The Red Mansions

Chapter 233 Jia's residence will be finished sooner or later, Jia Yun finds another way to make a living

Ningguo Mansion.

After listening to Lai Er's report, Jia Zhen asked in surprise, "You mean Rong'er is going to invite Jia Yun over for a drink?"

"Yes, that's what the boy who just came back said." Lai Er bowed his head and said.

Jia Zhen hummed, picked up her teacup and pondered.

Recently, the patrol battalion was suppressing the bandits in Beizhili, and many people were beheaded. Jia Zhen also heard about it.

Speaking of which, the conflict between the first and third houses was created by Jia She.

After the death of so many personal guards, after the old Duke of Rongguo Mansion left, Jia Amnesty attacked the Duke, but embezzled the pension money, which caused a big disturbance at that time.

Later, it was Jia's mother who came forward and made up the money, and then the matter was calmed down.

Although the incident is over, the Sanfang clansmen have been holding back their breath.

So when Sanfang has a talent and has the confidence to fight hard with Dafang, the conflict between the two will naturally erupt.

And when Jia Yun passed the exam and held a banquet, Jia's mother put on a big show and took the lead, which was the fuse of the conflict between the two parties.

If it was in the past, let alone Jia Yun passed the Juren examination, even if he passed the Jinshi examination, Jia Zhen would not have looked at him highly.

After all, as a noble party, Jia's family should not be underestimated even if its decline is severe.

But in the past six months, ever since Jia Yun returned to Beijing and lived in Xuncheng Yushi, she has been making various actions and earning a lot of enviable achievements.

Although those political achievements have not yet been fulfilled, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jia Yun will only get promoted gradually in the future.

Coupled with the recent patrolling camp to suppress bandits, it is also in full swing.

The tens of thousands of troops were dispatched as soon as they said they would go out, chasing the bandits in Beizhili like chasing ducks.

And the person who made the plan was Jia Yun.

Therefore, after integrating many aspects, Jia Zhen has to pay attention to it.

In fact, Jia Zhen, Jia She, and Jia Zheng began to pay attention to Jia Yun after Jia Yun served as the censor.

For the Jia family, their strength has always been in the army.

For many years, I wanted to switch from Wu to Wen.

Originally, Jia Jing was selected as a Jinshi, and he was about to succeed, but there were many side effects, and finally fell short.

In recent years, the Jia family has suffered a lot from civil servants, and the soft knife is the most severe.

Among them, the official censor is the most annoying.

But if one of his own people becomes the censor, it will be the most gratifying.

However, what is frustrating is that Jia Yun, a member of the Jia family, can't urinate in the same pot as the Jia family, which makes people helpless.

After thinking for a while, Jia Zhen ordered: "Since Rong'er intends to invite Jia Yun to come over for a drink, the mansion should take care of it. I still have a few bottles of high-quality Fen wine in my private warehouse, and I also take them out to entertain guests. "

"In addition, Rong'er said that he will invite Xue Pan, Xue Bian and others at the same time, so you must send the invitations as soon as possible, and you must not neglect etiquette."

Lai Er was stunned for a moment. He used to think that Jia Zhen would refuse Jia Rong's invitation to drink.

However, he didn't dare to refute Jia Zhen's words, so he quickly responded and stepped back to prepare.

the other side.

Jia Yun stepped into Xue's mansion, and the invitation card from Ningguo mansion was delivered.

Xue Pan and Xue Bian were also invited.

"Go, it's just a party of the younger generation. Brother Rong even sent the invitation, and there is absolutely no reason to refuse it." Jia Yun said in a deep voice.

Xue Pan nodded and said, "Brother-in-law says go, then let's go. In fact, speaking of it, Rong'er is a pretty good person. She can't do anything else. She is good at eating, drinking and having fun, and she has no bad intentions."

Jia Yun nodded and said: "It is precisely because of this that I agreed to go. In fact, before I got the honor, I had a good relationship with Jia Rong. In recent years, it is because of the relationship in the clan that I have gone far. .”

As he said that, he looked up at Xue Biao, saw that he was still standing on the side restrainedly, and said with a dumb smile:
"Sit down, why are you being so polite in private now?"

Xue Pan also laughed and said, "Brother, where is your usual prudence? Why are you at a loss when your brother-in-law comes? He doesn't look scary either!"

Xue Biao laughed dryly, and sat down as promised, but his buttocks were only sitting on the corner of the stool.

There is no way, Jia Yun and Xue Pan are both officials, he is a commoner, facing the two of them, he naturally has psychological pressure.

Xue Pan is better, after all, he is his cousin, Xue Biao is not so restrained in private.

But Jia Yun is different.

This man was not a few years older than Xue Biao, but he held an important position in the capital and held military power. When he was an official in the south, he also personally went into battle with a knife and killed a lot of Japanese pirates.

After knowing these things, how can we not make Xue Biao nervous?
What's more, as Jia Yun has been an official for a long time, her aura has become stronger, and her every move has begun to have the majesty of a superior.

He and Xue Pan often get along, but he didn't pay attention to these things.

But Xue Biao is different. He and Jia Yun have only known each other for a few days, and the relationship is not close, so he will naturally be affected by it.

Seeing that Xue Biao was still restrained, Jia Yun didn't say much. Xue Pan is a big fool, and he doesn't pay attention to these details. .

……

"Ah! Sister Lin is here today too, that's great!"

