The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 379 Loyalty and Filial Piety
After Jiao Shun delivered the message for Madam Wang, he went home to catch up on sleep. He slept with his eyes closed until the evening, but how could he know that he was inexplicable and became the breaking point for the couple to break up again?

It was approaching Youshi [five o'clock in the afternoon], and Jiao Shun woke up in a daze. Seeing that there was no one in the room, he put on his shoes and got off the ground. While stretching, he raised his voice and said, "Where are you? What time is it?"

It wasn't the maids who didn't want to pick up the curtain to come in, but the playful Jia Rong.

"Uncle is awake."

Jia Rong cupped her fists loosely with her fan in her hands and turned her gaze to the vital point between Jiao Shun's legs. In the corner of the wall, I was still depressed for a while.

Seeing that it was Jia Rong who came in, Jiao Shun couldn't help wondering, "Why are you here?"

Immediately, he remembered something and added a sentence: "Could it be for the maritime trade business?"

"Sure enough, you can't hide anything from uncle."

Jia Rong gave a thumbs up and was about to explain in detail when Hongyu and Xiangling, who were on duty outside, came in and helped Jiao Shun get dressed and washed.

Seeing that the two maidservants were both pretty and lovely, Jia Rong was about to steal eyes and glances, but Jiao Shun suddenly waved his sleeves and said, "You go and sit outside for a while, and we can talk after I wash my face and wake up." .”

This is obviously to guard against him.

Tch~
What can I do if I look twice?

Aren't all the women in our house free to do whatever you want?
As Jia Rong walked out, she slandered Jiao Shun because of his bad background, full of pettiness, and not open-minded at all!
He drank half a cup of tea in a dull mood outside, only to see Jiao Shun come out from the room, so he hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and said straight to the point: "Don't dare to hide the truth from uncle, our mansion plans to take 3 taels of silver out to test the water first— ——I have already discussed with my second aunt, and in a few days we will go south with Baolinghou to buy, and then borrow the name of the Wang family to find a Guangdong and Guangxi merchant to rent a boat."

If the father and son had poured tens of thousands of dollars into the business of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, they would not even blink their eyes. Now they are going to do serious business but they are hesitant. I took out 3 taels.

Speaking of...

How could Wang Xifeng, who picks flesh from mosquitoes' legs, easily agree to let someone give her a ride?
Don't think it's just a name, the "Southeast King" is now a golden signboard in Guangdong and Guangxi—if it wasn't for Wang Ziteng's momentum, at the time when the court was promoting maritime trade, he wanted Guangdong and Guangxi maritime merchants to take the ship Renting it to outsiders is something that has no door!
Hearing Jiao Shun's doubts, Jia Rong raised Erlang's legs triumphantly, and pretended to brush off the corners of her clothes, saying, "Second Aunt lacks people to take care of the place! The old and the young in this house, only Second Uncle Lian knows a little bit about official careers." The economy, but it was borrowed by the surnamed Sun to the Jinmen fox to pretend to be a tiger—this tens of thousands of taels of silver, can't be handed over to the slaves to be the masters?"

"To tell you the truth, Uncle, our master is going to send Brother Qiang and me on a trip. He has been to the south when he was shopping for a small opera actor, so he is familiar with it."

Think about it too.

From top to bottom, there are not many good men in Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Amnesty is completely free from all kinds of poisons, Jia Zhengwo stays at home and says he can't get sick, Jia Baoyu...

Further down, Jia Huan and Jia Cong, two and a half older children, can't be counted on.

Jia Lan is a self-motivated person, but after all, she is still young, and she has been studying hard in the academy, and she is not at home all year round.

After all the calculations, Jia Lian, a half-baked guy, has become a superstar!

But it happened that he was 'borrowed' to Jinmen by Sun Shaozu two days ago. I'm afraid he might not be able to get away for a month or two. Couldn't Wang Xifeng have to borrow someone from Ningguo Mansion to take over the place?

And this is the reason why Jiao Shunfu was often pulled to busy himself as soon as he rose to prominence.

After all, he was born in the Rongguo Mansion, so he was considered half of himself, but now that Mrs. Wang's mediator has engaged him with the historian, he is no longer an outsider.

As for Aunt Xue asking Jiao Shun to take care of her when she didn't see her, it was from Mrs. Xu's side.

It has been mentioned more than once in the previous article that Mrs. Xu was originally Aunt Xue's personal maid. The two have been together since childhood, and their relationship is the same as "Yinger is to Baochai, Zijuan is to Daiyu".

Now that there is no difference between master and servant, and Jiao Shun's kindness in rescuing Xue Pan, the two get along more and more like sisters.

