Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 219 Hubu Goes to Rongguo Mansion
such a busy day,
Ping'er was wearing an emerald green skirt and jacket, and she was also standing there slim and graceful.

Looking at the high-spirited second grandmother there, Ping'er felt a little relieved in her heart, because the second grandmother has suffered a lot these years.

"Grandma is still great. Ping'er just got your credit. Also, Second Mistress, we don't have much money. You have to give those people money to work first. Such an expense is not small, and it is not too expensive." I know what's going on at the Hou Mansion."

When Wang Xifeng heard Ping'er complaining beside her, she stared and scolded;
"Keep your voice down, you can talk about it here, and don't look at the date."

Ping'er felt aggrieved there, and replied unconvinced;
"It can't be said, it's not all about the majesty of the second grandma, the money was sprinkled without even a splash."

"Hehe, you little hoof still dare to talk back, so don't mention trivial matters. The Houfu Shang University has already given me the money of the employer, which is 3000 taels of silver. The chamber of commerce is currently buying goods. It is expected Soon, I also took out 3 taels of silver from my family, and asked my aunt to borrow 2 taels of silver to put together a stock, how much profit do you think this trip will make?"

Wang Xifeng didn't hide it from Ping'er, seeing that everyone around her was busy, she also said in a low voice cautiously.

"How much can grandma have? 5000 taels of silver?"

How did Ping'er know about the violence of running a business? Usually, 1000 taels are kept tightly hidden, and no more will be seen.

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and said disdainfully;
"Send the beggars, after deducting the tax, half of the capital, at least a net profit of more than ten thousand taels. If you don't pay taxes, it will be almost 3 taels of profit. This is still sold outside the customs. If you go to the grassland, the profit is greater than the cost. Gold."

"what."

Ping'er let out a cry, and immediately covered his mouth in fright.

Wang Xifeng was also taken aback, and cursed angrily;
"Damn girl, what is the ghost's name, I'm not afraid that others will hear it."

Ping'er calmed down and said in a low voice;
"Grandma, don't be angry, I know I was wrong, I didn't expect so much, it's a money grab."

"Who said no?"

Wang Xifeng was the same at first hearing, she didn't believe Aunt Wang's words at all, but she also knew that the mother of the dignified Marquis Mansion would not be able to lie to herself, so she could only say that the financial resources of Luoyun Marquis Mansion were unfathomable.

Ningguo Mansion,
Jia Zhen had rested for a few days, and her body had recovered. Naturally, she knew that the Rongguo Mansion was going to have a big banquet for the clansmen today, and she also wanted to go to the hustle and bustle and relax.

Let Jia Rong go over and have a look first.

Jia Rong was also reluctant, and walked from the gate of East Road to Qianjie, then directly crossed Ningrong Street, and came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion. Looking inside, many children of Jia's family had already arrived one after another.

Jia Baoyu also came out to greet a group of big and small brothers, Jia Lian was not there and he didn't know where to go, but the younger Jia Lan, Jia Huan and Jia Zong also arrived first.

Other than that,

The elders of the other branches of the Jia family, Jia Dairu, Jia Daixiu and others also came to the mansion early. They came to the middle courtyard and asked people to make chairs to sit on. water for tea.

As for Jia Xiao and others of Jia She's generation, they stood solemnly beside them.

With Jia Guang and Jia Qiong of his father Jia Zhen's generation, Jia Qiong even helped out, and Jia Qiang, Jia Ling, Jia Yun, Jia Qin and others of his own generation were still playing around there except for the young ones. Others are the helpers who should help, and those who give hands, few people play wantonly.

Many members of Jia's family can understand.

Jia Rong also walked up to him, saluted Jia Baoyu and said;

"I met Uncle Bao."

Jia Baoyu couldn't help being taken aback, it's Brother Rong from Dongfu, long time no see.

"It turns out that Brother Rong is here. I haven't seen you for a while. How is Brother Zhen doing now?"

Jia Baoyu is still more worried about Jia Zhen's recent situation, and hasn't seen Jia Zhen since Chunlou came back, so she doesn't know if she's all right.

Jia Rong also knew of Uncle Bao's kindness, so she hurriedly replied;
"Second Uncle Huibao, my father is already well and has been fine for a long time. Today, he said that he will come here to attend the clan banquet."

"That's good."

Then I ignored it, but went back to the room to review the book, these days are difficult.

Jia Rong thought that what she said was wrong, but Second Uncle Bao actually left. When she was in a daze, Jia Huan suddenly jumped out from the side and said;

"It's Brother Rong."

Jia Rong frowned and looked at Jia Huan, who was out of character, and she didn't like it, but her seniority was there, so she had to salute and shouted;

"I met Uncle Huan."

Jia Huan smiled;
"Didn't you see me? Brother Rong doesn't know? During this period of time, Baoyu has been beaten by the second master several times. I haven't seen Baoyu studying these days. Are you self-conscious?"

Hearing that Jia Huan was there to gloat over others' misfortunes, Jia Baoyu didn't deal with him.

As long as Jia Baoyu was too bad to be beaten, Jia Huan would be happy from the bottom of his heart, and this appearance made Jia Rong even more displeased, so he responded with a few casual words and stopped talking.

Jia Huan didn't care either, he didn't know where he got when he turned his head and blinked.

Jia Rong had no choice but to find a free place to sit down and rest.

Ouchi,

Ministry of Accounts.

Zhang Jinyu led the guards all the way forward, stopped at the gate of the palace, checked his waist card, and took Ning Bian in alone.

