The mother Xing was fighting with the ancestor duke. Taking advantage of this moment, Jia Cong took a step forward and asked side by side: "Miss, does there be an aunt in the Jia family in the capital?"

"You are..." Xing Xiuyan vigilantly opened the distance, and was very beautiful. She looked at him with her eyes for a long time. Seeing that he was dressed, she knew that he was a scholar, but not very strong. Is this a shameless person who covets himself? Even the Xing family's in-laws had asked about it? She had ulterior motives.

Jia Cong was basically sure that she was Xing Xiuyan. Her family background, household registration, appearance, surname, temperament, and together, there was no other person. This was her cousin. Of course, it was only nominal and not blood-related. Mrs. Xing and no one in the Jia family were related.

No wonder, no wonder, the family of the first-class general, Mrs. Jia She, lived so poorly. Firstly, Mrs. Xing disregarded her relatives and did not rely on anyone. Secondly, I guess that cheap uncle Xing Zhong would not live even. Before Miaoyu entered Beijing, they rented a temple in Xuanmeng Mountain by Taihu Lake. Panxiang Temple belonged to Miaoyu.

"If Jia Cong is in the lower Jia family, who was settled in the capital from Jinling, if the girl and her family have a marriage with the Jia family, then she will be my cousin." Jia Cong said.

Xing Xiuyan smiled and did not answer and explained that her aunt, Mrs. Xing, married into the Jia family and had almost no contact with the Xing family. She took away many dowry for nothing and never took care of the Xing family. Besides, Mrs. Xing has no biological children, and Jia Lian is the legitimate son, so Mrs. Xing is like Youshi, who is filling a house. It can be said that neither Mrs. Xing nor the Jia family are helpful to the Xing family at present.

She often heard her parents complain that her aunt didn't care about it, and Xing Zhong was thick-skinned and even planned to go to Beijing to join the family. However, although Xing Xiuyan could not confirm the authenticity, she was not angry. Due to the dispute in front of her, she said: "It turns out that she is a relative from Beijing. Let's talk about it after passing this... My aunt is indeed the eldest wife of the Jia family..."

Jia Cong was relieved and finally had a place to settle down. Xing Xiuyan didn't surprise him. The feeling in front of him was as bright as Qin Keqing, but his temperament was quite good. Miaoyu was still very good at training people.

"Stop quarreling, how much does it cost to you Qingxing? The mother and daughter of the Xing family, as well as the three of us from a foreigner, paid together." Jia Cong stepped forward and said.

The leader, the Duke of the Ancestor and a dozen thugs stared at each other coldly. They saw that it was a young scholar, dressed in a square scarf and a colorful shirt. Long Aotian following behind was even more intimidating. They sneered disdainfully.

The ancestor's Duke was different, his eyes flashed for a while, and he sneered: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Our Qingxing also has rules. We use people's money to eliminate disasters. The young master's luggage is only for our Qingxing Town, Shengze Town, and five taels of silver!"

Five taels of silver is not a small amount, it is the annual salary of a Jiangnan worker. The official stipulates that one tael is exchanged for two thousand coins, and the exchange rate varies from place to place.

In Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou and other places, the yield per mulberry leaves is generally 1,600 kilograms of mulberry leaves, which can feed 16 kilograms of silkworms and release 16 kilograms of silk. The price of rice varies from one tael of silver to one stone. The price of raw silk is about 80 cents of silver every kilograms, and ten kilograms are six to eight cents of silver.

The reason why mulberry trees and cotton are widely promoted in Jiangnan is determined by the terrain and climate, and the yield per mu is better than wheat and rice. In addition, tenants need to exclude rents and taxes, and when selling raw silk, they may be subject to layered exploitation of stools, dentists and silk silk.

Isn’t this an obvious trickery?

Why?

Because of the banking business, the banking business is the leader of grassroots relationship accounts. The banking business is a modern broker, an intermediary, and it is common to force buying and selling.

Besides, the battle industry cannot be considered as the modern streets of gangsters. It is not an exaggeration at all. The ancient battle industry has beaten the gangsters several streets. They contacted the yamen, beat people, cheated, and some people were punished by sticks. They can buy them to punish them. Even if you pay a lot of money to kill people, they also do spies, assassins, killers, etc., all of them are concentrated on them... Well, that is, they do everything except good things, not just fights, can the gangsters compare?