After seeing the ceremony, Xue Baoqin, Xue Baochai and others were overjoyed to see that Lin Daiyu was also there.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Sister Lin's father was sent to work in Hubei, and there was no relative at home, so I invited her to come with me."

Xue Wangshi and Bushi who were sitting in the upper positions looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

Xue Baoqin didn't think much about it, she knew that Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu were very close.

After a while, the room was buzzing with excitement.

Although Xue Wangshi and Bushi also like to be lively, they didn't have much to say to the young people after all, after a while, they went out hand in hand.

After the two left, Xue Baochai told Ying'er to wait for the maids to fetch some melons and fruits brought today, and chat while eating.

Those melons and fruits were taken out by Jia Yun from the space, which are fresher and more delicious than those on the market.

Xue Baochai was pregnant, and usually only ate food produced in the space, and vomited after eating other things.

Xiren is considerate, knowing Xue Baochai's habits, she asked Qingwen to make some fruit juice early on, and after cooling it, brought it from home to let Xue Baochai quench her thirst.

"This juice is sour and sweet, with a pleasant aroma, so delicious." Xue Baoqin took a sip and whispered.

Lin Daiyu said: "If it tastes good, drink more. Drinking this juice is very good for the skin."

Xue Baoqin blinked her eyes, looked at Lin Daiyu a few times, and suddenly said: "It's no wonder that Sister Lin's skin is radiant, smooth and tender. Could it be because of drinking this juice?"

"Uh, this is partly the reason!" Lin Daiyu nodded vaguely.

She is called a girl now, but she is actually a woman, so there are naturally many changes in her body, and she has gradually discovered it herself.

But it's enough to know this matter yourself, and there is no need to tell outsiders.

Xue Baoqin giggled and said: "Then I also want to drink more. After I came to the capital recently, I seem to be a little acclimatized and have no appetite for anything to eat. This juice is sweet and sour, appetizing, and quenches thirst. It is very good! "

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "If you like to drink, you will come to my house often in the future. There are all kinds of fruits and juices for you to enjoy every day!"

Xue Baoqin agreed wholeheartedly.

The melon and fruit cakes of Xue Baochai's family are indeed delicious, but what Xue Baoqin likes the most is all kinds of meals. After eating, the aftertaste is long and can't stop.

in the tea room.

Xue Biao knelt on the ground and begged Jia Yun to give their family a way to survive.

Jia Yun turned to Xue Pan and said, "Did you tell him everything?"

"Well, I took him to Shibafang for a walk yesterday morning. He made up his mind to hand over the business route." Xue Pan nodded.

Jia Yun nodded, turned her head and said to Xue Biao: "You have to think clearly, once the trade route is handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there is absolutely no reason to take it back."

"The little one has thought it over carefully, and has made up his mind to hand over the business route to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and ask the adults to help connect them." Xue Biao kowtowed in response.

Jia Yun pondered and said: "Forget it, since you have figured it out, come to the Beicheng Xuncheng Yamen tomorrow to find me, and then I will arrange someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to meet you."

After the cooperation between the Xue family business route and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, within ten years, the household department will get [-]% of the profits, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will get [-]%, Jia Yun will get [-]%, and the Xue family will get [-]%.

Ten years later, the household part will get [-]%, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will get [-]%, Jia Yun will get [-]%, and the Xue family will still get [-]%.

This was the agreement between Jia Yun and Dai Quan at the very beginning.

To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Internal Affairs represents the emperor, and the Ministry of Household Affairs represents the treasury. This is also an important reason why Jia Yun agreed to this distribution plan in the first place.

After all, relying on the royal family and the imperial court, even if he and the Xue family only share [-]% of the profits in the future, after the expansion of business routes, they will still earn a lot of money every year.

Neither Jia Yun nor the Xue family will suffer.

Now that Xue Biao has joined in, the ratio of division will also be carried out in the same way.

But Jia Yun would not tell Xue Biao about the specific details of the assignment.

He promised to let the Ministry of Internal Affairs incorporate the business routes of Xue Biao's family, and the more important purpose was to cut off the source of income of the Wang family and Jia's family, so as to prevent these people from doing more mischief after they had money.

"I'd like to see, after you haven't lost money from Xue Biao, where will you set your sights?" Jia Yun thought to herself.

He can be regarded as the emperor's confidant now, and one day he will confront the four princes and eight princes.

Although it will be people like Lin Ruhai and King Zhongshun who will really confront Lao Xungui head-on at that time, it will not hinder Jia Yun's planning and layout in advance.

As for taking advantage of the Jia family, Jia Yun has also analyzed it.

Internally, it is impossible for him to rectify the corrupt and festering Jia Mansion, change the arrogant and domineering style of work of Jia She, Jia Zhen and others, and bring the Jia Mansion back to life.

They should cause trouble, they will still cause trouble, jumping left and right, it is doomed to be disgusted by others, and it is also doomed to be hated by the emperor.

Externally, it is impossible for Jia Yun to stand with the Jia family and join forces with the four princes and eight princes.

Because one can know with a clear eye that as long as the Supreme Emperor dies, the emperor can clean up the four princes and eight princes without any effort.

Therefore, although Jia's family and Jia Yun have the same surname Jia, Jia Yun will not work hard for Jia's family to save a group of hopeless people.

For him, this is a thankless task, he might as well start a new stove and develop his own power.
