Jia Cong smiled and saluted Lin Daiyu, making the little girl very embarrassed.
"This is the third child of your uncle's family. His name is Jia Cong. He is a restless monkey. You might as well call him to play when you have free time!"
When Lin Daiyu, the distinguished guest, was in person, Mrs.
“Brother Cong is so energetic!”
Covering her mouth and smiling softly, Lin Daiyu's mind was obviously relaxed, and her eyebrows were a little less sad. Perhaps it was a natural reaction to seeing her peers, or perhaps she was infected by Jia Cong's playful and ungrateful smile.
"Hey, I just had a full meal and took a walk in the garden. Can I stay energetic?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Sister Lin is not in a good state of mind. Is she physically and mentally exhausted from the journey?"
Just kidding, in modern society, adults will feel tired if they fly and take high-speed trains between Yangzhou and Beijing, let alone Lin Daiyu, who has traveled a long distance by boat for more than a month?
If you don't get sick at a young age, you are already in good health.
The delicate demeanor described in the opening chapter of The Red Chamber is simply incomprehensible.
"Oh, look, I forgot that Daiyu was tired from the journey!"
Mrs. Xing reacted, glanced at Lin Daiyu, and said hurriedly: "Go and ask the master when he is free!"
As a result, Jia She wanted to drink and have fun with his young wife, so he had no time to pay attention to Lin Daiyu, his niece. Of course, the maid who replied was not stupid and said it so straightforwardly.
Mrs. Xing looked rather unhappy, but she could only help smooth things over and send Lin Daiyu to the second room.
"Well, what are you doing here if you don't go back home? Are you asking for a beating?"
When he turned around and saw that Jia Cong was still hanging around, his expression suddenly changed, he waved his hand and snorted: "Where is your nanny? Where did she die?"
"Madam, Sister Lin's family is from a wealthy family in Suzhou, and her father is the Yangzhou salt inspector. Don't you have any ideas?"
Jia Cong didn't care at all about Mrs. Xing's bad attitude and tone. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "If you mess around a few times, it's all money!"
I have to eat and drink at Madam Xing's place from now on, so how can I do it if I don't say hello in advance?
Since we know that Mrs.
"Well, what should I say?"
The words "white money" immediately aroused Mrs. Xing's sensitive nerves. In response, her eyes were bright and her tone was much gentler as she stared at Jia Cong.
“It’s easy!”
Jia Cong, the old god, was there and said leisurely: "I contacted Uncle Lin through Sister Lin. My wife should have relatives in Jinling. It's not a problem to find someone reliable to help deliver letters and ask for some salt. If you change hands, it will be nothing but money."
ah!"
As for whether it was illegal or not, he didn't care at all.
Lin Ruhai has been serving as Yangzhou's salt inspector for many years. If he couldn't do such a small thing, he would have been eaten to the bone long ago.
How much silver can be exchanged for several portions of salt?
It's just an income source. If the Xing family could really join the ranks of salt merchants with this, Jia Cong would not hesitate to look down on them.
"Can you really do this?"
Mrs. Xing was a little moved, but also a little hesitant, and said anxiously: "Is there going to be any problem?"
After all, he was born in Jinling and had heard a lot about Yangzhou salt merchants.
"As long as you are not greedy, just so that Sister Lin can live more comfortably in our house, Uncle Lin will not refuse and will help make arrangements!"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Of course, the premise is that the wife can persuade Sister Lin to help, maybe the second bedroom will also have such an idea!"
"Huh, I won't let them succeed!"
When Mrs. Xing mentioned the second wife, she immediately became energetic and high-spirited. All worries were thrown aside. With the attraction of the free money, she made an immediate decision.
"My wife is wise!"
Jia Cong smiled playfully and praised without conscience. He looked at the slanting sunshine outside and said to the maid next to him: "What time has it been? Why haven't you served dinner yet?"
It seemed to the eldest maid that Mrs.
After saying that, he patted Jia Cong's shoulder very affectionately, took Wang Shanbao's family, and the eldest maid away and left: "I'm going to Rongqing Hall, Cong'er can use it by herself first!"
When I got out of the courtyard where the first-class general's residence was located and got in the car, I felt something was wrong, as if I had been deceived.
"Wang Shanbao's family, do you think it's possible to do what that bastard said?"
His tone was a little hesitant, for fear that a good thing would be just an illusion.
"Madam, I can't say for sure!"
Wang Shanbao's family was also a little hesitant and said hesitantly: "But what the third master said is not unreasonable. You have to give it a try. After all, it is a way to make money!"
"Well, I don't know how that bastard knows this!"
Mrs. Xing felt a little comforted, and as if she remembered something, she directly ordered: "Go back and ask that boy how he knows this, and ask him clearly!"
Wang Shanbao's family responded and had to turn back to the courtyard where the General's Mansion was located halfway. They happened to see Jia Cong eating so much that his mouth was full of oil. He ignored the weirdness in his heart and hurriedly asked. She was indeed muttering in her heart.
"What's so strange about this?"
He casually threw the gnawed chicken leg bones on the table and put a small piece of crispy meat into his mouth. Jia Cong didn't take it seriously and said vaguely: "Many of the stewards in the mansion are outside. Taking advantage of the name of Rongguo Mansion,
I'm just trying to make money by trying to make money, and what I'm saying is just following suit, and using Uncle Lin's power, what's the big deal?"
Wang Shanbao's family is speechless, and Jia Cong's reason is indeed sufficient. She knows very well what the gang of powerful people in the house are doing outside. She has long been filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred in her heart. Now she has the opportunity to learn from it, and she is very happy.
.
By the time she came back from her beautiful reverie and wanted to ask for more details, Jia Cong had already eaten and ran away, leaving only a mess on the table.
After setting the fire, Jia Cong would not think out all his thoughts. He knew Mrs. Xing's temperament quite well.
Once it loses its use value, it's just waiting to be demolished.
After leaving the main courtyard where Mrs. Xing was staying, she took the initiative to go to the cheap old man Jia She to say hello, but was kicked away without even entering the door. He didn't care at all, as long as he didn't let others take advantage of the etiquette.
Okay. He doesn't want to be criticized for his filial piety, and I am the biggest negative example.
The original owner's simple memory contains a lot of content about filial piety, and the Rongguo Mansion still attaches great importance to education in this area.
On the way back, I started breathing to carry Qi and blood, speeding up digestion and strengthening the body...
