3.12 The Jia family itself is not clean
The author actually left a lot of benefits in the chapters, but they were all harmonized automatically.
"I have met Mr. Zhou. Now that the end of the year is here, I have arranged to buy some goods. They are not worth much. It is already the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. I just hope that I can save Mr. Zhou some time, so I will live up to my expectations. A little bit of filial piety." In the living room of the main room of the east cross courtyard, Zhou Yang was sitting on the main seat, looking with a strange expression at Zhang Dehui, who was kneeling down to greet Zhang Dehui humbly.

"Manager Zhang is so polite. I didn't expect that as soon as the arrangements were made in the capital, my second uncle sent you to take care of me, but you didn't take care of me at all." Zhou Yang smiled and waved his hand to signal him to get up, and pointed at the guest. He sat down and said, "Sit down and talk. I'm really surprised that you came here this time. Where is Zhang Lu?"

"The little dog now follows Master Tiao, and even runs around on weekdays. Although it has become dark and thin, it has grown a lot. I haven't thanked Master Zhou for the recommendation." Hearing this, he just sat on half of the chair. Zhang Dehui stood up again and bowed, "Looking at my memory, this is the list of these new year's goods. Please take a look at it, Mr. Zhou!"

"Manager Zhang is very interested!" Zhou Yang smiled and took a gift list, but saw that the goods listed above were quite complicated. Basically, everything was available for food, drink and entertainment. The meat alone included venison, mutton, pork, There is a lot of beef, even roe deer, rabbits, various game meats, and even tiger meat and tiger bones, not to mention all kinds of stuff that you have never seen before, such as the "Bijing rice" mentioned repeatedly in the original work, this time I will give it away A total of two hundred kilograms.

"As long as Mr. Zhou doesn't mind it, I'll be relieved." Zhang Dehui said with a smile, "If there's anything missing, please don't be polite. I'll get it as soon as possible to make sure it's not missed." Mr. Zhou celebrates the New Year.”

"That's all. I heard that this Bijaponica rice is not very common. Two hundred kilograms is indeed a lot. I just don't know, can you still get it?" Zhou Yang nodded and asked, "Of course, you don't have to force it. After all, It’s just me and a girl at home, and we can’t eat [-] pounds for a year, but that’s about it.”

"It's true that this Bijaponica rice is precious, but that's how expensive it is." Zhang Dehui immediately said, "To be honest with Mr. Zhou, this kind of rice is produced in Nanyang. I heard that it is only available in the southernmost region." It can be found on a big island, and it’s hard to say what else is available. The second master will get a lot every year, so I will send a message to the old slave and transport another two hundred kilograms for Master Zhou!"

"Not enough!" Zhou Yang said in Zhang Dehui's surprised eyes, "Send another six hundred catties over here, don't worry, I won't let you work hard for nothing, just tell the second uncle directly, this is what I want, and it happens to be given to the Princess Mansion and Qi Guogong." Each family in the government has two hundred kilograms, and I have another use for the other two hundred kilograms."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will never make a mistake!" Zhang Dehui naturally knew the priorities clearly and saluted on the spot to confirm his decision.

"Okay, seeing how hard you are working here, I won't keep you here anymore. If there is anything that can't be solved, report it in time. I dare not say anything else. The water in the capital city is too deep. I can only say that we should try our best to solve it!" Zhou Yang smiled and gave the eviction order.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for taking care of me!" Zhang Dehui looked ecstatic, bowed and stepped back.

Looking at Zhang Dehui's respectfully away figure, and then thinking about how arrogant he was when he first met him, Zhou Yang played with the gift list and sighed softly. The serious hierarchy of superiority and inferiority in the feudal era was vividly reflected here. What abilities, skills, etc. Completely out of step with identity and status, "being arrogant in the first place and respectful in the back" has become a basic principle.

"You are thoughtful and know how to give gifts." Just as he was thinking about what to do, Dongfang Bing's teasing voice came from behind him, "But I don't know how you are prepared to send two hundred kilograms of Bijaponica rice to the princess all at once. Explanation? Let me remind you that this thing is often given to each house as a reward from His Majesty at the end of the year. Each time it is only a few dozen kilograms at most. Your two hundred kilograms should be the slave who brought all the stocks in the capital just now. .”

"Huh?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment. In his impression, shouldn't grain be calculated in tons? "Why, doesn't the Zhou Dynasty claim to be rich in products? Besides, this Bijaponica rice is just a specialty of Nanyang. There are many goods in the south of the Yangtze River that are taken away by maritime merchants. If you let them transport two ships here at will, your Majesty doesn't have to be so embarrassed, right?"

"Don't you know?" Dongfang Bing had a strange expression and looked at him deeply for a few times. He didn't speak until he felt a little uncomfortable, "The sea was forbidden in the Zhou Dynasty. Although it did not meet the rule of 'no sails can enter the sea', it can If they were conducting sea trade privately, at least the charge of 'intentional evil' would be fine.

By the way, your Miss Xue's family has been doing this for generations. The Xue family is an imperial merchant family and has the permission of the court to conduct maritime trade. However, most of the other families come here secretly and expect them to transport this. It’s really too much to grow products that take up space, are low-profit and are very conspicuous!”

"." Zhou Yang looked at Dongfang Bing speechlessly for a long time, because he was completely unable to complain.

