Winning every step of the Red Mansion

177

Jia Lian immediately became interested when she heard Jia's mother say that she would give herself something.Quickly asked: "Old lady, you said that you have a good item for me. I don't know what it is?"

Shi Fei'er smiled and said, "You can't say it at this time, you can't say it. But in my opinion, it should please you." Jia Lian listened, tilted her head and frowned for a while, "The old lady said yes If I like it, why don’t you let me take care of it? Or something new?”

"You don't have to guess now, you will know when the time comes." Shi Feier kept his mouth shut.Jia Lian's heart was itchy like being scratched by a kitten, but Jia's mother didn't say anything, and he really couldn't help it.It is imperative to rewrite that policy theory first.

Back in the room, Jia Lian penned his pen and thought hard.If you stick to your original point of view, write it again and hand it over to your master, you don't have to think that the result should still be the same.But how to convince the Master is indeed a difficult problem.The master is conservative, and he is quite strict and serious about reading.Jia Lian was about to bite his teeth out of the pen, but he didn't think of a good way.

Seeing Jia Lian's behavior, the waiter at the side persuaded him, "Young Master Lian, you don't have to be obsessed with it. Anyway, it's just an article. You can write it as you want. You can just make up your own mind, why bother to be serious. "

Jia Lian put down his pen and looked at Xing'er beside him with a smirk, "You came to persuade me. If I can't write, I might as well drag you to the board together." As soon as he said this, the boy immediately turned bitter, "Lian Young master, the villain only spoke out to persuade you for your own good, why did you drag the villain into the water instead?"

Jia Lian smiled, crumpled the paper with a few words written on it, and threw it aside: I was just trying to fool you.Let me ask you, if the government lets you go out, it will be enough for you to buy a few acres of land with some money, would you be willing? "

Xing'er plopped and knelt down in a hurry when he said this: "Master Lian, the young one is talkative, the young one talks too much, please don't drive the young one out of the house. The young one will not talk nonsense anymore."

Jia Lian looked at it and said with a smile: "I just said, why did you really want to kick you out? But I'm curious. Giving you money can help you buy land and go to slavery. It's a great thing. Others ask for it back." If you can’t ask for it, why don’t you do it?”

Xing'er said submissively, "Do you want to hear the truth, or lie?" Jia Lian raised her eyebrows, picked up the teacup by her hand, lifted the lid, threw the tea out and said, "It turns out that you are a smart person. Why do you still have thoughts in your heart with the master. I want to hear today, how do you tell the truth, and how do you tell lies?"

Xing'er sighed and said: "Master Lian is too shrewd. How dare a villain have any thoughts about you. I just thought about some words that are not pleasant. If you say something that doesn't suit the master, please don't blame the master."

"Just say it straight, where did you come up with so many words?" Jia Lian said impatiently.Seeing this, Xing'er hurriedly said: "The master saw that we are suffering as servants, and he sympathized with us and let us go out. In addition to slavery, he also rewarded us with money. The villain is naturally grateful. But if you ask the villain Whether you really want to do this, to be honest, the villain is really unwilling. If there is a trick, the villain will kneel and beg every night, and also want to go back to the mansion to serve the master."

"That's strange." Jia Lian said, "The well-behaved farmers don't work, but they compete to be handymen."

"Young master Lian, you have to be divided into which family you belong to as a servant. You don't know, if there is a shortage of servants in our family, you don't have to come to the door with human teeth. How many people are vying for it. My master and I have not had a good time." Long, the money is five hundred cash per month. At the end of the year, there is still money in the mansion. In addition to the rewards on weekdays, it is a lot in a year. In three or two years, it is no problem to buy five or six acres of fertile land. With the land If you hire some more people, you can get a stable rent, and you can get a good job, so you can earn money while sitting." Xing'er paused, looked at Jia Lian's face, and then said He said again: "If you leave the mansion, even if you are rewarded with money to buy the land, how can life be better than now. What's more, the farmer's family counts on the few acres of land for a year, and they work hard for a year, but they can barely eat. If there are no disasters and no diseases, it’s okay, what can we expect when there is a disaster? You can’t fill your stomach even if you eat dirt. As for whether you are a slave or not, what does it matter? Now you follow the master, how many times can the little one be lucky enough to listen to? In class, I can read some characters and can write a name. But how many of those farmers can read? The name is just called, and asking him to write is just to draw a circle with a pen and press a fingerprint with his finger. .”

Jia Lian couldn't help being stunned after hearing these words.After pondering for a while, he said: "You are not right, I remember that the maids who were released from the old lady's room were all very happy, isn't that true?"

Xing'er smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master, you are also good at picking. You don't know that if the maids in the mansion can be selected by the old lady, it is like a sparrow flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix. Besides, the maids of the old lady are all for the old lady. Taking care of the business. Egret's style of dressing up and going in and out now is not inferior to that of an official's wife...that's another world."

