Jia Yun said calmly: "Last year I was awarded a title, and the old lady rewarded me with two thousand taels of silver. At that time, the prince of Beijing County also rewarded me with fifty taels of gold. In addition, in the past year, I have partnered with a friend to do business.
I made nearly 2,000 taels of silver from buying and selling, doing business in pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, and pencil erasers."
Jia Yun knew that if he said this this time, Jia Mu would not reward him easily in the future.
But he said it anyway.
This matter has inevitably spread, and now he no longer needs to rely on Jia Mu to reward him with silver.
Pencils and other sales and "Dragon Babu" brought him a total of 2,500 taels of silver income in the past year, and it will definitely be more in the next year.
What's more, he has already begun to plan a third way to make money...
The silver reward given to Jia Mu here is actually small in comparison. The reason why she was rewarded two thousand taels at once last year was because he was awarded a title.
A young man must never be without money, and a grown man must never be without power.
In fact, every time Jia Yun received silver rewards from Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, she felt a little uncomfortable. Last year, Jia Yun was considered a man after being conferred a title. If he continues to rely on Jia's family's rewards in the future,
As long as Yin lives his life, he can never get rid of his identity as a little husband.
If Jia's family rewards him with silver, he will accept it; if he doesn't, it doesn't matter to him.
Rongqingtang became quiet again...
Because Jia Yun originally sent a lot of pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, and pencil erasers to Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion became one of the first places in the Qing Dynasty where these things became popular.
In today's Rongguo Mansion, many slaves have bought these things themselves.
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Nephew Yun, it's strange that you gave us so many pencils and other things. It turned out that you were doing these businesses. Don't blame me for telling you. Why did you hide this? I actually
I’ve never heard of it from you, and this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
Jia Yun had no choice but to repeat what he had said to Bu Wuniang and Xiren before: "I am a man who has been knighted and awarded an official title, and I am also a martial arts student. To me, this kind of business affairs are not very important, that is,
I didn’t tell you anymore.”
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "I have heard that pencil business can be very profitable. Brother Yun is not only a martial arts prodigy, he is also good at business. He has earned so much money in just one year."
In the Rongqing Hall, many maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law looked at Jia Yun with bright eyes, thinking that this second master Yun is really amazing, he looks brave, he is a martial arts genius, and he is a young man.
Those who achieved military merit and were awarded titles and official titles are now even talented in business...
Jia Mu appreciates Jia Yun more. Although she seldom cares about money, she has never been short of money in her life, but she also knows the importance of money.
In her opinion, it is a good thing that Jia Yun can make money. What's more, Jia Yun did not spend the money she earned and saved it to buy a mansion. This is comparable to Jia She who only knows how to spend money extravagantly but does not know how to make money.
Jia Zhen is much stronger.
Jia Yun said: "I would like to invite the old lady to take the people in my house to have a banquet at my house the day after tomorrow. I wonder if the old lady is willing to reward me?"
Jia Mu did not hesitate: "Since you have opened a mansion, I will naturally go there, and I will try to bring as many people as possible with you. In addition, don't forget to invite people from the clan to go. This is etiquette."
Jia Yun nodded: "Yes."
Youshi felt embarrassed. She had a good impression of Jia Yun and wanted to visit Jia Yun's mansion and join the others to have a fun time.
However, since Jia Yun made a big fuss in Ning Guo Mansion last year, Jia Yun and Ning Guo Mansion have been at odds.
Almost everyone in Ning Rong's second house and the Jia family knew about this.
This time, Jia Mu asked Jia Yun to invite people from the clan, but did not mention Ningguo Mansion, not only because she knew about it, but also because she knew that Jia Zhen would not be willing to go.
Jia Yun immediately said: "Old lady, I want to open a mansion, but there are too few people at home. Even if I add my five personal soldiers, there are only about ten people in total, and the manpower is not enough."
"The old lady in Touli rewarded me with a cook. She was chosen by my second aunt, called Sister-in-law Liu. She has a daughter named Liu Wuer. Although she is still young, she is well-behaved and sensible. She has a good appearance. I
My mother liked her very much, so she wanted to ask the old lady to get her."
Many people in Rongqing Hall were thinking in their hearts: Second Master Yun has asked the old lady for a maid again!
Jia Mu nodded: "It's a little girl born at home, you can take it if you want."
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun said again: "In addition, I also want to ask the old lady to reward me with a cook and two maids."
Jia Mu: "..."
In my mind: What do you think of me? You are really not polite to me!
Mother Jia stared at Jia Yun for a while, as if she didn't like this guy again...
But, alas, it’s better to endure it. After all, Xiren and Zijuan gave him everything at the beginning, and later gave him two thousand taels of silver all at once. Just now, they had already given him a little girl, and then a cook, two thousand taels of silver.
It's no big deal to have a maid.
Thinking of this, Jia Yun gently bit her tooth crown: "Okay, I'll reward you."
Jia Yun immediately smiled and said, "I knew the old lady was kind and generous."
Mother Jia couldn't laugh or cry. Although she usually liked hearing this kind of admiration, now when she heard what Jia Yun said, she felt that something was wrong, as if she was being taken advantage of...
