The Second Master of the Red Chamber

"My lord, this is the preliminary count of the property of the royal family."

In the evening, when Jia Lian returned to the Yanzheng Yamen, he couldn't help but feel a little tired, but he cheered up and took the roster handed over by Yang Xun. After reading it, he frowned and asked, "Why are you so much less than the Zhao family?"

Yang Xun and the others laughed and said: "Your Excellency, I don't know. Although the Wang family occupies the title of vice president of the guild, they have made a fortune far less than the Zhao family. Moreover, the Wang family also runs a bank. It is said that the Wang family's bank, They are well-known in all the major prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, so I am afraid that the main money of the Wang family has been bet in the bank."

Jia Lian was stunned, and then laughed at himself, almost possessed.

It is also to blame that these salt merchants are too rich, especially the mountains of gold and silver bricks piled up in Zhao's house, which are too dazzling, which makes him subconsciously have high expectations for the Wang family.

Thinking about it now, although the Wang family has a large share of Yan Yin, but he still has to respect the prince and others, so the number of Li Lan who stays in the Wang family is probably not much more than that of the Zhao family. Also normal.

"My lord, it's okay to talk about other properties of the Wang family. The government has a set of methods for reference on how to convert and sell them.

It's just that this Wang's Bank, because it involves a lot of loans, if it is not handled properly, it may cause unnecessary shocks.

The opinion given by Zou Fucheng is to select some powerful merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and sell the entire Wang's bank through election campaigns. This can save a lot of time and convenience for adults. "

Jia Lian nodded, it is indeed the best choice to package and sell the whole thing.

Moreover, didn't those salt merchants want to invite him to dinner three days later? I think they will be much more honest this time than before.

If the matter can be settled at that time, he doesn't mind, and he will share the salt shares of Wang's bank and Zhao and Wang's families for them to eat.

Simply set up a dinner in the yamen, rewarded Yang Xun, Zhao Cheng and other people under his command, and Gao Kui, Zou Tong and other officials in Yangzhou who helped out this time, Jia Lian went back to the house to rest.

"Adult~~"

Xu, who had seen his son safely, had tenderness in his eyes when he saw Jia Lian.

Dressed in spring and sunshine, she stepped forward to greet her with lotus steps.

In the past few days, even though she knew that someone would gossip, she still came to help Jia Lian with housekeeping every day, as if she was Jia Lian's maidservant.

After Jia Lian thanked her son for saving her son in a soft voice, seeing Jia Lian's face looked a little tired, she stood silently behind Jia Lian and massaged Jia Lian's shoulders.

After a while, Jia Lian opened his eyes, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and sniffed at her chest, and said with a smile, "Have you taken a bath?"

Xu's face turned ashamed, but she nodded immediately.

While laughing, Jia Lian couldn't help rubbing his plump place with his hands, and said with a smile, "I don't know if Ma'am is here, is it poisonous?"

Why couldn't Mrs. Xu hear Jia Lian's ridicule, so she replied with a smile: "If the concubine's body is said to be non-toxic, would my lord dare to taste it?"

Originally a noble lady, the dignified and self-sufficient Mrs. Gao Ming had already shown her style in front of her in a few days, which made Jia Lian nod her head, she really is a child to teach.

Seriously weighing this woman's figure and observing her face, I deeply feel that although this woman is not very young and her skin is not as delicate as that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, the beauty of her appearance and figure is hard to find in the world. …

From Jia Lian's point of view, when he was young, he must have been as good-looking as those famous courtesans, and even at this time, his charm was even worse than that of the No. 1 prostitute, Jiang Yun. .

So he patted her buttocks, and after she got up, she ordered: "Take the cups and saucers on the table over there."

Although Mrs. Xu was puzzled, she complied with a dignified body.After clearing the table, he walked to Jia Lian and looked at him with questioning eyes.

"Madam's figure is so beautiful, it's my fault that I didn't appreciate it.

On this beautiful occasion, madam is willing to succumb to this table and show off her figure to the fullest, so that I can appreciate it? "

Mrs. Xu looked at Jia Lian's serious book, then at the gloomy and cold table, her face turned red suddenly, and then she was happy again.

"My lord, are you willing to accept me as a concubine..."

Xu's voice was full of shyness.Seeing Jia Lian's noncommittal, she stood there for a moment with a blushing face, finally gave Jia Lian a blank look, turned around and bent down, and fell on the table shyly and silently.