As for regretting the marriage before...

The Xue family didn't even have time to show their attitude at that time. Everything was done by Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu. Naturally, there was no barrier between the Xue family and the Jiao family.

The book is back to normal.

Jiao Shun nodded slightly after hearing Jia Rong's words, and then smiled again: "Since everything is arranged properly, you can just make your own money, why come to me again?"

"Uncle was joking."

Jia Rong hurriedly corrected her figure, cupped her hands with an apologetic smile, and said, "I heard that uncle took the lead and has already raised a batch of silk porcelain from the official workshop in the south. Uncle will help dispatch another batch, and this business will be profitable."

In fact, Jiao Shun had guessed Jia Rong's intention long ago, but recently the father and son had obviously 'jumped' a little bit, he wanted to use this to beat and beat, and he didn't intend to let Jia Rong achieve his goal easily.

So he pretended to be troubled, frowned and said, "The batch of goods was approved by the imperial court in the name of 'encouraging ocean trade'. I just pushed the boat along the way to get some quotas for the second grandma, and now most of them are gone." I've been robbed, where do you want me to go for a change?"

In the name of export subsidies, the silk porcelain that Jiao Shun helped Wang Xifeng ordered was already more than [-]% cheaper than the market price. In addition, now that the news of Haimao has spread, various luxury merchants are hoarding goods, causing the market price Rising successively, the difference between inside and outside is as much as [-] to [-]%.

And this is exactly where he dared to sign the contract and had confidence in Wang Xifeng's Xu Yizhongli.

"uncle!"

Seeing Jiao Shun's intention to evade, Jia Rong got up in a panic, and resorted to the tried and tested trump card: "There is also Brother Xiong, you don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, at least..."

You Shi gave birth to a child named Xiong [XIONG].

Jiao Shun interrupted Jia Rong's begging by raising his hand, and said angrily, "Brother Xiong is the one to talk about everything. How many catties and taels of silver can he use for a baby who is just a baby? The wood spices Isn't what he earned enough for him?"

"Uncle, this..."

"okay."

Interrupting Jia Rong again, Jiao Shun said impatiently: "Wait for me to try it in a few days, if it works, it will be the best, if it really doesn't work..."

"Uncle, how can it be impossible?"

This time it was Jia Rong's turn to stop Jiao Shun's words, and said with a smile on his face, "Success must come soon, success will come soon!"

But Jiao Shun refused to agree to his words, instead he came directly to see off the guests with tea.

Seeing this, Jia Rong had no choice but to return home disconcerted.

When he returned to the Ningguo Mansion, he reported the matter to Lao Tzu Jia Zhen, but Jia Zhen didn't see much annoyance, instead she stroked her beard and laughed, "It's not difficult if you ask me, we can't do it." Power, there is that which makes the power up."

Jia Rong was a little hesitant when she heard the words: "The master is talking about the wife? But how can the wife go against his mind and help us..."

"Ignorant fool!"

Jia Zhen cursed, and proudly said: "This woman has been looking forward to such a bastard for more than ten years. Naturally, she loves it like a treasure. Although she is unwilling to side with us, how can she not be for that bastard?" Plan? As long as we start from this, she will naturally speak for us!"

Saying that, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter, I'll go and discuss it with her—you should make preparations early when you go back, and if you delay the family's plan to make money, be careful!"

Jia Rong backed out obediently, and complained all the way home: That bastard is still loved and protected by someone, why is it that grandma doesn't love uncle or uncle because he is a son from the Duke's family?

However, thinking of going south this time with a lot of money and water, and being able to see the romantic women in the water village, his mood immediately improved a lot.

When I got home, I ordered people to pack my bags quickly, and at the same time, I asked the stove to bring food and wine, and I poured myself a drink happily, but I didn't notice that Mrs. Xu was sitting on the sidelines, hesitant to speak.

Xu has been married for more than a year, so she naturally knows that her husband is unreliable.

But being unreliable is better than nothing!

Once Jia Rong is away for a long time, leaving her alone at home, who can guarantee that the father-in-law, who has a long history of criminal convictions, will be able to restrain himself?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu finally plucked up the courage, and said timidly, "Master, can I, can I go to the south with you?"

Jia Rong was taken aback when she heard the words, and immediately reprimanded impatiently: "My lord is going to do serious things, how can there be any reason to drag the family around? Besides, the wife has to take care of the children, how can this mansion leave you now?"

Xu lowered her head and neck in fright, clasped her fingers tightly and murmured: "But, but I haven't taken care of any housework."

"I won't learn!"

Jia Rong threw down the four words stiffly, then bowed her head and ate the food and wine again.

