The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 77 Confrontation ([-])

Seeing the people in the room discussing enthusiastically, Jia Min didn't try to stop it, but just drank tea with a smile and waited quietly.

No wonder they were so excited to wait until the last moment to reveal the mystery.These days, they have been depressed for too long, and it is time to excite them.

It can be said that these people have all been tested.Even when the prospects are unclear, they always stand with Jia Min.Under the circumstances that almost everyone is not optimistic about Jia Min, it is actually difficult enough for them to make such a choice.

When Li Hua came to get drinks in the afternoon, he once mentioned to Jiao Li that after Ping'er returned to the mansion, he went to Baoyu and Jia Rong to intercede.

While being moved by Ping'er's move, he felt a little guilty.I feel a little sorry for Pinger.Never thought that Ping'er would have such courage.

Thinking of Qin Keqing and Miaoyu secretly placing a bet on him to win, I felt a little sad.

Thinking about Shen Bingyi again, she was doing things for herself silently under pressure.

In fact, there are still many good people in this world.I have only been here for a few months, and there are these people who are willing to stand with me, so I should feel comforted and proud.

I traveled through endless time and space just to meet you here.

Not just to meet Keqing, but also to meet you.

"Brother Min, do you really want to go back to the mansion tomorrow? You can't be here without you."

Feng Ziying said worriedly.

"Tomorrow is the grand day of my ancestor's birthday, and I have to go back and kowtow to her. Besides, my ancestor has also spoken, and I have to settle some matters with the manor."

"The things here are left to you. Now, I will arrange tomorrow's activity plan. The specific division of labor is like this."

"Feng Ziying is in charge of the watermelon project. Fang Xiucai is in charge of the Ganoderma lucidum project. Chen Yejun is in charge of the apple project. Wei Ruolan is in charge of general coordination. Jiao Li is in charge of finance. Ning'er is in charge of packaging and some chores. Nan'er is in charge of collection order."

"Lin Dajiang, your Deputy Commander Qiu will arrive early tomorrow morning, and you will be responsible for maintaining order. You also participated in the release ceremony of the national wine last time. You should understand my train of thought. This time it will be the same as last time. Maintain order and security."

"Now, I will send you each of your work plans. Tonight, you must memorize every step by heart, and then discuss together to see if there is anything that needs to be coordinated."

"Lin Dajiang, tonight is the last night, so don't go to sleep, everyone is on duty, don't let up a bit of slack. Tell your brothers, if there is no problem, each person will be rewarded with 2 taels of silver tomorrow. As for you, It all depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will be willing to pay a few dozen taels of silver."

"Fourth master, please rest assured, the humble job will definitely fulfill the mission."

Jia Min distributed the various plans that he had made long ago to everyone, and went out.

It was already dark, because it was the second day of August, and the moon was not visible yet.However, the stars all over the sky seemed to be bright eyes blinking at him.

Alas, if Ping'er, Fenghua and Xueyue were here, how happy they would be if they knew this was the case.

This little girl, Fenghua, kept the secret of Ganoderma lucidum for such a long time, and even Ping'er and Xueyue didn't reveal a little bit, which is really embarrassing for her.Afterwards, I have to tell Ping'er not to bully her because of it.

Xueyue, Nan'er, and Ning'er are only teenagers, and they also showed a rare insight this time.

Now this team is beginning to look like a team.

What is Keqing doing at this time?What is Miaoyu doing?What is Baochai doing?

Alas, this Baochai is really shrewd, I am afraid that sometimes, she is a little too shrewd.

Feng Ziying came out quietly and sat beside Jia Min.

"Have you read all the plans? I will leave everything here to you tomorrow."

"After reading it, I will go back and look at it later. Don't worry, brother Min. With all these things like yours, if I still can't do well, I will be ashamed to see others."

"Of course I believe in brother."

"Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and the others are still waiting to see our jokes. I have always been in doubt. Until this moment, I am relieved. I am afraid that tomorrow, we will make a sensation in the whole city."

As Feng Ziying spoke, she became a little excited.

"This Niu Jizong is a little too eager for quick success. I don't think he can support it for a few days. At this time, he still has the heart to watch our jokes, which is really speechless."

As they talked, the people in the house came out with lights, some with shovels, sticks, and ropes, and walked towards the garden.

Tonight, they will spend the night in the garden, pulling up the rope.

"Brother Min is also tired these days, let's rest early. I'll go pull the rope with him."

"So I'll leave it to you, brother. Tomorrow, I'll prepare for the celebration banquet tonight. I'll be back on time."

Early the next morning, Jia Min finished washing, ate something casually, and left.

On the way, I met Qiu Liang and 40 soldiers, who were rushing to Yeduju.

The two talked for a while, and Jia Min told Qiu Liang that Feng Ziying would find out everything when they arrived at Yeduju, and then told Qiu Liang to stay here for a drink at night, and the two broke up.