"Also, your grandma in Rongguo Mansion can't eat this on weekdays, because in the entire Rongguo Mansion, there is only one Mrs. Rongguo who can eat bijing rice. The share of the bounty she can get every year is at most It’s only thirty or fifty kilograms, and others are trying to take advantage of it, and this should not include the two orphans and widowed mothers." Dongfang Bing said with a mocking look on his face.

"So?" Zhou Yang held her in his arms fiercely, slapped her butt and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. If you dare to be weird, please be careful. I will serve you with my family's laws. Do you understand me?"

"I know what you mean. You must be planning to give some to her, right?" Dongfang Bing was ashamed and angry. He struggled a few times but failed to break free. He had no choice but to let the bullying go. "I advise you to give up this idea. If it is true, If you want to give it away, just prepare twenty or thirty kilograms and send it to the Li family's old house, and it's best not to spread the news. The Xue family probably didn't get too much. You just said six hundred kilograms, which means you have a son-in-law of the Xue family. Otherwise, it would be nice to change your identity and avoid being beaten with sticks; whether you want to give it away to the princess or the Duke of Qi, you will end up with only thirty or fifty kilograms. After all, the Xue family's affairs are not Secrets, you can get some which is normal, but not too much.”

"Thank you!" Although he was ridiculed a lot, Zhou Yang still knew that this was the girl trying to persuade him to keep a low profile. "Also, the matter between the palace judge and I was really an accident at the beginning, and it was only later that we talked about it and recognized each other. "

"When you talk about having a heart-to-heart relationship, you mean what happens after you press the person on the kang and fuck her, right?" Dongfang Bing interrupted him directly, and then continued to mock him with an embarrassed expression on his face, "You also took advantage of their little girl. Asking about the identity, otherwise what happened that time would probably be just a beautiful accident at most.

I never expected that the mighty Duke Xie Yuan of the Zhou Dynasty actually relied on a widow in the beginning of his martial arts competition. He also abused his body, took his money, and finally stole his connections. Fortunately, he was still a benevolent figure. Reported, I didn’t forget to take care of you after getting rich, you”

"Dongfang Bing!" Zhou Yang had no choice but to raise his palm and give her another spanking, which made her cry. "What on earth do you want to say? Say it now. You finally got Xiu Mu today. It shouldn't be." Did you come here to mock me?"

"Zi Yang, the status of Sister Li's sister is a bit special after all." Dongfang Bing saw that Zhou Yang was really anxious, so he said helplessly, "Ning Rong's Second Mansion was the residence of the founding duke of the Zhou Dynasty. Although it has fallen now, as long as it comes out again, It is only a matter of time before a person comes to the forefront and comes back. If even the slightest bit about your affairs comes out, it will be a huge scandal. There are so many women in the world, why should you."

"The Jia family can't get up." Zhou Yang shook his head and interrupted her directly, because the ending of "The white land is so clean" in the original work has been doomed from now on, "I owe them to take care of them. Debt, as you just said, I was able to get up in the first place thanks to her help, which even included preparations for settling in and starting martial arts.

If I don’t repay such a huge favor, am I still a human being?What's more, you don't know what's going on in the Rongguo Mansion. Regardless of the female relatives in their family, as long as there is a man who can help him up, will he be kicked out directly by the eldest prince?Look at the one who was born with a jade in his mouth. Everyone in the capital knows that he dares to make a fuss about such things. His death is all due to the emperor's grace.

As for Ningguo Mansion, if Jia Jing really gives up his position, how long do you think it can last?Besides, if anyone in the Jia family can go out, will they be given to the prince?If they are allowed to delay like this, I am afraid that Lang Geer will be crippled sooner or later. I help the palace judge take care of it, and I am actually accepting her request. "

"It's up to you!" Dongfang Bing broke free helplessly, but let her hold him again, "Anyway, the Jia Mansion itself is not clean, not to mention the first-class general of the Rongguo Mansion, even Jia Jing of the Ningguo Mansion. Humph, his daughter who was raised in Rongguo Mansion."

"Have you guessed it?" Zhou Yang asked, holding back a smile.

"Hmph, you men -" Dongfang Bing knocked over a boatload of people with a stick, "No wonder the princess would rather live alone in the house and didn't pay attention to that."

"Okay, just think about our own family, you don't care about so much!" Zhou Yang quickly moved the topic away and let her continue mumbling, maybe the "Female Iron Fist" was born in advance, "This Zhang Dehui sent Take a look at the list, tell me what you need, and I'll have it delivered to you."

"No need, I'm the only one in the house. Why do you need something? Just prepare an extra pair of chopsticks then. I'll come over when I'm free." Dongfang Bing sighed, took out a post and threw it in his hand, " The main thing is this, just go there according to the time, don't miss the time and make her impatient."

"Is there any more?" Looking at the beautiful font on the post, the appointment at Wanfulou, and the last signature of "famous but not", Zhou Yang had already guessed the owner, "My Lord Qianhu, you shouldn't just send a post. ——Hey, what are you doing?”

"Hmph, aren't you quite arrogant and like me?" Dongfang Bing grabbed his arm and pulled him to the bedroom, "Anyway, I can't tell when we'll see you next time. Who knows how long it will take?"

"You didn't say you couldn't do it during the day."

"I'm saying you can't, not that I can't either!"