He and Jia Zhen are in the same line, and they have always been greedy for novelty and excitement. At first, because Jiao Shun saved Xu's chastity, he was complacent and regarded Xu's as a treasure, but after a long time, he gradually got bored, and even Unhappy that Jiao Shun occupied You's family, and ruined his good plan of exchanging a small one for a big one.

But Jia Rong is not in the mood to think about these things now, his mind is full of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and how much oil and water he can probably get when he goes south to buy this time.

If it was just Wang Xifeng and his family's money, he would at most withhold a small amount of money based on the nature of these two people wanting money.

But historians are now using 'Maritime Silk Road' as a concept stock to speculate and raise money. It is estimated that it will not be a problem to raise 10,000+ taels.

You can even use the name of Shi Nai to deceive some unconnected retail investors...

After calculating inside and out, in the end, whoever earns more, the mansion or himself, I'm afraid it's still unknown-not to mention that there are big risks in maritime trade, and this kind of exploitation is worthless!
With such a great money scene to catch, Xu Shi, who was already tired of being teased by him, naturally had no attraction at all, and he didn't even bother to look at it again.

hmm~
It is said that Yangzhou's skinny horse is famous all over the world, so I must play for fun when I go back to the south.

Then there are the foreign women in Guangdong and Guangxi who heard that there are original goods, unlike the ones in the capital that have been filtered several times, like sugarcane chewed by others, there is still some taste at first taste, but it tastes like wax when you taste it carefully.

The more Jia Rong thought about it, the more complacent she became, but Xu's side was devastated.

She was originally a businesswoman, but because her parents wanted to cling to the powerful, she was married to Ningguo Mansion as Jia Rong's sequel.

After passing through the door, she was trembling and fearful, afraid that she would make a mistake and make people laugh, but she didn't think that the Ningguo Mansion itself was the biggest joke!

The father-in-law picked up ashes and forced his daughter-in-law to death, and the mother-in-law stole people and blatantly gave birth to wild seeds, and raised a younger uncle to be both a nephew and a wife and concubine.

The husband is even more amazing!
It was obviously thanks to Uncle Jiao that he was not picked up for the second time. Who would have thought that after the intimacy of the newlyweds and the loss of the dowry [most of which fell into the hands of Jia Zhen], Instead of being grateful to Uncle Jiao, he blamed him for ruining his "good deed".

Now my husband is looking forward to going to the south of the Yangtze River wholeheartedly, but he has left himself in this dragon pool and tiger den to fend for himself...

Mrs. Xu bit her lower lip in misery, and finally came up with an idea after thinking about it, so she hurriedly begged: "If the master is willing to take the slave family with him, the slave family will go home and discuss with parents, and also pool a sum of money to do this sea trade. How does the business look, sir?"

It's not enough to move with emotion, so she naturally wanted to lure him for profit.

"This……"

Needless to say, Jia Rong really does like this. It will take a long time for him to fill his own pocket, especially before Shi Nai goes to sea, he must first keep a low profile.

In this way, wouldn't it be a hard time for two months?
But if it's the old man's money, then there's nothing to worry about, it can just be used to have a good time first, and at worst, when the retail investors are cheated later, it's enough to make up for the father-in-law.

If he loses, it will belong to the Yue family. If he wins, he will take away the big head and leave the Yue family with three melons and two dates. Does he dare to care about it if he is a small family?

The more Jia Rong thought about it, the more she felt that this matter could be done. She just wanted to bring Xu Shi to Jiangnan, but she was afraid that she would not be able to pass Jia Zhen's test. If you cared so much, how could you miss this great opportunity to relapse?

However, after hesitating again and again, he finally chose the former between Yin Zi and fatherly kindness and filial piety, and said decisively: "Then you go back to your mother's house to settle the matter, and then I will ask my wife for instructions. If my wife doesn't need your help at home, we Let's go south together!"

Although Jia Zhen still has the final say in this family now, Youshi can also be the master of many things, especially now that Jiao Shun is still pointing to the goods, Jia Zhen is even more difficult to offend her.

As long as I come up with Jiao Shun's original promise to talk about the matter, Youshi should be able to agree with it.

Mrs. Xu was overjoyed when she heard the words, and quickly gave a deep salute: "Thank you, Master Chengquan, I will go back to discuss with my family early tomorrow morning, and I promise not to delay the schedule of going south!"

She thought she was finally doomed, so she couldn't wait to get things finalized.

But I don't want Jia Rong to see her look so coaxing, turn her head and start thinking again, if she can fool the money in advance, there is no need to do multiple choice questions, take the money and then leave Xu's family and walk away , wouldn't it be both loyalty and filial piety?
