Zuiyun Building is the number one restaurant in Beijing. Jia Lian's ears are callused when he hears these things. When he can't sleep at night, Jia Lian thinks about it over and over again. In vain, he still thinks he is quite talented in management. Now he is 11 At the age of eight, he was not as promising as his elder brother when he was eight years old.

Later, Jia Lian also made up his mind to do something on his own, but he asked the girl to take out his small treasury to calculate the private money, which was too little, so he asked Jia Cong, Yuan Chun and Jia Rong to raise funds It was far from enough. Later, it was Jia Cong who leaked the story to Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu gave his full support. First, he borrowed a sum of money from Jia Lian to rent the shop, and then invested a sum of money in the shop.

In this way, Jia Lian's shop was opened. From the influence of the shop to the income, it is naturally far behind Jia Zhu's back then, but compared with these friends around him, he immediately saw the superiority.

Needless to say, those people went on official careers, most of the rest of them just walked around every day looking for flowers and didn't do their jobs, making Jia Lian look very promising.

At the end of a month, calculate the income and distribute it to a few people who invested in it. Children like Jia Cong usually rely on the monthly money and the money rewarded by adults from time to time. This is the first time that they have received dividends. After discussing, they also set up a banquet for the adults in the family. When the adults knew about it, they all praised Jia Lian for being sensible.

Jia Lian was happy in his heart, but he still thought that if Jia Zhu could praise him, it would be considered satisfactory. No, as soon as Jia Zhu came home, Jia Lian held back in Jia's mother's room, and when he came out, Jia Lian couldn't wait. Then he came to Jia Zhu's room.

It is a good thing that the younger brother is promising. Faced with this situation, Jia Zhu never hesitated to praise him. With Jia Zhu's affirmation, Jia Lian's face was flushed and he was jumping with joy.

"I thought, now the second younger sister, third younger sister, and Baoyu are still young, and when they grow up, I will also ask them to invest in money, and give them dividends in proportion to how much they invest. By then, everyone will have a private house." Money, big brother, you are much richer than me, I don't count you in this kind of dividend." Jia Lian's calculations were quite precise.

"You really are promising, kid. Well, it's what a brother should do if he can think about his younger siblings." Jia Zhu felt even more satisfied.

"I learned this from my elder brother. Another thing. When the shop was first set up, Uncle Xue also wanted to invest in it, but I didn't agree. I know that Uncle Xue is entrusted with the job of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Big Brother’s connections, when the time comes, he will invest money in my shop, if it is not clear in the end, it will hurt the relationship of relatives for no reason, it would be bad if Big Brother owes favors to him After Jia Lian finished speaking, Jia Zhu looked up at him, feeling sincerely relieved.

If you have ambition and a goal, you start to act step by step. Gu Nian's younger brother and sister are good brothers, and they can think a little more about everything and take family matters to heart. Good sister, is it Jia Lian who refuses to touch the ground with her little feet?

Just at this moment, a little girl's voice came from outside the door.

"The third master is here." Before the little girl finished speaking, the door curtain was lifted, Jia Cong came in from the outside, saw Jia Lian here at a glance, and shouted: "Brother disappeared in a blink of an eye, guess you It's here with Big Brother!"

Jia Cong was sweating profusely, and he was still dressed in short skirts. It looked like he had just come from the martial arts training ground. Jia Zhu asked him to sit down to cool off his sweat. Afterwards, Xin Lan also prepared tea and brought it up. Jia Cong gurgled It wasn't too hot and he drank everything, and now he was out of breath.

Jia Zhu asked him: "This is not the time for martial arts, why, now you have extra time to practice martial arts?"

Jia Cong nodded: "Brother, I plan to try martial arts this time."

Now that Jia Cong is ten years old, he will be a martial arts scholar in the final test. With his current ability, there will be no problem. Jia Zhu naturally agrees. Jia Cong is getting older day by day. Although he is still a very straightforward person, he also has him When outsiders mentioned the young master of the Jia family, they all praised Jia Zhu full of praise. Now Jia Lian also started to fumble and start his own shop, and Jia Cong also wanted to make a name for himself, so he came up with the idea of ​​martial arts.

Originally, with the current family background of the Jia family, there was no need to take the path of martial arts, but Jia Cong thought in his heart, seeing Jia Rong's current vigor, he would definitely be born in the imperial examination in the future, and he also wanted to fight for the Rongguo Mansion. , the text is not good, Jia Cong is still very passionate to be a martial arts champion
