[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

Suddenly hearing the word "Business", everyone was stunned, even Xue Baochai also put on a straight face.

"Why did sister Lin say such a thing?"

Seeing how they looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, Lin Yun explained with a smile.

"What are you panicking about? In the future, when you get married and become the mistresses of the house, don't you need to be in charge of the business of the property shop at home?"

"I'm not asking you to shout out in public, but there is a good thing I want to call you together."

Tanchun heaved a sigh of relief.

"Scared me, I thought Big Sister Lin was crazy."

"Let's hear what's good. If it's not good, we'll go to the old lady and sue you."

The atmosphere relaxed, Lin Yun said.

"You are extremely talented, and you grew up in the Hou Mansion, so you understand the thoughts of rich and noble families best."

"I had nothing to do a few days ago, so I asked someone to open a few shops outside to sell some lanterns and gauze curtains."

Yingchun is unknown.

"Then you just sell it, what does it have to do with us?"

Lin Yun waved his hand, beckoning everyone to come closer, and lowered his voice.

"How much are the lanterns sold to ordinary people? Of course they are sold to wealthy families."

"All you have to do is draw the image you imagined in your mind, and when you sell it for money, minus the cost of materials, I will share [-]% of it for you."

The girls didn't take care of the house, didn't know the prices, and didn't care about it.

"It's only about [-] percent, sister, let's keep it, but it's interesting to listen to."

"I heard that there is a lamp like a shadow puppet show. If it can be done, I would like to see it first."

It was only regarded as a novel way of playing, and it was quickly discussed with jokes.

Only Xue Baochai moved his fingers slightly and roughly calculated, and pulled Lin Yun to a place where there was no one else.

"My dear sister, where did you come up with this idea?"

"Things sold to the rich and powerful have always been the most profitable, and it's thanks to you that you dare to reach out."

Lin Yun smiled.

"I know you can hear it, but they don't care about the house and don't know the price of daily necessities."

"Recently, a lot of rich and powerful people bought stone and wood, fearing that they needed to repair their yards. I opened a few shops to play, and I wanted to join in the fun."

As soon as the news from Water Transport arrived, Lin Yun thought of visiting his relatives.

The construction of the Grand View Garden alone cost a million taels, and more than one family visited relatives. Isn't this a good opportunity to make a fortune?But this can't be said, anyway, these dignitaries have to repair the yard every year, a ready-made excuse.

Xue Baochai's heart was moved.

If it is really a powerful family, the Xue family can also lend a hand, earning money is still secondary, the important thing is to take the opportunity to make contacts, as long as a little operation, maybe they can regain the status of the imperial merchant.

She thought well, but she almost died of anger when she went home and asked Xue Pan.

"I don't know who is repairing the yard. I'm busy these days."

"However, we are preparing to build a new theater stage. If someone buys materials, I will also buy two boats."

I knew that this brother could not be counted on, but I didn't expect him to be such a jerk.

Xue Baochai covered her heart.

"Such a major event, outside businesses have long been aware of it, but you don't care at all?"

"My mother and I are counting on you, brother should take care of him!"

Xue Pan had a guilty conscience, but he has been in love with the young man these days, how did he know about the shipping?

"Outside things have their own men, what do you care?"

"Our family has a lot of money, so we won't be able to starve you anyway."

After finishing speaking bravely, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Xue Baochai wanted to chase, but was afraid that the sound would be heard outside, so she could only hold back.

Aunt Xue had been crying with her handkerchief in her hand.

"I have a son, I have pity on what crimes our mother and son have done to cause me to give birth to such a wicked person. What face will I have to go to see the master in the future."

The crying made Xue Baochai have a headache, but she could only hold back and coax her.

"Mom, don't cry, there's me too."

Xue Baochai had a good idea, as long as Lin Yun was on the tower, he didn't want to be friends with Water Transport, but he didn't want to be an enemy. Even if he couldn't get a share this time, there would always be a chance to cooperate in the future.

It's just that she hasn't found the opportunity to talk in secret, and the news of visiting relatives has spread.

Where is the yard to be built, it is clearly to repair the garden, to repair the villa!

The designs of the girls are too extravagant, it is absolutely impossible to use them in ordinary people's homes, but it is just right for them to be used in family-saving villas.

What Zhou Guifei's family, Wu Guifei's family, don't want to be left behind or be the same as others. When they hear that there are good things, they immediately buy them with a lot of money.

Xue Baochai regretted it at the beginning, and hated herself for hesitating for too long.

In the Jiangyun Pavilion, Lin Yun acted like a shopkeeper, and distributed the money to the girls.

"Second sister drew two pictures, third sister drew three pictures, fourth sister drew three pictures, and sister Bao drew two pictures."

"Except for the fourth sister who ordered two, you all ordered one."

"According to the calculation of 300 taels for a piece of paper, 90 taels is [-] taels. This is your money, and the rest will be settled after delivery."

Looking at the bank notes in front of them, the girls were dumbfounded.

It's not that they haven't seen money or good things, it's just that they only have two taels of silver a month, and they can't react when they see so much.

Xue Baochai looked complicated, but was the first to pick it up.

"At the beginning, I only talked about painting for fun, but in the blink of an eye, so much money is really a huge profit."

"Thank you, Sister Lin, first."

Lin Yun smiled.

"You can also get more from the deposit, and the remaining money is used to buy materials, and the workers' rent and delivery money will be deducted from the remaining money."

"It's a pity that things that are too luxurious can only be sold to so few companies. In the future, it will be simpler. After the family visits, there will be people rushing to buy them."

