Chapter 378 Merry Grand View Garden
After walking in the backyard of Narcissus Temple for a while, vines tangs and moss cloth and stone slabs were surrounded by mullets, which had no advantages except quietness. When I came back to the middle hall, there was a statue of the God of Luo in the middle, with edges and corners worn and parts falling off, and the afterglow was still there. Jia Cong came out of the front yard patio, and a little nun came in in person, with handsome eyebrows and familiar outlines, and I couldn't remember: "Is the Taoist priest... a yard?"
"It wasn't the case before, but it's probably OK today." The Taoist nun held a long bamboo broom in her hand, and perhaps she was cleaning the fallen leaves outside.
"How to say it?"
"A noble grandmother and I took down the entire temple with my sister-in-law and said that I would help take care of it. I happened to be sold here. This uncle is also a noble man who forgot about it." The young nun was full of heroism and had a charm. He cleared his throat: "The green phoenix feathers were tied with a broom fork, and he was idle to sweep the fallen flowers for the immortal..."
A familiar Kunkun water grinding tune, Jia Cong suddenly realized: "Fangguan..."
Fang Guan was originally bought by Jia Qiang from Jiangnan by Ling Guan. A visit to the imperial concubine changed their fate. The nobles and capital played with the lower class at will. During the filial piety period of the old concubine, various opera troupes had to be disbanded. Twelve people followed the ups and downs. Fang Guan was first a maid and maid by Baoyu, and then was exerted by Mrs. Wang, named "Ci". He became a monk with Zhishan and others. In fact, the old nuns were used as slaves. Mrs. Wang removed the "fox spirit" and earned a reputation for benevolence and righteousness for nothing.
Ruo Qingwen and Jia Baoyu had already followed Fang Guan Huixiang's storm, and Fang's soul had dissipated.
After not seeing her for several years, Jia Cong saw that her personality had changed drastically and she would not resist frivolously. Her phoenix eyes were no longer glorious. It should be the torture of the world, which made her self-protection with closed audio and visual experience. When she came out of the mountain, she occasionally passed by beggars, and the path was deserted. In a blur, she heard the song "When Appreciating Flowers" floating in her mind. Jia Cong felt sad: "Li Wan chose this place to be a place for fun in the secret meetings, and chose such a person who learned to be good at it. She was really cautious and had a close personality to me."
It was almost time for funeral day, and Jia Cong watched the scenery along the way without any haste, or entered Guanxiangfang, listened to the sound of the market, looked at the folk customs, and gradually became cheerful. Finally, he returned to his house. As usual, he wanted to bid farewell to the elders and discuss various matters such as funeral.
In the east of the West Mansion, Mrs. Xing, wearing a filial piety dress with a slain linen, was bloated and beautiful, without any loss, and seemed to be satisfied with her husband's death. Looking around the room, everyone gathered to pay tribute. Mrs. Xing took the Jinan autumn dew white presented by Ping'er, lifted the tea lid and fanned it back and forth, and was very proud: "I like the famous products from various places, the specialties of Sanwu from the hometown, especially the spices and ivory of Nanyang. Logically speaking, the family should also do some constant industries and stabilize expenses. By relying on the village alone, it would not work in previous years."
The concubine's son Jia Cong was involved in the most profitable maritime trade in ancient times. He never lacked money in his small treasury. His mother, Mrs. Xing, deserved to please him. The stingy and selfish Mrs. Xing received a lot of benefits. How happy is that when Jia She died, I am the only one in the big house. Who else can I do?
"Mrs. I have a long-term concern. Those who have no permanent property have no perseverance. I have been well-off recently. I want to propose to open two money houses, including money house bills, silver exchange, silver and copper exchange, and private money can also be minted to help market circulation. Money is expensive and cheap, private money is flooded, and it is not afraid of violations of the law, and it has a stable profit of two or three times, which is a long-term solution." Xue Baochai is slow.
Jia Cong didn't know whether to be relieved or smiled bitterly, and thought: "The trade port was opened, and the maritime trade was prosperous, which stimulated the capital and productivity of business people. At this time, the most advanced method was not war, but finance, economic leverage, and Mazhe economics... Sister Bao's vision was indeed accurate. The Xue family had already started a pawnshop, but unfortunately... my brother-in-law Xue Pan had no brains."
"If you start a money house, you can say at least 20,000 taels. This money costs 40,000 taels of silver. If you gather merchants in the capital, you are not afraid of not being able to continue. It is indeed a long-term way." Ping'er thought about it and agreed.
"Open it, just don't eat too much." Jia Cong nodded and thought: "Money house and bill number must be paid attention to in the future. If the economy collapses, the country and the country will have to be spared."
Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian's eyes shining, and her mother and son did not know economic means at all. However, one was a top-notch enthusiast of making money, and the other was a top-notch enthusiast of spending money. She always dreamed of getting rich overnight and spending millions. Mrs. Xing smiled: "Thank you young masters and grandmas, the dozens of wives, concubines and maids of the master, I left two commands, and I'll send the rest to save money."
"Qiutong..." Jia Lian blurted out anxiously and then smiled awkwardly.
"Go." Ping'er sneer calmly.
