Jia Cong did not expect that Wang Xifeng did not flirt with him, but Jia Lian took the initiative to come to his door in the evening of the next day.
"Brother Lian, it's so fast!"
After saying hello with a smile, the two of them talked in the pavilion in the big house and small garden.
However, the garden was completely bald and there was no scenery at all, which even made Jia Lian feel uncomfortable sitting in the pavilion.
"Third brother is so talented. I heard that my wife's flower dew is made from flowers!"
Even though he felt uncomfortable, Jia Lian didn't care too much and directly overturned Jia Cong's old record on the flower dew.
"Brother Lian, didn't you come here to help publish story books?"
Jia Cong, the old man, smiled and asked, "I don't want to get too involved in my wife's affairs, and I can't afford to get involved!"
There is nothing surprising at all about Jia Lian telling the truth about Hua Lu. It would be strange if Jia Lian had been kept in the dark.
In any case, Jia Lian is the "big steward" in charge of foreign affairs in the Rongguo Mansion, and he has great influence on foreign affairs related to the mansion.
Although Mrs. Xing was very cautious about the flower dew matter, and even arranged the matter to be handled by Xing Zhong and his wife who came from Jinling, the collection and management of the accounts fell on Wang Shanbao and his wife.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The only confidant Mrs. Xing can trust is the Wang Shanbao family.
As for Granny Fei and his ilk, even Mrs. Xing looks down upon them.
Now that Wang Shanbao has come forward, it is naturally difficult to escape Jia Lian's spy, and it is not difficult to know that the flower dew workshop that has become very famous in the capital is Mrs. Xing's property.
The old lady in the house, the second wife and Wang Xifeng didn't know the profits of the flower dew workshop. How could Jia Lian, who was often out and about, not know?
As I said before, Rongguo Mansion is an extra-large sieve, whether it is the second bedroom in the core or the general mansion of the first bedroom.
With Jia Lian's methods, it is not difficult at all to find out that Jia Cong is the initiator of the Hua Lu incident. Jia Cong cannot keep silent, nor does he have such strength.
The main purpose of his coming here this time was to get the recipe for making flower dew.
"Third brother, don't say secret words in front of a bright person!"
Of course Jia Lian understands Jia Cong's situation, but it has nothing to do with him. If there are not enough benefits, it will not be easy for him to help run errands.
"It's easy to ask my brother to help me publish story books, but there is one condition. You have to make the recipe for the flower dew for my brother!"
"Brother Lian has a huge appetite!"
Jia Cong put away the smile on his face and said directly: "Opening your mouth is the recipe for making flower dew. Does Brother Lian know how profitable flower dew is?"
Naturally, he would not tell the whole story about the 'one-shot deal'. Since Jia Lian was acting like a trader, he would just make a deal.
Jia Lian was a little dazed, feeling that the young man sitting opposite him was unusual, but the next moment he lost this ridiculous illusion.
It has to be said that Jia Cong looks like a strong young man at this time, much more powerful than a boy. At least Jia Lian has no intention of perfunctory and coaxing.
"Of course I know this!"
A slight smile appeared on his face. If he didn't know the huge profits, how could he ask for it regardless of his face?
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite!"
Seeing Jia Lian's attitude, Jia Cong was not polite and asked directly: "What is the scale of the printing workshop and bookstore belonging to the General's Mansion?"
He naturally understands Jia Lian's thoughts and also understands why Jia Lian behaves the way he does.
Although Jia Lian is responsible for the external affairs of Rongguo Mansion, he really doesn't have much money in his hands.
It is true that you can make money outside, but the amount is definitely not large. Jia Lian is a playboy himself. I heard that he often has social interactions with noble young masters, which is also a very expensive job.
There are "understanding people" like Wang Xifeng who are watching and want to make a lot of money from the process of handling foreign affairs. Stop dreaming.
Now that she knew that Mrs. Xing was making a lot of money by making floral dew, she naturally couldn't help but want a piece of the pie.
In this case, Jia Cong has nothing to be polite about.
"Why do you ask?"
Jia Lian was full of doubts, but he answered honestly: "It's not big!"
This is a normal situation. Even if a noble family attaches great importance to studying, it is impossible to put too many resources on it.
"Brother Lian, do you think this is good?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "I will give you the recipe for making flower dew. How about you find a way to hand over the management of the printing workshop and bookstore to me?"
"Are you crazy?"
Jia Lian was really surprised now. He looked Jia Cong up and down several times and sneered: "I don't know where you got the confidence to take over the management of the printing workshop and bookstore. If you are not careful, you will suffer a lot."
of!"
There was a slight wave of excitement in my heart. I never thought that Jia Cong, the seemingly inconspicuous concubine of a wealthy family, would have such ambitions.
Of course, he didn't care. The age gap between the two was too big. Although Jia Cong was ambitious, he had no influence on him, the eldest son of the eldest son.
"Brother Lian, the printing workshop and bookstore controlled by the General's Mansion should not be of high value. Otherwise, why have I never heard of them?"
Jia Cong disagreed and chuckled: "But making prescriptions for flower dew is a business that can easily make a lot of money!"
Hearing this, Jia Lian hesitated...
As Jia Cong said, the printing workshops and bookstores controlled by the General's Mansion were small in scale and had been losing money.
Jia Lian, the outside manager, basically paid no attention to such 'losers'.
If Jia Cong hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten such an inconspicuous property as the General's Mansion and never cared about it at all.
In this case, it is not impossible to transfer the management rights to Jia Cong. Of course, Jia Cong has to exchange the flower dew recipe. He feels that such a transaction is indeed feasible.
only……
Jia Cong is just a concubine of a wealthy family. He can get the management rights of the property in the mansion at a young age. Once he is exposed, it will be a big deal.
When the time comes, Jia Cong will definitely not be able to take advantage of it, and even Jia Lian himself will not be able to find a solution.
My parents are here and I don’t want to buy property!
Such rules are not a joke. The government is currently allocating almost all resources to Jia Baoyu, the Phoenix Egg, and will not allow the concubine of the Jade generation to get ahead easily. Once such a sign occurs, it is no joke.
It is conceivable that Jia Cong will encounter a ****-like suppression when the time comes.
Jia Lian finally had his conscience intact and was not ready to risk everything for money. He directly pointed out the dangers involved and finally said: "You have thought about it. I can give you the management rights of the printing workshop and the bookstore. But if there is a problem,
I have no ability to save people in the event of an accident, so I have to make it clear beforehand!"
"Brother Lian, haven't you heard what I've been talking about all this time about the printing workshop and bookstore of the General's Mansion?"
Jia Cong rolled his eyes and said: "It's really going to be exposed. The one who should be most concerned about should be the eldest master. What is Brother Lian worried about..."
Let me tell you, it’s really not water. Pig’s feet are only that old. The world of Dream of Red Mansions is in a feudal era. In many cases, clan is more important than king’s law. This volume echoes the plot of the main world, and there is no intention to kill by beating.
Mainly, but through the world of Dream of Red Mansions, to verify some things that are difficult to try in the main world and strengthen itself.
