Tong Jia anecdote

<eight two>

Soon, the waiter brought a small plate of salt-baked peanuts and a pot of scalding hot wine, and set them up one by one, "The dishes are all ready, sir, please take your time."

Tong Jiu glanced at the so-called "old rules" that were slightly shabby, and never thought that Mr. Zhang asked the waiter to bring a wine glass, poured the wine and said, "Since you and I can sit together, it is fate, drink a glass of water How's the wine?"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. It's a pity that I still have business to do, and I'm afraid I'll disappoint your kindness." Tong Jiu clasped his hands and politely refused.

Mr. Zhang is right when he thinks about it, this early in the morning, it's fine for him, an unwilling idler, to come out to get drunk, why bother to spoil young people.

"It's okay." He raised his hand, drank all the turbid wine in his hand, reached out and grabbed a large handful of salt-baked nuts on the plate, put it on the table in front of Tong Jiu, and said, "Then Eat peanuts." As he spoke, he pinched a peanut and put it in his mouth, pouring himself a drink.

Tong Jiu saw that he grabbed more than half of the peanuts in the small dish and gave him more than half.It can be seen that he is a straightforward person, deeply feeling that this person is very true to his nature, eating the peanuts on the table, and chatting with him, "May I ask where the master is?"

"Your name 'Sir' is also appropriate. I read some books in the government school of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in my early years, and I know a few Manchu and Chinese characters, so I have been living by teaching." Speaking of these, Mr. Zhang has a lot of words Some laughed at themselves, "A few days ago, because I couldn't get used to the stench of the rich wine and meat, I am now at home at home."

Hearing that he was a teacher, Tong Jiu tilted his head to look at this person again, and before going out, he said that he wanted to find a teacher for Su Le and the others, and then he came, but he didn't know how knowledgeable he was.

After thinking about it, he tentatively said, "The so-called world does not have teachers, so the Tao overflows. If the teacher does not exist, the Tao does not exist. I think I was stubborn and uneducated when I was young. When I am a little older, I know the value of gentleness, but I can't help it." Falling in the middle of the road."

What Tong Jiu said was true, "Nowadays when you study business, you are mostly running around for your livelihood, and you are far away from gentleness."

Hearing what she said, Mr. Zhang nodded sympathetically.

Tong Jiu said again, "Throughout the ages, scholars, farmers, and businessmen. Some people not only value agriculture over business, but even emphasize agriculture over business. I just want to ask you, sir, what's your opinion on this?"

Mr. Zhang took a sip of wine and said, "Without agriculture, there is no stability, and without business, there is no life. Business travel is not good, and goods cannot be transported from north to south. Goods cannot be transported from north to south, and things cannot be used to their full potential. The tax of the country will be reduced."

After taking a sip of wine, he smiled and pointed to the old hairless collar on his own neck, and said, "Taxers are the foundation of the country, such a skin. If there is no tax, there will be no soldiers, and if there are no soldiers, the world will be in chaos. How can it be attached to such a detached hair?"

Tong Jiu patted the table and praised, "What Mr. said is very true, everything has been said in my heart, that's what I think."

Excited and loudly said, "If the Qing Dynasty wants to reproduce the atmosphere of the Holy Tang Dynasty, and want to last forever, then it must emphasize commerce. Let the goods of the whole world be circulated, so that the merchants of the whole world can exchange what they need, Become a mutual relationship. Then we will be in the Qing Dynasty——"

"Who is here to spoil my Daqing atmosphere with brazen words?" Tong Jiu was interrupted by someone when he was talking excitedly.

It turned out that when the two of them were talking, a few young people came in at some point in the store.The one who leads Huang Qingcang and lifts the cage to set up the bird looks like a playboy on the bannerman's door.

The one who spoke was surrounded by stars like the moon, so he should be younger than himself.

I saw that man standing in the distance, sneering at Tong Jiu and Mr. Zhang, saying, "Peddlers make the people's hearts impetuous, waste agriculture, and shake the foundation of the country." He raised his head with his hands behind his back, and said, "There is a saying in ancient books that scholar-bureaucrats are not mixed with others. Business."

Just as Tong Jiu was about to speak, he heard him say contemptuously, "Businessmen who go out of the country are not allowed to talk to scholars."

"Hey!" Tong Jiu was about to take a few steps forward to reason with him.

He was hurriedly stopped by the shopkeeper who came after hearing the quarrel, and hurriedly pushed her back, and whispered anxiously to Tong Jiu, "Hurry up, this is Young Master Yongxi Belle, it's not something you and I can afford .I have something to ask of him, but please don't spoil my big business here."

After speaking, he hurriedly greeted the group of people with a smile, and said, "Master Baylor, how can you have the same knowledge as these people, can you? It's because the little one came out late and let them bump into you. Please forgive me." Looking at them, he said, "Everyone, please go upstairs to the private room."

Tong Jiu nodded clearly, and said, "You are Yongxi from Prince Yi's mansion?"

"It's me, Little Belle, what's the matter?" Yongxi looked at Tong Jiu and Mr. Zhang, and warned, "I'm telling you, the Qing Dynasty is not something you poor people can talk about. Keep your mouth shut and don't worry about it." Talking nonsense, looking for smoke!"

"Jiuye, Jiuye!" Shen Jianping grabbed Tong Jiu and persuaded him in a low voice, "There are a lot of them, let's go back first. If there is anything, let's talk at home. There are so many people here, you forgot about the Qiangren Mansion That's it, let's go back first."

Yongxi walked upstairs with a group of people, and asked the shopkeeper, "By the way, how is your money?"

"It's only been two days, Lord Baylor, watch your feet." The voice of the conversation faded away.