…
…
Shortly after Jia Yun left, Lin Daiyu returned to Dongshoujian with Qianxue, and a small conflict immediately occurred between the two.
Qianxue: "Girl, let's go."
Lin Daiyu: "I won't go."
Qian Xue: "Girl, please, let's go together. I'm very curious about what the mansion Mr. Yun bought is like."
Lin Daiyu: "If you are curious, you can go. I won't go anyway."
Qianxue: "I am the girl's maid now. If the girl doesn't go, what does it mean if I go?"
Lin Daiyu: "No matter what you say, I won't go anyway."
Qian Xue softly "hummed".
At this time, Jia Baoyu suddenly came in and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qianxue said: "I asked the girl to go to Master Yun's house for a banquet, but she didn't go."
Jia Baoyu was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's great. It just so happens that I won't go either. Many people in the house will go there in the future. If my sister doesn't go, you and I will probably be the only ones left in the courtyard that day. Isn't it a beautiful thing?"
thing?"
Lin Daiyu stood up immediately after hearing this and said proudly: "Qian Xue, let's go together the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, she walked away.
Jia Baoyu: "..."
Alas, the big-faced baby is so aggrieved!
Qianxue smiled "hehe": "Thank you, Mr. Bao. If Mr. Bao hadn't said so, the girl would never have gone."
Jia Baoyu: "..."
Alas, the big-faced baby is even more aggrieved!
…
…
The day after tomorrow, many people from the Rongguo Mansion came to Jia Yun's house, including Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Sanchun, Lin Daiyu, Yuanyang, Qianxue, and so on.
Well, Jia Baoyu is here too, of course not for Jia Yun, but for Lin Daiyu.
Jia She, Mrs. Xing didn't come.
Jia Zhen didn't come, and You couldn't come even if he wanted to.
There are also some branches of the Jia family who came, but Jia Xiao, Jin, Jia Qin and others did not come.
Today Jia Yun opened the main door and invited everyone to come in.
Most of the people who came here brought congratulatory gifts and money, both large and small.
The total value of the congratulatory gifts and gift money has reached 500 taels!
Mainly Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng sent many congratulatory gifts and gifts. Jia Mu not only sent valuable congratulatory gifts, but also brought a gift of one hundred taels of silver.
And the cost of this banquet was only one hundred taels of silver.
When Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng saw the inner courtyard on West Road where Bu Wuniang lived, they were envious. The scale of this residence exceeded their residence in Rongguo Mansion.
Both of them are rich women, and both of them can afford such a mansion worth several thousand taels. The problem is, as the wives and grandmothers of Rongguo Mansion, they will certainly not be allowed to go out and buy a mansion.
After Tanchun visited the mansion, he felt proud of Jia Yun again and appreciated Jia Yun as a "very capable brother" even more.
After Yuanyang saw the side room of the main courtyard where Xiren and Zijuan lived, he felt happy for the two good sisters but also envied them. Once again, he felt that these two good sisters had a great fortune.
Qianxue was depressed. Alas, after seeing this mansion, especially Xiren and Zijuan's residence, she wanted to be Jia Yun's maid.
However, she also felt that since she followed Lin Daiyu, she should serve Lin Daiyu well in the future.
After inviting people from the Rongguo Mansion and the Jia family on this day, Jia Yun invited friends from outside again on the second day.
Including Cao Wu, Tang Daqian, Ni Hu, Ni Er...
Jing Zhanyao also came.
Although Cao Wei and Tang Anping did not come, they asked Cao Wu and Tang Daqian to send valuable gifts and gifts.
Chu Mingkai also sent people to send congratulatory gifts and gifts.
In addition, Jia Yun also invited Shui Rong, and the two are now considered friends.
Shui Rong also came. Prince Shuizhen of Beijing County did not come, but Shui Rong sent him valuable gifts and gold. This gift and gold alone were worth two hundred taels of silver!
Yesterday and today, after holding two banquets, Jia Yun earned 800 taels of silver in gifts and gifts.
This is the benefit of becoming a man!
I think back in the early days of Jia Yun's time travel, it was so difficult and tortuous to get a hundred taels of silver. Looking back on it now, it feels like it's a lifetime ago.
After the two-day banquet was over, Jia Yun closed the main door of the house.
According to the rules of this era, generally speaking, the main entrance of the mansion is not opened unless there is an important event.
Jia Yun's mansion will be like this in the future, and the most used door will be the west corner door.
Not long after, Jia Yun sold the second-level house in Xiaohuazhi Hutong for 480 taels, which was 20 taels less than the expected 500 taels, but she still made a profit. She only spent 400 taels on the original purchase.
two.
…
…
Ten days later, during the Spring Festival.
On this day, Aunt Lai came to Rongqing Hall to pay New Year's greetings to Jia Mu.
There was a girl beside her. This girl was smart and pretty, with a slim waist, slim shoulders, and her eyebrows and figure looked a bit like Lin Daiyu...
She looks like a young lady, but she is actually the maid that Grandma Lai bought with money.
She has the body of a young lady but is destined to be a maid!
Her current name is still tacky, but later in the original work, her name was Qingwen!