According to the civilization and professional statement of historical circles, this is an inevitable product of the development of the commodity economy.

"The price is not small, five taels of silver, yes..." Jia Cong shrugged, took out five taels of silver, and threw it on the ground: "Pick it up, take the horse and carry the goods to Xing's house."

Several thugs were angry: "Duke, can you beat me? This kid deserves a beating! Damn it! Do you think we are begging for food?!"

"Let's go!" The Duke Zu waved his hand to stop him. His eyes were gloomy. In this era, just looking at his dress, dress, words and deeds, one could roughly determine his identity. Jia Cong was so young, and his domineering and fearless attitude could not be disguised. Why was he not afraid of us? It must be that he had a background. The Duke Zu looked at Xing Xiuyan unwillingly and said with his eyes: "Is the young man a scholar? I don't know which family he is from? Dongqingpu, Shanghai, Nanhuzhou, Jiaxing, Beiwu County, Changzhou, Xitaihu Islands, from south to north, traveling east and west. Zu also knew a few noble people. How could he ask which family the young master came from?"

"I'm not among you Wu Yue, so stop talking nonsense! Do you help or not? Are there any industry rules?" Jia Cong said impatiently, and that look like a big boy, looking at people with his nostrils.

The ancestor duke smiled and said hideously: "Let's go!"

The people they fought were heading west and the boats were ships on the water. A thug said angrily: "Brother Zu, that guy hasn't even grown all his hair, so he's afraid he's a bird!"

"Be careful, no big mistake. You have been following you in the past. You have to ask for your identity so that you can get it back. We can do nothing meaningless. Shengze Inspection Department, Wujiang County Government, we still have acquaintances. Strange... I have never heard of anyone the Xing family met... Humph, that kid is probably going to be someone else's girl!" The ancestor duke sat on the boat, and the ship shook. Xing Zhong has been in a more and more depressed life in recent years, and he dared not use the name of the Jia family to scare people, because Mrs. Xing had too few contacts and might not be able to speak for the Xing family.

Even later, when Xing Xiuyan entered Beijing, Mrs. Xing didn't care about her and gave her nothing. The whole family went to surrender, and Mrs. Xing looked bad.

...

Shengze Town went to Wujiang County more than 40 miles, and the waterways were well connected. Feng Menglong's "Awakening the World" in the late Ming Dynasty described the unprecedented grand occasion of Shengze Town: there were about a thousand silk teeth on both sides of the city and river, and the villages and villages were weaved into silk, and they were all listed here. Merchants from all over the world came to buy it, and bees gathered and ants gathered, but they couldn't get away.

Xiangdong moved goods and took the two of them to the water boat. Xing Xiuyan sat quietly in the boat. Jia Cong gave the certificate of fame. At this point, Xing's mother believed it a little. Xing's mother asked her well, "When will Brother Cong come? How can the girl in Beijing (sister-in-law) be there?"

"The eldest wife is sick and undisaster. I'm fine. We brothers went south to do business and asked me to come and see you." Jia Cong sat on the cloth pad.

Xing Xiuyan frowned and said, "I blame you for implicating you. Those who fight, teeth, silk, vines are connected to melons, melons are connected to vines, and melons are connected to vines. They are very powerful, why should they humiliate them?"

"Sister is wrong. You must not tolerate such things. Don't worry, I'm sure. They are all relatives, so why are you polite?" Jia Cong looked out the window. It was evening. The boat floated across the Jiangnan Arch Bridge like leaves. When we got ashore, we were street shops. A small town in Shengze was as prosperous as prefectures.

[Note: In the previous chapter, Shengze Town is written incorrectly 90 miles from Wujiang County Yamen. That is Zhenze, Zhenze, Shengze is also similar, but it is not the same place. Shengze Town is more than 40 miles from Wujiang County Yamen.

In the spoken language of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there is a meaning that the sister-in-law calls her sister-in-law: Jin Wenxiang’s wife calls Yuanyang a girl, one proof. Grandma Huang calls Hu a girl, and the other proof. Jin Rong’s mother is Hu, and Grandma Huang is Jin Rong’s aunt, that is, Jin Rong’s father’s sister-in-law, and Hu’s sister-in-law. This is self-evident.