"If the sky wants it to die, it will make it crazy." Mr. Zhang was still drinking wine and eating peanuts in a leisurely manner.

Tong Jiu cupped his hands to Mr. Zhang, and said, "I respect your talent and learning, and I would like to recommend you to teach in a private school in Huizhengsheng Hanfu. If you are interested, you might as well come to the mansion and have a try."

"Huizhengsheng Han's family?" Mr. Zhang read hesitantly. He was usually poor and had no money to save, so he had obviously never heard of this place.

"I don't know Mr.'s name yet." Tong Jiu asked.

"My next one is Zhang Yiquan." Mr. Zhang wanted to get up and leave the table to see him off.

"Mr. stay here." After Tong Jiulin went out, he called the waiter and asked him to add some hot dishes to Zhang Yiquan, and then cut up two catties of sauced beef.

On the way back, Tong Jiu was gloomy and silent.

Shen Jianping knew that she must have lost her mind because of Yongxi's confrontation with her, so she tried to persuade her, "Master Jiu, after all, he is Lord Belle. If there is going to be a quarrel, we will be the ones who will suffer after all if we enter the clan's house. Besides, they I don't know your identity, so just let him play for a while."

"How's the deal going?" Tong Jiu dismounted at the gate of Huizhengsheng.

"I went in to have a look at their back house. Although it has been dilapidated for a long time. But in that location, according to the current market price, it can still be worth [-] yuan." When it comes to business matters, Shen Jianping is a little more serious. Said, "But he wants to borrow [-], I have to go back and discuss it with the shopkeeper."

"10 taels of silver, what do you want to do with this money?" The servant on the porter ran out to lead the horse, and Tong Jiu stepped into the gate of the mansion.

"There is an eldest son in their family who has never been successful. He has been running this restaurant for several years and has saved some money. He wants to borrow some money from us to buy an official for his son and change his family." Shen Jian Ping said, "Wouldn't this delay the relationship with Yongxi Baylor, Prince Yi's mansion?"

Walking to the back door of Huizhengsheng, Shen Jianping stood still and said, "Everything has been cleared up now, just wait for our money to be settled."

Tong Jiu thought about it for a while, and said, "I won't go to the stall, you go in and tell the shopkeeper. Just tell me what I said, let's lend him the money."

"Hey, good." Shen Jianping watched Tong Jiu go to the main room of the back house, wondering whether he should tell Ji Lan about the fact that he must live today.

After returning to the main room and entering the door, Tong Jiu threw the cotton cap on the ground in a rage.

"Who's messing with you again?" Hong Xiao was frightened by her actions as soon as she entered the door, and quickly stepped forward to embrace her and walked to the Nuan Pavilion, saying, "It's cold, get warm soon."

"Where's Madam?" Tong Jiu asked as Ren Hongxiao helped her change her clothes.

"I see that he went out with shopkeeper Shu. It should be at the girl's side." After hearing this, Tong Jiu pulled back her robe, took a warm hat and put it on, picked up her cloak, lifted the curtain and went out.

"Leave as soon as you come back?" Hong Xiao shouted at her but she didn't respond, looking at Tong Jiu's back, Hong Xiao always felt that something was wrong in her heart, just now she looked at her eyes, obviously there was a murderous look.

Tong Jiu went up the stairs outside to get promoted to the girls' stall, and he heard laughter inside, so there should be girls there.He breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the railing, and meditated.

"Every time I come here to repay the question, this Huizhengsheng is strange. The same tea leaves, how come your family's tea is so fragrant. And look at the material of the clothes on your wife, the weaving method is the same as that of the capital city, which has never been seen before." Passed." I heard some female guests inside were amazed.

Then he said, "I sent my mother-in-law several times to various tea houses and satin houses to ask, where did Mr. Fucha buy these rare goods. I didn't want to reply, but it was your own secret ones, so I came to the door by myself Come to find it."

"Master Shu, come and help us and tell us that in the future, we will also sell some good things like this. We made clothes that look good, and we owe you our friendship. We must deposit all the money in your house." A female guest echoed.

"You guys are joking with me again. Compared with the material that you are wearing, our Dazhengchang's is just coarse cloth. I never thought that it would catch everyone's eyes!" It was Ji Lan's voice , Tong Jiu couldn't help pricking up his ears.

The female guest said again, "Oh, these are originally the silk and tea leaves from Dazhengchang in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that this is what the Mongolian princes' houses outside the pass are happy with. But, why don't you see Dazhengchang's branch in the capital?" file?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know that our owner's Dazhengchang wants to transport goods to Beijing, and he has to go to Tongzhou Wharf by water. But there are a lot of ship gangs on the wharf that are allowed to enter Beijing. Our family has been unable to process the admission documents for a long time. , if there are two checkpoints along the way." Ting Shu Guangxiu said.

"So, such a good thing can't enter the capital because of the lack of the admission documents of Tongzhou Wharf and the embarrassment of the people below?" It's not difficult."

A gust of cold wind blew by, Tong Jiu stood outside for a while, feeling cold all over her body.Hearing that Ji Lan and the others were talking about business, they didn't go in and bother, turned around and went downstairs.

"Jiuye!" Arriving at the concierge, just about to go out, he was stopped by the boy on the door, and presented two invitations, saying, "This is the invitation from Prince Yi's mansion."

Tong Jiu took the post and looked at it. Some invited him and Ji Lan, and another one was for Han Luming.Picking out Han Luming's post, he handed back his own and Ji Lan's to the boy and said, "Send this to Madam, and say that I'm going to deliver invitations to Young Master Tang's residence."

After finishing speaking, he led the horse and ran to Han Luming's house.