Jia Lian took a look at Xing'er: "You know a lot."

"Young master, Xing'er only talks about this matter with the young master. The other person Xing'er never mentioned it."

Seeing Xing'er's nervous expression, Jia Lian said with a smile, "Be smarter in the future, and you will have a good life. Don't envy others." Then he took out a silver scorpion from the silver bag and threw it to Xing'er: " For your reward, take it to have some snacks and drink a pot of tea."

Xing'er jumped to catch the money, with joy on his face, he hurried forward to thank him repeatedly.Jia Lian waved his hand: "Okay, you grind the ink with me first, and then go down when you are finished, don't hinder the master's writing."

Xing'er hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and rubbed ink for Jia Lian.Seeing Jia Lian's confident appearance, he knew that Jia Lian must have made up his mind.But I was also wondering, I just chatted some gossip with the young master, how did the young master realize it?After all, the young master is amazing!Xing'er worked harder to polish Jia Lian's ink.In a short while, he polished a lot, Jia Lian waved his hand to signal Xing'er to go down, raised his pen to think for a while, and then began to write eloquently.

This time Jia Lian really has some insights.On the other hand, my previous article was indeed superficial.Hearing that Xing'er casually talked about the sufferings of the common people, he felt that promoting agriculture was an important matter, and that promoting agriculture was not contradictory to emphasizing commerce.There is no need for me to strive for a superiority in the policy discussion.If farmers all over the world have money, it will be a great thing for merchants.I remembered that I had asked Mother Jia why Fangshu was so good, why not make some ordinary ones so that ordinary people can buy them and use them?Jia Mu replied with a smile: "It will be like this one day, but not now."

Jia Lian wrote a large article eloquently, read it carefully by himself, changed it slightly, and copied two copies carefully before giving up.The next morning, I personally sent a copy to Jia Mu for review.

Shi Fei'er was a little surprised after seeing it, but she didn't expect that Jia Lian's knowledge would grow overnight.This article not only fulfilled the wishes of the master, but also respected my own heart, which is quite rare to kill two birds with one stone.The article even subtly included the matter of Jia's donation of money, and from this article, Shi Fei'er could see that Jia Lian's ambition was not smiling.

"Old lady, what do you think this time?" Jia Lian asked from the side, "I've been writing for a long time."

"It looks like it should be much better than your last one." Shi Feier didn't like it too much, and put the article aside.I still want to ask Jia Lian how he came up with this idea.He said again: "But it's not bad to be able to do this overnight! Could it be that someone was invited to help?"

Jia Lian sighed again and again: "Old lady, where can I get someone to help me?"

"Then you have to tell me in detail how you turned this corner."

"It turns out that the old lady cares about this matter. I thought that the old lady would not be willing to reward me." Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's just that I have a deeper understanding. According to the current situation, it is not the right time to start a business by talking nonsense. Wait until the usual time. When people don’t worry about making a living, people will be more interested in how to regenerate money. Needless to say, they will do so.” Jia Lian said quite confidently.

Naturally, Shi Fei'er was very appreciative, and she wanted to use this matter to teach Jia Lian not to forget her heart and not to be easily swayed.But I didn't expect him to be able to comprehend other things, which is even more difficult.

"Old lady, I've passed the test! Tell me what you want to reward me? I've been thinking about it all night."

"It doesn't matter if I say it, it's up to the master to decide." Shi Fei'er said with a smile: "Go to school first, and you'll know when you finish school today."

After hearing this, Jia Lian felt sad, but also helpless.I hurried to my home school and handed over the theory of this new work to my master.The master looked at it carefully, and commented: "Some insight is better than the empty talk on paper before."Jia Lian was naturally delighted to see him.I am looking forward to leaving school early to honor Jia Mu's reward.

Let's say that Jia Amnesty sat alone in the study, flipping through the mansion newspaper, but he was thinking about another thing.Jia Hu's letter from home this month hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know what the situation is?After all, it is thousands of miles away, and communication is very inconvenient.Jia Amnesty even wanted to buy a few boxes of carrier pigeons and send them to the frontier fortress. It would be better than waiting for that kid to release a carrier pigeon every day.Seeing that it was New Year's Eve, the child had never left home for the New Year.

Just as Jia Amnesty was thinking wildly, a servant came to report that there was a letter from the frontier.As soon as Jia Amnesty heard it was delivered, he hurriedly accepted the letter and opened it to read.Seeing this, he frowned.Jia She hurriedly read the letter, and paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. After walking back and forth a few times, he hurriedly asked someone to find the servant who delivered the letter and asked, "Have you delivered the letter to the old lady?"

The man shook his head and said, "I was only asked to send the letter to the master, not to the old lady or the wife." Jia She nodded when he heard this, took the letter in his hand, and said: "Just remember that there is no letter delivered today. If someone asks, just say something happened at home. If an old lady asks about Jia Hu, just say everything is fine." The man looked suspicious, but still nodded.