Not too far away, they met another group of carriages, which turned out to be the madams of Meiyuelou and Yuhualou, bringing the girls.After talking to Shen Bingyi for a few words, they went their separate ways.

Going forward, you will see teams of chariots and horses coming in the direction of Yeduju in an endless stream.

Jia Min tied the horse to a tree by the side of the road, sat on the ground by himself, and just watched the pedestrians, carriages and horses passing by in front of his eyes.

Some of these people were still holding advertisements that had been pulled from the wall in their hands, talking while walking.Some of the candidates who were rushing to take the exam recited poems while walking.Each of them is quite a bit pointing to the country and arousing the momentum of the writing.

At the end of the hour, the carriage from Liansheng Gambling Shop came over, and shopkeeper Sun sat in the carriage with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Now, Jia Min felt relieved, got on his horse, and walked slowly towards the city.The next step is to go to the mansion, as long as he arrives there by Sishizheng.

Jia Min's place is free, but Yeduju's place is lively.

Just after Maoshi, many people began to gather in front of the gate of Yeduju.Since then, the crowd of horses and chariots has gathered more and more.Because the gate hadn't opened yet, some people got impatient and started cursing.

Fortunately, at this time, there were already a dozen soldiers and horses in front of the gate to maintain order, and there was a large river beach in front of the gate, so the carriages and horses could still be put down.

Even so, Wei Ruolan, who was in charge of overall coordination, was quite surprised.

When looking at the plan last night, Wei Ruolan wondered if Jia Min had exaggerated when he said that about 2000 people would come today.

Regarding the matter of asking Qiu Liang to bring 40 more people for reinforcements, I also felt that it was a bit of a fuss.

From the looks of it now, even 2000 people would be unstoppable today.Qiu Liang's 40 people came just in time.Otherwise, the original 20 people would not be enough at all.

Now he understood why Jia Min asked them to pull those ropes in the two gardens, and sent a soldier to stand guard every not far away.

Jia Lian was woken up by bursts of noise, and just as she was about to get up and get dressed, she heard someone knocking on the door.He hurriedly went down to open the door, and saw Lin Zhixiao standing at the door with a sad face.

"What's so noisy?"

"Second Master, I'm afraid something is wrong. There are many people outside."

"How many people are there?"

"I'm afraid there are more than 1000, and they will come one after another."

Jia Lian looked at his pocket watch. It was not yet Chen Shi.Suddenly remembered the task of coming here.

"Go and monitor first, don't let them do anything. Although there are many people, not all of them are here to buy things. I will arrive later."

Lin Zhixiao left, Jia Lian hurriedly washed his face, but he couldn't find Xing'er, the boy, so he went out by himself.

As soon as I went out, I saw that the yard was full of people.

Squeezing through the crowd and coming to the gate, I saw that the gate was half open, with two soldiers guarding the gate, and a row of long desks was placed beside it, those Cong Xiucai, Ge Xiucai and Zuo Tongsheng who were always wandering around in the Yedu residence, Registering.

Two soldiers were checking how much money the visitor had brought. Anyone with less than ten years of silver or without a name card would not be allowed to enter the yard.

These two rules were also written down on a piece of paper pasted to the gate.

As soon as Jia Lian thought about it, he understood the intention: this is to keep those who have little money out of the door.Those who come in are rich, so it is easy to buy things.

However, that's not all.Those candidates who came to the exam this year, even if they didn’t bring enough ten taels of silver, as long as they showed their name cards, not only could they come in, those talented students even specially told them that they could buy things on credit, as long as they were delivered to Ye Du before You o’clock today Just stay here.

That's right, if you give credit to the candidates, you are naturally not afraid of repudiating your debts.Xuezheng and the examiners value the character of the candidates very much. If the candidates are not repaid on credit, as long as they sue, no examiner will admit them.Not only was he unable to obtain fame this time, but he also left a stain in the future.

Therefore, none of the candidates would take the risk of repaying the debt for a little money.

With such an idea, such a meticulous calculation, only the fourth brother Min could come up with such a detrimental move.

For some reason, Jia Lian's mood became tense.Looking at the scene in front of him, and then thinking about the scene of selling wine last time, a sense of ominousness rose in his heart uncontrollably.

This fourth son, Min, seems to have been preparing in secret for a long time.If I can't do it well, I will be tricked by him again this time.

Jia Lian wanted to go back and look elsewhere, but he couldn't retreat, and the soldiers were not allowed to go back casually, but could only follow the direction of the flow of people coming in, along the rope.

Every not far away on the wall, there is an arrow, indicating the direction of walking, and at a certain distance, there is a soldier maintaining order. Anyone who walks indiscriminately, jumps in line, or goes against the road will be immediately scolded by the soldiers.

Therefore, although there are many people, they are very orderly.

Looking at the rope on the ground, the words on the wall and the arrows, Jia Lian scolded Jia Min thousands of times in his heart.

Fourth Min, you dirty bastard, none of these things were there before going to bed last night, why did they all pop up when you woke up!