Concubines visit relatives, how many people want to be happy, even if they can't buy the original version, it is good to buy a simple version.

The reason is very simple, it is the star effect of later generations.

Lin Yun's small abacus was rattling, but it was water transport that really made a lot of money.

In a place as big as the capital, things have to be shipped from other places, and there are only a few official ships. No matter what kind of businessman you are and how to resell them, as long as the water transport ignores you, you will get nothing.

Cao Tongxuan heard about this far away in the south, so he hurriedly wrote letters to his father and Lin Ruhai.

It's just one sentence: it's no good to distribute the emperor's wealth.

The Cao Gang has been able to develop so far, and the leader of the gang is naturally not confused. Before receiving the letter, he has already taken a clear inventory of the recent collections, and sent half of the letter to Lin Ruhai directly.

Lin Ruhai mixed this half with the money collected by the Yanzheng, and handed it over to the emperor by secret envoys.

With millions of taels of silver in front of him, the emperor was forced to agree to visit his relatives, and his mood improved a lot.

"Lin Ruhai is smart, it was not in vain that I sent him to take up the post."

"This is the last year of his term, right?"

The chief eunuch counted with his fingers.

"It's about time, and it can be fixed in the middle of the year if there is no accident."

"It's just... not easy to arrange."

The emperor's hand counting the money stopped, his face was ugly.

"Father is getting more and more confused. Those old nobles are hard to control, and with the support of father, they don't take me seriously at all."

"If Lin Qing hadn't investigated the corruption in Yangzhou's internal government this time, I would have been kept in the dark!"

It is said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, but there are two kings, the emperor and the supreme emperor, who have been fighting for power for many years.

The new emperor has endured for many years, and now that his wings are full, it is time to fight back.

"Ask Concubine Jia to pick me up tonight."

The emperor's voice could not be heard to be happy or angry, but the chief eunuch gave him a meal.

The palace is full of dangers, and the outside of the palace is full of gongs and drums.

Everyone in Jia's residence was happy, except Wang Xifeng.

"Second Mistress, I don't have enough money to buy wood."

"understood."

"Second Mistress, I will remind you of the money for the gauze tent."

"understood."

"Second Mistress, when will the craftsmen who measure the land get paid? I have come here twice this month to urge you."

Wang Xifeng finally lost her patience and slapped the account book.

"Our majestic Duke's Mansion, can we still default on the money? It's just kept in the account room, and it will be taken out later."

"From the time I got to know your relatives to now two or three months, you haven't done much serious business other than asking for money. Don't think I don't know about your flirts."

"Tomorrow, I'll call a few men and ask them to check everything, but if there is any problem, you all pay attention!"

After getting angry and driving everyone away, Wang Xifeng sat down slumped.

Ping'er came over with tea.

"Grandma calm down, it's useless to be anxious, the cashier can't pay the money, so hurry up and think of a way."

Wang Xifeng sighed.

"Why didn't I know that there was no silver? It's just that there was no silver. Did you tell me to steal it? I put all the loan sharks in it, what is there enough for?"

"Tomorrow, I will talk to the old lady and think of another way."

The master and servant sighed a few times in private, and even pretended to be rich and powerful when they left the room, not daring to make the servants look suspicious.

Without the Lin family's millions of wealth, it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

Even though Wang Xifeng was shrewd, she could only ask for help from Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang after several days alone.

"It's not that I can't figure it out, it's because the expenses are too much to cover, or the 5 taels lent to the Zhen family in the early years have all been taken back."

"If it continues like this, let alone before the [-]th day of the first month of next year, it will not be completed in the year after next. Unless the scale is reduced, it will definitely not be enough."

Mrs. Wang was the first to refuse.

"My empress can't lose face, can she be lower than a nobleman?"

"Just hold on for a few more days, maybe I'll show my face and borrow some from my relatives."

Jia Mu leaned on the collapse, but asked.

"How much have you spent now?"

Wang Xifeng made a rough calculation.

"The garden of three and a half miles plus the attic has already cost 30 taels."

"There are still 20 taels in the account. They are all purchased and arranged things, and there are waitresses, little actors, etc., which cannot be saved."

"I don't know how many there will be in the future, and my daughter-in-law's hair is all grey."

With such a huge amount, Mrs. Wang couldn't help exclaiming.

"so much?"

Wang Xifeng had a bitter face.

"I really have no choice, otherwise I wouldn't dare to bother the old lady and wife."

Everyone in the family knew that Wang Xifeng was strong enough to make her say such things. The situation was not optimistic.

Mother Jia sat up and sighed softly.

"In the past few years in the family, I also know that you have worked hard, so I have to bear it for you."

"Yuanyang went to open my private warehouse and asked someone to lift out the bottom box. The contents inside can also be exchanged for 10 taels."

"It was originally intended to be reserved for Baoyu, and it is the same for the empress."

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, and he said tightly.

"It's okay right now, but we are afraid that if the specifications of other people's homes are changed, we can only upgrade accordingly."

Mrs. Wang answered.

"You just support it first, and I'll think of a way."

Send Wang Xifeng away, and invite Aunt Xue to talk at night.

"If it wasn't really difficult, I wouldn't tell you this."

With a bit of embarrassment, she was interrupted by Aunt Xue just after she said a few words.

"What are you talking about? We are sisters, we should take care of each other, not to mention that your mother is also Baochai's cousin."

"The Fuchu has been busy buying things for the past few months, and I can't help you. You can take the 5 taels of silver here, and then open your mouth if you don't have enough."?
