The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 302 Who is the main room
Regarding the topic of Lameihua spreading rumors about herself, Jia Min naturally wanted to mention it to Shen Bingyi.

Since Shen Bingyi stayed and did not leave, she would know sooner or later.So, it's better to confess on your own initiative, so that Shen Bingyi will not be passive when asked in the future.

Regarding the silkworm chrysalis, Jia Min naturally also said that he and Shen Bingyi were married, so there is no need to be taboo about it.

In the end, Shen Bingyi was so happy that all the branches trembled and laughed into a ball.

"I obviously don't believe this. Just from what she said about the silkworm chrysalis, I know that you and her are not related by skin."

After saying this, Jia Min felt that it was unnecessary to worry about Shen Bingyi's misunderstanding.

"However, others don't know about this matter, and I'm afraid you will be required to refute the rumors in the future."

"Even if I know that the words are false, how can I refute the rumors for you? Wouldn't it be that I don't admit myself in front of outsiders? Besides, how can I tell others about such things?"

"Others know about the two of us. They are very generous and don't care. Besides, I have already accepted you. There is nothing other people can do about it."

"It's the same thing, so I don't have to tell others. All right, you can go to Boss Zhao's place to have a look. It's always at my place, let others see it, and think you are more serious than friends. .”

"Okay, then I'll come back tonight"

Jia Min left Shen Bingyi's place and went to see Zhao Bancheng and the others.

In Jia Min's eyes, these women can be roughly divided into three echelons.

The first echelon is Baochai and Miaoyu, this is the future echelon of the main family.Of course, there can only be one main wife, and it is difficult for him to choose which one to choose between the two.

The second echelon is Ping'er and Qingwen, this is the echelon of concubines.This point is not too big of a problem, and they themselves will approve of such an arrangement.

The third echelon is Shen Bingyi.However, now that Shen Bingyi's status has been determined, this problem is considered resolved.

The rest is Qin Keqing.

This is a rather troublesome thing.

Although the marriage between Qin Keqing and Jia Rong has existed in name only, the form is still there after all.It is indeed a great difficulty to break this form.

When he first arrived in Jia's mansion, he planned to abduct Qin Keqing if he did not do well in Jia's mansion.However, it now appears that this plan is clearly unrealistic.

It's not because I'm doing well, but because I have too many responsibilities now.

In addition to the emperor's mission, there is also the government corps, and even Jia's mansion.

He already has feelings for Fu Bingtuan and Jia Mansion.Besides, there are people like Baochai, Miaoyu, Ping'er and Qingwen.

He can't just walk away.

However, he is still very confident about his relationship with Qin Keqing.

Previously, she thought that she might never see Shen Bingyi again in this lifetime, but she never expected that Shen Bingyi would come by herself.

I used to think that there was no hope for myself and Baochai.Unexpectedly, Baochai met the Mei family's marriage proposal, and escaped marriage and came here by herself.

Maybe one day, some miracle will happen between himself and Qin Keqing.

What should be yours is yours.It doesn't matter if you want to or not.

In fact, Jia Min is still a little too confident. He seems to be very confident in several echelons.However, these echelons are not so stable.

At least that's the case for the second echelon.

After arranging Baochai and others, Miaoyu, Ping'er and Qingwen returned to their rooms.Yizhihua, as their best friend and think tank, naturally also came here.

As soon as she got back to the house, Miaoyu started to pack her things and wanted to go back to the imperial capital.The reason is naturally because Baochai came.

Before that, Yizhihua once persuaded her, asking her to take it easy, as long as Jia Min has her in his heart, he doesn't need to care about her status.

Miaoyu also agreed at the beginning, and convinced herself in her heart.However, when Baochai came here today, she realized that she still cared.

In the past, she said she didn't care, just because the problem hadn't really appeared in front of her eyes, but now that Baochai came, she had to face this problem.

It is naturally unrealistic to return to the imperial capital, and Ping'er and the others quickly persuaded her.As a person who came here, Yizhihua tried to persuade Miaoyu repeatedly, which made Miaoyu dispel the idea of ​​returning to the imperial capital.

"Don't scare yourself, maybe Miss Xue really just came to see Chief Min?"

Yizhihua persuaded, but she didn't even have much confidence in this statement.

"Sister Qu, you have never been to our mansion, so naturally you don't know the pomp and circumstance in our mansion. If she is here to see Fourth Master Min, why would she come by herself?"

The cynical Qingwen said indignantly.

"Speaking of which, the fourth master's sisters are going to come first. Can Miss Yingchun, Miss Tanchun and Miss Xichun come?"