Xue Baochai seemed to have not heard of it. Jia Cong touched his nose, and the woman behind him was also very messy. He laughed fifty steps, coughed twice, and bid farewell to him. Seeing that all his sons and daughters-in-law were gone, Mrs. Xing looked at her heroic: "Qiu Tong, Yanhong, let's click on the furniture again."
Going back to the private warehouse of the room, Mrs. Xing couldn't love this way, and she couldn't be so happy. She flipped through the accounts and couldn't bear to release the book. She felt that she shouldn't let anyone know her private life. Thinking of this, she felt heartbroken that Wang Shanbao's family was driven out, and there were no proud people around her. She handled an antique painting fan obtained by Jia She colluding with Jia Yucun to cheat Shi Daizi, and she couldn't put it down again. She said to herself in obsessively: "It must be worth a lot of money, so I'll take it to the antiques store to bid."
The golden box and silver box were dazzling. Mrs. Xing leaned down from her bloated body and took out the pearl necklaces sold by dozens of Jia She's concubines and maids one by one. It was like a desert hiker approaching the water source. She felt a huge sense of satisfaction and security, and sneered: "It's all mine! Whoever marrys you, don't want to snatch it away!"
The cold wind blew the white lanterns all over the yard, the candles on the lamp table were like tears, and the bright red autumn copper felt terrifying.
"The master and wife never care about the second girl's monthly routine and all the affairs." Qingwen in the bedroom complained and waited for her master to change her casual clothes.
Xiangling helped pack the quilt shop, Xue Baochai said, "You want to talk too much. The second sister will get married every month, and it will be only a few thousand taels at the very moment. It can be copied."
"She doesn't care, we just care." Jia Cong acted as accustomed to it, and only changed into a pair of Yixing puppet shoes. The others shook their heads and did not change them. His beard was a little bit inched: "Didn't it mean that you can't wash even if you are filial to bathe, and you can't even even have a single beard and hair? That's it, don't change it."
The etiquette is such a rule, but generally you don’t have to be completely obedient. Look at the parents and grandson Jia Zhen and Jia Rong immediately took off their filial piety clothes at night and soaked their sister-in-law and aunt. Just like my brother Dong, I don’t know the beauty of a milk tea girl. If you change to a “democratic atmosphere” America, you will have a plump beauty on vacation.
"It's great if you do this." Xue Baochai agreed deeply, touched her husband's stubble, and felt distressed and funny: "Only by raising long beards, you can have official appearance, authority, and masculinity."
Jia Cong groped with his wife's soft shoulders and soft back, touched her forehead and face, squeezed her breasts, and said with a smile: "What should I do if I can't stand it? The green seeds cannot be moisturized by rain and dew, and will wither."
Xue Baochai pushed away with a hand, her round and pretty face was shiny and flawless, and the faint fragrance was so strong that she was a linen around her waist, which made the curves faint, and her bow shoes were twelve steps, with apricot eyes cherry: "My husband, as long as you get through it, no matter when, where, or whatever kind of tricks will be done, Sister Bao will listen to you."
"Really?" Jia Cong was surprised and wished he could rectify the law on the spot. Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times in and out, but Xue Baochai had already run away. Jia Cong became more and more disgusted with the Dingyou system: "Damn it! Every time someone is angry, he just can't let it go!"
I saw someone when I left the side hall. A little girl was wearing a melon-skin hat, leather boots, a small body of soap clothes, and a jade-faced young man. Jia Cong said, "Sister Yun is here, aren't you afraid of the three rooms?"
In the old days, Ling Real Estate Ward was taboo for wealthy families. Shi Xiangyun felt dizzy and said strangely: "What is the third room? I can't stay at home. What's even more strange is that my aunt also called her to come here often. It's really strange."
"It's nothing to come here often. Relatives don't walk around, and they're afraid of becoming enemies." Jia Cong made a distorted topic and had to go all the way into the garden. Fortunately, there were Jia Qiang, Jia Yun and others who were waiting for him through the middle road, and the dumb king Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian were also here.
During this period, the eunuch Liu Kang of the palace sent him a private message to him. The two of them had ambiguous relationships and secretly went to Chen Cang. Jia Cong cages into his sleeves, his face remained unchanged. He walked through the wide road between north and south, entered the courtyard gate and went to the southwest to place a mat. At that time, in midsummer, flowers were in full bloom, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and butterflies danced and bees gathered.
The important people of the tribe, men and women are here. Jia Cong is pleasing to the eye, and is open and pleasant to the heart. He is beautiful in the Jinlou. Looking south at Zilingzhou, ducks, geese, mandarin ducks and ducks play, and the flowers on the lying are lined with bamboo rafts. It seems that you can hear the fresh lotus roots from a distance. In the northeast, there is a green willow embankment, a green dike, and a willow leaf turret: "The Grand View Garden is really unique, and it's good to find an opportunity to be under the moon."
Only the Xue family and Jia Mu Jia Zheng also attended the event. Siqi, lotus embroidered oranges and other guests showed their glory, and they could not get meat, and showed their power to instruct the kitchen to make all kinds of pastries and eat flowers and fruits. Jia Cong first talked with men at the outdoor table, and then talked about book engraving with his sisters.
The banquet was filled with the entire building, and Xiren stood beside Mrs. Wang, ready to be heard by her ears at any time: "The eldest lady looks very arrogant. The wife takes care of her body, so don't be angry."
