From the red building to penetrate the heavens

However, starting from today, they no longer dare to have such thoughts.

For a moment, the old patriarch's earnest instructions before going to Beijing hit his mind again.

Jia She sat at the top, silently watching the changes in their expressions, thoughtfully.

Three days later, Zhan Baichuan and Zhan Yueping returned to their hometown in Qingyang. One was responsible for taking the second and third bedrooms to Beijing, and the other was responsible for obeying the Miao family's move to Beijing for marriage.

Since Chuanyu County was quite far from the capital, Jia She asked Liang Chongzhi to borrow some guards and hired an escort to accompany him.

There was no way, Jia She had just risen at this time and had not yet had time to develop his power. In addition, this generation Jia She was following a literary path, taking a tricky path such as offering potatoes, so the mansion was not able to do anything like Rongguo Mansion. Generally, there are trained veterans as government soldiers.

Fortunately, there was no need to worry about the debt. It had been bothering Liang Chongzhi for a long time anyway, so it didn't matter if he owed more favor debts. The worst he could do was to return his children to him in the future.

The night before Zhan Baichuan and Zhan Yueping left, Jia She had the rare opportunity of being interrogated and scolded by the four elders of the Zhan family. After listening for a long time, Jia She finally understood what they were doing.

"Grandma, father and mother, it's not that I don't miss Master and I don't want to honor Master, but I don't know where he is now. He travels all over the world. Since the drought in my hometown three years ago, I have never seen him again. I’ve never seen him again, and I haven’t received a letter from him, where do you want me to find him?” Jia She wailed.

Needless to say, Jia She really forgot about this master who was made up of nothing. If Lao Zhantou and the others didn't mention it, this master would probably disappear from Jia She's life.

Seeing the suspicious looks on the faces of Lao Zhan and the other four people, Jia She thought for a while and said, "If you don't believe me, you should believe in He Hua. You can ask her and ask my uncle if he has written to her."

Seeing Jia She's vow, Lao Zhan and the other four hesitantly believed Jia She's words. Jia She breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went to Ye Hehua himself to tell the news and make excuses.

After Zhan Baichuan and Zhan Yueping left, Jia She didn't have any leisure time. He was very busy every day.

Prices in the capital city are high, and just buying vegetables and meat to eat is not enough. So Jia She thought about buying a village in the suburbs of Beijing and providing rice, noodles, fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks and geese for his family. Arrangement.

Another thing is that although the emperor rewarded a lot of money and treasures, except for the ready-made gold and silver ingots, the other objects were all gifts from the emperor and could not be sold. Therefore, the money borrowed from Ye Hehua could be used for stock participation. The dividends are deducted and do not need to be paid back, but this also shows that Anguo Duke's government has no source of income. The cash in hand plus what was left before does not even amount to 4000 taels.

Emperor Zhaoshun did not reward Jia She with an official position, which meant that Jia She had to continue studying and taking scientific examinations.

However, can studying in a small place like Linhui County be the same thing as studying in the capital?

Jia She has such a status, not to mention other expenses, just the New Year celebrations and funerals can consume all the money in a year or two.

Because he really didn't have much money, Jia She could only put aside the purchase of Zhuangzi for the time being and start making money.

Jia She has not yet established a foothold in the capital and does not dare to do important things such as cement and glass. Ye Hehua is already doing imports such as food and drink, and Jia She also has shares, so he does not plan to get involved anymore. Wanting to go, Jia She finally set his sights on soap soap and fragrant ink red mud.Nowadays, Jia She belongs to the category of people who have a good reputation, a sacred heart and a backing. It is very simple to do something. Within a month, the soap shop opened and became popular in the capital, bringing a lot of benefits to Jia She. He benefited less, but within two months, Jia She had saved up enough money to buy Zhuangzi.

The trivial matters were put aside for the time being, and Jia She began to devote himself to the great cause of studying. Although Jia She did not plan to take the provincial examination in August this year, in order to compete for an official position, Jia She was still prepared to participate in the provincial examination next year and the palace examination the year after that. .To this end, we must start working hard from now on.

But even if he has to take the provincial examination next year, Jia She doesn't want to go back to his hometown in Linhui County, Sichuan Yu County to take the test. He thinks that the potato growth period only lasts four months, and the results will definitely come out before he gets married in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At that time, the emperor will be very happy and will most likely come to see him. Then he will complain to the emperor and ask if he can be given the qualifications to be considered in the capital.

While Jia She was busy studying for the imperial examination and running a small business, time flew by.

In mid-June, Ye Hehua and Liang Chongzhi got married; in early July, the second and third bedrooms of the Zhan family came to Beijing together with the Miao family.

Jia She gave two adjacent sets of three-entry courtyards in Dongcheng to Zhan Dashan and Zhan Dazhu, letting them choose which one they wanted. Jia She did not interfere.

Concerned that they had no money, Jia She asked Fan Ningbao, who was promoted to the chief manager of the Duke's Mansion, to buy them all the manpower and property.

Of course, whether it is manpower or property, the specifications cannot be compared with Jia She's original ones.Each family is provided with one janitor and sweeper, two who cook and wash, one who sews clothes, and one who runs errands. Clothes, bedding, cooking utensils and other things are also under control. In short, the house does not exceed 5000 taels. that is.

Jia She understood the principle of raising rice and fighting for rice, so after settling them down, he asked Lao Zhan to come forward and made an agreement with them. In addition to providing Zhan Manliang with four children to study, they would need to pay for other expenses themselves. Figure out a solution individually.

After all, Jia She gave them the pastry shop in Linhui County. They had too much money to say, but they still had a thousand taels. For ordinary people, it was just eating and drinking, not extravagant and extravagant. Enough for them to survive the rest of their lives.

Besides, they don’t need to support them for so many years. When the four little ones grow up, they will stand up for themselves.

Compared with the Lao Zhan family, the Miao family made Jia She worry a lot less.

The house that Jia She gave to the daughter of the Miao family is also on the east side. It is separated by two alleys from the second and third bedrooms of the Zhan family. It is also a courtyard with three entrances. It is similar in size and layout, and the manpower and property are equally placed. The main focus is to be impartial.

However, because the Miao family is considered a local snake in Linhui County, and Chuanyu County is located in a prosperous area in the south of the Yangtze River, the Miao family has no shortage of money. After settling down with basic manpower and property, the remaining things such as eating, drinking and traveling There is no need for Jia She to worry at all, the Miao family can make arrangements for themselves.

Since Jia She now holds the hereditary title of Duke and his social status is much higher than that of the Miao family, the number of people from the Miao family attending the wedding this time is far more than Jia She imagined. In addition to Miao's father and Miao's mother, even those who have already The old man and his wife who had been taking care of him for many years also came to Beijing. In addition, there were also the grandson of the head of the Miao family and members of the Yiying clan. The originally spacious Sanjin courtyard was too crowded to accommodate anyone.

It can be seen from this that the Miao family now attaches great importance to the marriage between Jia She and the Miao daughter. Miao's father Miao Anlan even called Jia She over and told Jia She overtly and secretly that the Miao daughter's dowry would be tripled. It is the same as the dowry given to the daughter-in-law of the head of the Miao family.

In this regard, Jia She readily accepted it after the accident.