"Besides, our mansion is full of ostentation. Why would she be asked to come by herself? Even if no man comes with her, why would someone from her own family not come and be escorted by the government corps instead? "

"It's Miss Bao, who is in charge of affairs in the West Mansion now. She is on an equal footing with Grandma Rong in the East Mansion. Even the Second Grandma Lian is not as prestigious as her now? How could she come here so cowardly?"

"Yeah, what Qingwen said is right. I think she has even prepared winter clothes and quilts. She is obviously spending the winter here, so maybe she won't leave."

Ping'er added evidence in a timely manner.Although not as radical as Qingwen, there was dissatisfaction in her words.

Both Ping'er and Qingwen had a good impression of Baochai before.He even thinks that Baochai is the best candidate for Jia Min's wife.

However, since it was reported last year that the Xue family wanted to betroth Baochai to Jia Min, and then backed out, the two had extremely bad impressions of Baochai.

At the same time, since Jia Min had agreed to take the two of them as concubines by default, the two began to pay attention to the candidates for the future wife.

Although Miaoyu has a bad temper, Miaoyu is straightforward and has no scheming, as long as she gets along with her for a long time, she is easy to get along with, basically there is no need to guard against her.

However, Baochai is different.

Baochai has a lot of scheming, and his emotions are invisible. Although the two are also smart people, they think that they are not Baochai's opponents.Therefore, Baochai is in a defensive state of mind.

"Even if she comes, Chief Min may not call her Mrs. Yazhai, ah, the top spot, ah, no, she is the wife."

As soon as I heard the banditry in these words, I knew it was a flower.

"They were cousins, but they got closer. Besides, this girl Bao is very powerful. If she wants something, she can get it."

"Qingwen, don't be alarmist. Even if she has three heads and six arms, after all, there are three of you. There are so many people, how can she stand against you?"

"Sister Qu, you don't know, if it's about scheming, I'm afraid the three of us added together are no match for her alone."

"Ping'er, is what Qingwen said true?"

"Yes, Sister Qu, even if it's not true, it's almost the same."

"And that Miss Shen, what's going on?"

The gossip bandit Yizhihua looked at them, but none of them answered.

They all knew about Jia Min and Shen Bingyi.I thought this person had already left, but unexpectedly appeared again.

Alas, it's not enough to come with one, and two groups came, which is really fatal.

Since he and Zhao Bancheng and others are all acquaintances, Jia Min no longer hides his conversations with them. Therefore, after the two sides talked about the past, they got to the point.

Jia Min introduced Bu Kui's general situation to them, and did not hide too much about his future plans.

Of course, the depth and breadth of what is said is still somewhat controlled.The current topic is basically within the range of Bukui and South Wendula Grasslands.

Although Jia Min's plan is more far-reaching, but, speaking of it now, there is still suspicion of painting cakes to satisfy one's hunger.The big cakes of Bukui and South Wendula Grassland alone are enough for them to eat at present.When the form develops to another height in the future, they will naturally have new discoveries and plans.

Finally, the two sides agreed to carry out three projects first.

The first one is to set up a bank in Bukui.

In the past, Bu Kui did not have a bank account.The food and payment office of the Dusi Yamen is the largest pool of funds.

Financing, lending, savings, remittance and other financial businesses are difficult to carry out without a bank account.In the future, the establishment of a bank account is tantamount to injecting blood into Bu Kui's economy, and a large number of financial businesses can be carried out.

The second project is to build the Bukui City Wall.

Originally, Jia Min did not intend to build the city wall. One of the reasons was the problem of funds and manpower.Another reason is his thinking problem.

In his opinion, if a city needs to rely on the city wall to defend, the city is a failure.

If there are enemies coming, they should be wiped out when they are far away from the city.The city is the final rear, and its strategic defense circle should be thousands of miles away.

However, he later compromised.

Although the city wall is a defensive project, it is also a symbol of the city.With the city wall, there is a city, and with the city, there is a city.

Of course, the main reason is that the construction of the city wall can create employment opportunities, attract a large number of migrants, and invest a lot of money.

The third project is the development of real estate.With the influx of a large number of foreign population, residential and commercial housing, etc., will bring a lot of demand.

Through the development of real estate, it can drive the development of upstream and downstream industries such as timber, stone, and household items.

Not only can it attract a large number of laborers, but it can also allow migrants to stay and live here in peace and contentment.

Jia Min also raised the issue of supporting facilities such as schools and commercial outlets, which inspired them a lot.

However, Jia Min did not put forward mandatory requirements. He believed that these people's vision and ability would handle the relevant matters well, and he also believed that the market would automatically adjust.

The main work he has to do is to sell land and collect taxes in the future.