Although I feel ashamed, I am very pleased in my heart.

It was all because that day, she plucked up the courage to go to Jia Lian late at night. Although Jia Lian didn't refuse her and let her stay overnight, he despised her for being stupid and just trained her.

Even if he saw her agitated, he only used means to appease her, and he never really took advantage of her body.

Although she felt that she should be glad to keep her innocence, she also felt that Jia Lian despised her ruined body and refused to condescend to enjoy it, and she was secretly sad.

Seeing her son returning safely today, she was happy and grateful, so she took a bath and dressed up carefully, hoping to repay Jia Lian.

Who knew that Jia Lian actually asked her to pose like this.She is not a young girl who doesn't understand anything, why does she have to pose in such a shameful pose to admire her figure?

Therefore, he couldn't help looking back at Jia Lian with a shy smile.

The beauty's figure is thin and fragrant, and the beauty's eyes are invisible and seductive.

Jia Lian nodded, stood up involuntarily, and walked over.

Unexpectedly, the beauty didn't know whether she was nervous or shy, and suddenly turned over again, lying on Jia Lian's arms with her hands rolled up.

"What's the matter?" Jia Lian was not in a hurry, she grabbed his hands and asked with a smile.

Seeing Xu's blushing face and being silent for a moment, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "I don't know what my lord thinks, how is my daughter's life?"

Jia Lian was slightly taken aback, then looked at her with a half-smile.

Xu could not help but blush even more.

"It's said that my daughter, Mother Xiao, has a stunning appearance. Your daughter is naturally very cute."

Mrs. Xu was overjoyed, and asked, "Well, I don't know about your lord, would you like to take her by your side and let her follow you and serve you..."

Mrs. Xu endured a lot of shame to say this matter that she had considered for a long time.

No wonder she's shameless.

He knew that Jia Lian had confiscated both the Zhao family and the Wang family, which shows that the lack of salt tax this time is not good.

Although she felt that with Jia Lian's attitude towards her, it would not be difficult to keep her mother and son, but after all, An's family's former wealth would definitely be lost.

At this time, if she couldn't find a trustworthy backer, the three of her mother and son might end up being mermaids. …

And Jia Lian is undoubtedly a strong and trustworthy ready-made backer.

But she understood that she and Jia Lian were just acting on occasion, each taking what he needed.It is impossible for Jia Lian to be responsible for an old woman who is many years older than him, and as the mother of a pair of children, she may shamelessly follow Jia Lian to the Duke's mansion as a maidservant and concubine.

Therefore, marrying her daughter to Jia Lian as a concubine is the best and most perfect way to take care of all aspects.

With Jia Lian's appearance, even if he made his daughter a concubine, he would not wrong her.

Jia Lian laughed, raised Xu's chin, and said with a smile: "Is it true that I promised Madam that Madam will not dedicate herself to this official?"

Xu's face was as red as blood when he was teased, and he said a little embarrassedly: "My concubine is already a yellow flower of yesterday, and she is not innocent. To adults, she is just a wild game, not worth anything, eh~~!"

It was Jia Lian who wrapped her hands around her hips, pulled her hard, hugged her up in the air, and smiled face to face: "But, I like you, this yellow flower of yesterday, what should I do? Why don't you and Cai'er , follow me together?"

"This, how can this be..."

Xu was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in.

"Hahaha."

Seeing Xu's funny reaction, Jia Lian couldn't help laughing, and then said sternly: "I appreciate your kindness. No matter what you say, your daughter is also the orphan of a court minister. If I accept her as a concubine at this time, it will be inevitable." There is suspicion of taking advantage of others.

Besides, your daughter must have been well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child, and you suddenly let her be a concubine with others, and she will be at your mercy from now on, not to mention whether she is willing or not, don't you feel bad?

As for me, since I can only choose one, I would rather choose Madam..."

"But."

"Come on, I haven't appreciated Madam's figure enough, why don't you turn around?"

After being placed on the ground again, Mrs. Xu looked at Jia Lian seriously, and made sure that Jia Lian was not lying, so she could only turn around slowly and subconsciously threw herself on the table.

When she realized it, she felt very embarrassed again.But at the same time, there is also a strong joy in my heart.

After all, Jia Lian chose her between the young Shaoai's daughter and her. This is the best compliment and compliment for a woman, and it is something worthy of secret joy for women.

She is no exception.