Just halfway through the walk, I met Mr. Yang, who was from the Imperial City Department, and he was also going to the household department in a sedan chair. It was really comfortable to watch the sedan chair swaying and swaying.

Zhang Jinyu was envious for a while, he was so good at enjoying and corrupting, did he want to make one, but when he thought of a man sitting in a sedan chair like a woman, it would be a shock, so he temporarily let go of his mind.

But the carriage behind suddenly opened the curtain, and Eunuch Yang sat inside and shouted;

"Luo Yunhou, you came so early, come up for a ride."

Zhang Jinyu also didn't understand, Eunuch Yang was sitting in the carriage behind, who was in the sedan chair,

"So it's Manager Yang, no, it's Yang Sishe, this Marquis congratulates Mr. Yang on his promotion every step of the way."

Not ambiguous,

He and Ning Bian got into the carriage directly, but there was no such smell as rumored, but a lot of spices.

Zhang Jinyu didn't have such a big opinion, it was better than walking, but Eunuch Yang felt relieved when he saw that Master Zhang was not pretentious. As expected, the rumors were true, and Marquis Luo Yun was very kind to the eunuch.

"Master Hou, this is going to the household department."

Zhang Jinyu also said with a bitter face;

"Who said it wasn't? I wanted to sleep a little longer, but I never thought that I would be delayed by this matter again. It's really looking for trouble."

Seeing Luo Yunhou complaining there, Yang Sishe was a little puzzled, isn't it the Hou Ye who organized the game,
"Master Hou, didn't you arrange the Jia family?"

Zhang Jinyu turned her head to look at Eunuch Yang sitting inside, and said angrily;

"What, I was looking for it, who said it, Benhou is full and looking for things about his Jia family every day, why don't you say that Jia Zhen has been looking for things about Benhou?"

Seeing that Zhang Jinyu was a little angry, Guanshi Yang also apologized;

"Master Hou, don't worry, it's all rumors, not credible."

After a few words, they arrived at the Hubu Pavilion, and the two got out of the car and walked into the hall.

Shen Zhongxin had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw the two of them salute;

"The next official, Shen Zhongxin, has met Lord Hou and Yang Sishe."

The two also returned the gift, Zhang Jinyu asked angrily;
"Shen Shilang, you really meddle in your own business. If you're celebrating Chinese New Year, you'll come to ask for money, and you won't be afraid of being beaten out."

"What Lord Hou said is true."

Steward Yang also had an unhappy expression on his face, and he didn't care about the time when he asked for money.

Shen Zhongxin explained with a wry smile;

"Lord Hou, Eunuch Yang, this matter is not because the subordinate officials insisted on going their own way to come to ask for money. It was Jia Lian, the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, who came to the subordinate officials in person, saying that it was a negotiation to return the money today, and all parties should witness it. Make an example."

"Brother Yang, do you believe it?"

Zhang Jinyu asked directly and casually. Zhang Jinyu didn't believe a word that the Jia family said, except of course the women in the house. Zhang Jinyu, who tasted like meat, thought of Li Wan.

When Eunuch Yang was suddenly called out by Zhang Jinyu, Brother Yang also felt warm in his heart, and he grinned in agreement;
"Believe in him, you can only coax Shen Shilang into his favor."

Seeing the cynicism between the two, Shen Zhongxin had no choice but to respond with a wry smile, and also mentally guessed, Brother Yang, when did the relationship between the two get so good, and what did Luo Yunhou mean.

Zhang Jinyu was not wrangling, and asked;

"Shen Shilang, what's the next arrangement? I'm at your disposal. When I came, I brought two hundred soldiers from the vanguard battalion."

Steward Yang also went on to say;

"The miscellaneous family also brought a hundred households to wait for dispatch."

Shen Zhongxin couldn't believe it, and he wasn't going to fight, so he tried to ask;

"My lords, you are not going to fight, so why not bring so many people to your door?"

Zhang Jinyu walked out of the hall directly, and said:
"If you go to the door today, you must be offended. If you don't bring more people, you may not be able to go back."

Eunuch Yang also walked out without saying a word, and the rest of Shen Zhongxin also felt that it was reasonable, and cursed Jia Lian secretly, and when he saw that the two had left, he shouted;
"Follow up with the team, bring your abacus, and check the accounts."

"It's an adult."

Yuanwailang from the household department and the chief accountant also left the mansion and got into the prepared carriage, while Shen Zhongxin sat on a sedan chair carried by the Secretary of the Imperial City.

Zhang Jinyu saw that it was originally prepared for Shen Shilang, good guy, civil servants will enjoy it as expected, and it is true that scholars and bureaucrats share the world.

Then the convoy walked out of the palace gate, joined Zhang Jinyu's vanguard battalion, and drove to Jiajiarong Guofu in Dongcheng together.

The mighty convoy is really attractive, and many spies with nothing to look at are busy again.

on the way,
Zhang Jinyu didn't get out of the carriage to ride the horse, and wanted to sit in the carriage for a while, but when he thought of arriving at Rongguo Mansion soon and not knowing what would happen, he didn't feel sleepy anymore.

Open the curtain, look behind,
Zhang Jinyu also stared wide-eyed, good guy, there are dozens of horse-drawn carriages driven by the household department, are they here to raid the house?

For a moment, he was taken aback by the ruthlessness of the civil servant.

Eunuch Yang was also puzzled when he saw his appearance, so he glanced out, his eyes were also wide open, incredulous.

It seemed that they knew what was going on. The three people in the car looked at each other and kept silent. I'm afraid something will happen today.

I don't know if Jia Lian agreed.
