The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 139 Jia Lian Review

Jia Lian felt that now was a critical juncture for him.He had to think carefully about which side he should be on.

Although all the masters and masters came, but because of something on their minds, no one could talk about those easy topics.I am afraid that if I am not careful, it will make others unhappy.

No poems were written, no jokes told.Just in twos and threes, occasionally whispering a few words.Even Baoyu is very knowledgeable, but just stays honestly.

When it finally came to Xu time, Mother Jia also felt bored, so she asked everyone to disperse.He went back to the house by himself and lay down on the kang.I couldn't sleep either, just staring at the roof.

"Mandarin ducks, ask someone to send all the food to Baoyu, and then ask the girls to play in Baoyu's room for a while. If it's a big festival, don't wrong the children."

Yuanyang agreed and went out to make arrangements.

Jia Min returned to the Farming and Studying Institute, but Qingwen didn't know where she was. Seeing that Magpie and Thrush were busy beating hair, she didn't want to disturb them.So I went to the East Flower Hall.

Light the lamp and just sit there.I thought to myself, Ping'er and the others don't know what they are doing at this time?However, since he has returned to Yeduju, he has arrived at his own home.Presumably they will also arrange their own festivals.

Now, he regretted a little, regretting that he didn't go back to Yeduju today.After all, it is more comfortable to stay with Jiaoli, Pinger and other people there.

While I was sitting alone, Jia Lian and Jia Qiang came.

While admiring the moon with everyone, Jia Lian made a decision: he would place a bet between the old lady and Jia Min.

On the surface, he accepted the old lady's errand, but secretly approached Jia Min.

The old lady arranged for him to monitor Jia Min's affairs, although it was a secret now.However, he can't guarantee that it won't be exposed in the future.

Once it is exposed, it will be a grudge with Jia Min in the future.Originally, there was poisoning first, if this time there is an enmity again, Jia Min may not let him go.

Besides, once Jia Min completes the bus and carriage business, Jia Min will completely control the power in the mansion, making a choice earlier will also leave a way out for himself.

Even if Jia Min can't finish this job and slips away in the future, he won't have much loss.

The calculation has been made, and after the banquet, I went to Jia Qiang.

These days, Jia Qiang is actually more worried than Jia Lian.

The last time Jia Min was caught in the Town God's Temple in a muddleheaded manner, and confessed that he had partnered with Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong to kill Jia Rui.This made Jia Qiang feel a deep-seated fear of Jia Min.

Especially on that day when Jia Min easily knocked down a dozen servants in Rongxi Hall, this kind of fear reached its peak.

Therefore, although Jia Lian asked him to spy on Jia Min secretly, he only agreed superficially and did not monitor at all.

He had no confidence at all not to be discovered by Jia Min. He knew that once Jia Min found out, although the consequences were unclear, bad luck was certain.

The Jia family in the imperial capital is actually a big family.In addition to the direct lineages of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion, there are also many members of the Jia clan scattered on Rongning Street surrounding the two mansions.Jia Qiang is one of these people.

Some of these tribesmen have more contacts with the two mansions, and their relationship with the mansion is closer.Some have fewer exchanges, and the relationship is more distant.Because of the close relationship with Jia Rong, Jia Qiang often communicates with the two prefectures, and she has a clearer understanding of the affairs of the two prefectures.

After suffering from Jia Min's loss, Jia Qiang has been paying more attention to Jia Min's movements.As for what Jia Min did, he often pondered in secret.

The final conclusion is that none of the people from the two prefectures will be Jia Min's opponent in the future.In addition, Jia Min once asked him to secretly collect the situation in the mansion for him, so he decided in his heart that sooner or later he would vote under Jia Min's sect.

It turned out that when he heard that Jia Min was leaving, he felt relieved for a while, and then Jia Min came back, and Jia Qiang knew that sooner or later he was going to take this step.Therefore, as soon as Jia Lian told him not to monitor Jia Min anymore, he immediately suggested to Jia Lian to tell Jia Min about the matter directly.

The reason for making this decision is also because Jia Qiang believes that Jia Min has the ability to solve the current crisis.At this moment, it is the most suitable time to be close to Jia Min.After Jia Min resolves the crisis, his own value will be greatly reduced.

"Fourth brother Min, it's a holiday today, we are bored, so we bought some food and wine. Thinking that the servants of fourth brother Min are all out, and it's boring to stay alone, so I came to see you for a drink , I also hope that the fourth brother Min will give my brother face."

As soon as Jia Lian came in, he seemed very enthusiastic, as if he had been close brothers for many years.

"Second brother Lian, you're being polite. I'm just bored. I didn't expect you to come, but I just cost you money. I feel a little sorry."

"Fourth Brother Min said that too far. Originally, I wanted to ask you to go home, but it was getting late, so I had to wait until later to find another opportunity."

