Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 213 Wang Xifeng is jealous
Rongguo Mansion, in Sister Feng's room.

Because there were birthday banquets for Jia Mu for several days in a row, there were many items of money expenditure.

Wang Xifeng ordered someone to collect all the accounts and expenditures for the past few days and asked the maid Cai Ming to report them to her.

After hearing Caimingbao's accounts, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but frown.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's expression, Ping'er knew that she was worried about money again.

In the past few years, the income of the mansion has been getting less and less, while the expenses have been increasing year by year. Ping'er follows Wang Xifeng as the housekeeper, so naturally he is very aware of these things.

Ping'er told Caiming, "You go down first."

Caiming retreated as instructed. Just as Ping'er was about to persuade Wang Xifeng a few words, he heard Caiming's greetings from outside.

"Second Master."

Ping'er knew that Jia Lian was back, so he rushed to the door to greet him and opened the door curtain for Jia Lian.

"The second master is back."

Jia Lian nodded and walked in with a cheerful face.

Seeing Sister Feng sitting there with a sad face, she didn't get up to greet him.

Jia Lian smiled and asked, "Second Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at him and said: "Outside Zhuangzi, seven or eight places have reported disasters this year.

The old lady spent another sixty-seven thousand taels of silver on her birthday. What do you think my family can do?

Where did the second master go to be happy? It makes you happy, as if you have picked up 1 taels of silver.

Why don't you reward me a little and make me happy too? "

Jia Lian chuckled and said: "I did pick up some silver, but it was not 1 taels, but 2 taels."

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian with some suspicion and asked curiously: "Where can you pick up 2 taels of silver?"

Jia Lian did not answer, but sat down opposite Wang Xifeng.

Erlang raised his legs and said, "After talking to the second master and the eldest master for a long time, I feel a little thirsty."

As soon as Wang Xifeng saw Jia Lian's posture, she knew that he had really gained money. She immediately put on a smile and said, "Ping'er, hurry up and bring tea to the second master."

Ping'er responded quickly and quickly brought the tea, and Jia Lian drank it slowly.

Wang Xifeng asked anxiously: "Can you tell me, Second Master?"

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you anxious?
A few days ago, the second master wanted to invest in Brother Qiong's business, and he wanted 10 taels of silver from you.

At that time, you said blankly that you had no money, and you refused to agree to it.

He couldn't ask for it from you, but I had to beg you for several days before I asked for 5 taels.

You are begging me right now, you have to let me calm down. "

Wang Xifeng stood up with a smile after hearing this, walked to Jia Lian, pushed him, and said aggrievedly: "Oh, my Lord, don't you know how much wealth your family has?

In the past few years, the government has received more money than it has spent, and it is not allowed to give away thousands of taels of silver any year.

There are so many gentlemen, ladies and ladies in this house, and there will be many places where money will be needed in the future.

I don't think carefully about how long I can last.

In order to sell it well in front of the emperor, Brother Qiong established a business, so he made it clear that it was a loss-making business.

Dongfu and Grand Master's Courtyard only gave out a few thousand taels of silver, why do we have to give so much.

If I give it happily, what will happen if the second master makes blind promises to others next time? Where can I get it for him? "

Jia Lian shook his head and said: "You, after all, have never read a book, you have long hair and short knowledge.

Brother Qiong is a man who does great things. There is nothing he can't accomplish.

This is the silver from the company's dividends, a total of 2 taels.

That firm is like an old hen that only lays golden eggs. They have divided so much in just a few days, and there will be plenty of profit in the future. "

As he spoke, Jia Lian took out his bankbook from his sleeve and waved it proudly in front of Sister Feng.Wang Xifeng hurriedly reached out to grab it, looked at it curiously, and asked, "What is this, a banknote?"

"This is called a passbook. Brother Qiong opened a bank. When you deposit money in it, you won't be given a banknote, but this thing..."

Jia Lian taught Wang Xifeng about bank matters. Wang Xifeng nodded and said, "It's novel to save money without spending money.
But it’s not like we don’t have room to put it at home, so we’d better have someone take it out. "

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's up to you. I'll leave this passbook with you. Every time you get a dividend in the future, you can just use this passbook to withdraw money."

Wang Xifeng said happily: "Will there be more in the future?"

Jia Lian smiled proudly and said: "Where are we now? Brother Qiong only received 300 million taels of silver from this dividend, and there are still another 3000 to [-] million taels to be earned."

Wang Xifeng opened her eyes wide when she heard this, and said with bright eyes: "How many times can you earn money with that?

If I had known this, I should have invested all the money in the house and earned him a few hundred thousand taels, so that I could have a lot of money. "

Jia Lian shook his head and said: "It's too late to regret it. The old man only invested 3000 taels, and now he regrets it so much that he can hardly eat.

I heard from Xue Pan that his family had given out 50 taels of silver, and he could divide 20 taels of silver just this time, and there would be millions of taels of silver to earn later.

Tsk tsk tsk, the Xue family is going to make a lot of money this time. "

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she was extremely upset and complained: "Brother Qiong, how can you benefit from such a good thing?"

Jia Lian sneered and said: "Who is an outsider? Sister Xue is about to marry Brother Qiong.

And as soon as they took action, they lent 50 taels of silver to Brother Qiong.

Except for the emperor, even the princes can only invest a maximum of 10 taels of silver.

Brother Qiong said that there is no restriction for our family, but you are only willing to give 5 taels of silver, who can you rely on? "

Wang Xifeng's face turned very ugly, not because Jia Lian scolded her, but because she was jealous knowing that so much money had been made by others.

"Why don't you go talk to Brother Qiong? Can we pay for it now and buy a few more shares?"

Jia Lian shook his head repeatedly and said: "There are so many investors who want to share the profits for nothing.

It’s pretty good for us to have this amount of income. Few companies have more than us, and we will receive dividends every year in the future.

Anyway, I can't open my mouth, so you can speak for yourself. "

When Wang Xifeng saw what Jia Lian said, she could only snort coldly and thought about going to Jia Qiong to talk about it.

Lixiangyuan, main hall.

Aunt Xue took the bankbook handed over by Jia Qiong with a happy face and said repeatedly: "They are all from my family. You are so busy, why did you bring it here specially?"

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I haven't been here for many days, so it's time to come and say hello to my aunt.

Why, Brother Xue and Sister Baochai are not here? "

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Baochai was dragged into a naughty position by Daiyu and Tanchun early in the morning.

Pan'er is like a horse without a bridle, and can't stay at home for a moment.

Yesterday, I came back and ran away with the next sentence, saying that I was going to Henan, but I didn't say clearly what I was going to do, which made people anxious.

Brother Qiong, you have to take good care of him later, so as not to cause any trouble again, and it will also smear you, right? "

When Jia Qiong heard that Xue Pan had gone to Henan, he roughly guessed the reason.

Then he said: "I sent Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian to Henan to inspect the coal mines yesterday.

Brother Xue probably heard about it, so he went with him.

It's nothing serious, don't worry. "

Aunt Xue nodded when she heard this and said, "That's good. If he can do something serious with you, I'll be relieved.

My brother wrote a letter the day before yesterday, saying that his work there has finally improved, thanks to you, and he asked me to thank you for him. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "It's just a little effort, we are all one family, why bother saying thank you.

Besides, Wang Shibo is also working hard for the country, so it is appropriate for me to contribute. "