After Jia Qiang set up the food and drink, they sat down and began to drink while chatting.

After drinking for three rounds, Jia Min spoke.

"Second Brother Lian and Brother Qiang have something to say, please speak up. If I can do it, I will definitely do it."

Jia Min knew that there must be some reason for the two of them to come here.Otherwise, they would not have come to him at this critical moment.

When the other masters in the mansion kept their distance from him, the two of them came at this time, either because they had some conspiracy or they wanted something from themselves.

If the latter, they still need some courage.

"Sure enough, you can't hide anything from Fourth Brother Min. Since that's the case, brother will tell you straight. We are here to find Fourth Brother Min to invest in shares. We just don't know what the profit will be? How will we share dividends in the future?"

Of course, Jia Lian wanted to get close to Jia Min by buying shares, express his position, and leave a way out for himself in the future.

However, he would not refuse money, so he asked about the future income and dividends.From this point of view, he still has a certain sincerity in buying shares.

However, he also prepared for the worst, even if he lost money in the future, it would be considered a way out for himself.

Although the old lady had hinted to them that once the carriage project failed, Jia Min would be pushed out as a scapegoat.However, now he doesn't think that the actual situation will be as simple as the old lady thought.

"The income is around the third level, and the dividend is divided every six months. It's just that the second brother Lian has to think about it. No matter what business you do, there are always risks. At that time, it is possible that you can't reach this amount."

"Brother naturally understands this truth. At that time, no one can be blamed."

"How much does Second Brother Lian plan to pay?"

"I don't have much money on hand, so I'll invest 2000 taels first. Not only me, Brother Qiang also wants to invest."

"Oh? Brother Qiang also wants to invest? How much?"

This surprised Jia Min.

"Of course I can't compare with Second Uncle Lian. If I spend all my time, I can get together 1000 taels, and I'll get all of them."

"Do you believe me that much? In this carriage business, many people are waiting to see a joke?"

"In this regard, we are different from others. Back then, no one would have believed in Guo Gongjiu, Ganoderma lucidum, and watermelon. The fourth brother Min has made all of them. Now that the fourth brother Min dares to take the carriage After that, it will definitely work. Although we don’t know how the fourth brother Min will do it, we must have already had an idea. We are a little embarrassed, so we came to take a ride with the fourth brother Min.”

Alas, who said that the Jia family has no talents?The two in front of me still have some vision.It's just that in the big dyeing vat of Jia's mansion, I spend all day thinking about Zhaidou, staring at the little profit in front of me, and burying all the talents.

"Since the second brother Lian and Brother Qiang are like this, I will accept your shares. It's just that I will not say anything about this business in the future. It's not that I don't believe you, but that there are too many people in this house. , As long as there is a little thing, the outside world will know. You should also know that some tricks are leaked and asked others to learn, but they are blocking your own way. "

"Of course we know. I just want to thank fourth brother Min, come on, brother to toast you."

After drinking, Jia Lian took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Jia Min.

"This is a self-criticism written by me. Now I am admitting my mistake to Fourth Brother Min. I would like to take this opportunity to accept Fourth Brother Min's admonition talk."

In the original punishment of Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and others, there was indeed a provision of writing a self-criticism and accepting admonishment talks.Jia Min didn't forget about it either.

Because people's hearts were unstable during this period, Jia Min put the matter aside for the time being, and planned to deal with this issue after the carriage incident was resolved.Unexpectedly, Jia Lian came here on his own initiative today.

This point is different from that diehard Wang Xifeng.Just yesterday, Wang Xifeng threatened Ping'er that she would not write any self-criticism.

This is not only her venting her dissatisfaction, but also provoking Jia Min.Jia Min doesn't want to talk to her now, but this account has been written down for her, and he plans to deal with her in the future.

Jia Min took a rough look at it and felt that the writing was okay.Also put it aside. , In fact, Jia Lian can have this attitude, which is considered pretty good.There's no need to stalk and stare at her anymore.

"Second brother Lian is so sincere, even if this matter is over, we will still be brothers in the future."

"In this way, I would like to thank Fourth Brother Min. My brother had done something wrong to Fourth Brother Min before. Today, I will also apologize to Fourth Brother Min. I will punish myself with a cup."

After Jia Lian finished drinking, he gave Jia Qiang a wink.

"Fourth Brother Min, we're here today, and there's one more thing I'll ask Brother Qiang to tell you."

"Yes, Fourth Uncle Min, there is an important matter related to Fourth Uncle Min. I checked with Second Uncle Lian, and I think it's better to tell Fourth Uncle Min, so that Fourth Uncle Min can make preparations. .”

Therefore, Jia Qiang briefly explained the matter of someone asking them to monitor Jia Min, but did not directly mention that it was Jia's mother who instigated it.

The two thought that Jia Min would be surprised when they heard this, but unexpectedly, Jia Min just said lightly: "I knew it a long time ago."
