My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 65
"hiss……"

Xie Youyuan couldn't help but take a breath.

Feng Ziying raised a finger, naturally it was not 100 taels or 1000 taels.

As the saying goes, living in Beijing is not easy. In any era, housing prices in Beijing will never be cheap.

But the whole 1 taels of silver still scared him.

Now, as the deputy commander of the Military and Horse Division, his annual salary is 80 taels.

For ordinary people, this kind of salary is enough to feed and clothe a family of six, and they can even hire one or two old ladies or maids to take care of them.

But this money is far from enough for those who are interested in buying real estate in Shenjing. For this point, you can refer to the housing prices in the capital in later generations.

Seeing Xie Youyuan's gasp, Jia Yu glanced at him and said angrily: "Who are you showing this expression to, if only you would visit the kiln sister less often and drink less flower wine.

As long as you save a few more years, you won't be able to buy a third-entry courtyard in Xicheng. Can't you buy a second-entry or first-entry courtyard in South City or North City? "

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Although Xie Youyuan was married and even had three children, he had a problem, that is, he liked to drink flower wine.

The last time he went to Erlong Mountain to suppress bandits, Xie Youyuan received a reward of 1000 taels of silver, but he only gave 200 taels to his wife, and the rest was spent on the brothel girls in Lichun Courtyard.

He was so angry that his wife had several big quarrels with him.

At this point, someone else joked: "Mr. Jia, you have also bought this house, but now you are missing a mistress. Do you want the brothers to help you find a match?"

"Damn it!"

Jia Yu smiled and scolded: "You kid, take care of your own wife first and then stop talking about my business. I'm not even eighteen yet."

Someone shouted: "Sir, eighteen is no longer young. When I was your age, I already had two children."

After someone started talking, the people around him were talking to each other, urging Jia Yu to marry a wife quickly.

At this moment, Jia Yu seemed to have returned to the scene when her parents and surrounding relatives urged her to get married every time she returned to her hometown for the New Year before time traveling.

Just when Jia Yu was a little tired of coping, a servant hurriedly came to report.

"Master, there is someone outside who claims to be the steward of Rongguo Mansion, asking for an audience."

"Ok?"

Although the servant's voice was not loud, it was enough for the people around to hear clearly.

The grievances between Jia Yu and Ning Rong were now widely spread among the noble circles in Shenjing, and of course they had heard about it.

In addition, Jia She and Jia Zhen made headlines a few days ago to impeach Jia Yu, which has already become a laughing stock in the circle of nobles.

I originally thought that the two families had never interacted with each other for a long time, but I never thought how long it had been before the Rongguo Mansion took the initiative to send someone to ask for a meeting?
For a moment, everyone's curiosity aroused.

In fact, not only the people around him, but also Jia Yu was curious and waved his hand.

"Bring him in, I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Rongguo Mansion?"

Soon, an honest-looking middle-aged man came in and bowed to Jia Yu who was sitting on the main seat.

"Lin Zhixiao, the steward of the inner court of Rongguo Mansion, has met with you, sir, and I wish you great success."

Jia Yu asked calmly: "Lin Zhixiao, I wonder if you came here on the orders of the old lady or Jia Zhen and Jia She?" In fact, this question was just Jia Yu pretending to be confused.

Despite Lin Zhixiao's silence, standing behind him was Jia Mu, who was also the steward of the inner courtyard. There were some things that even Lai Da wanted to do had to look at his face.

In the entire Rongguo Mansion, there was no one else except Jia Mu who could make him go there in person in the cold weather.

How could Lin Zhixiao not know that Jia Yu was actually scorning him by asking this question? In addition to being helpless, he could only bow and answer:
"This little man is here to apologize to Uncle Yu on the order of the old lady.

Last time, Uncle Zhen and Uncle She didn't know what was going on, so they impeached you.

The old lady didn't know about this. Afterwards, the old lady reprimanded the two of them and ordered them to think about their mistakes in the house.

And the old lady heard about your joy of moving today, and also heard that you still have no one to take care of you, so she specially sent a maid from his room to you. This is her body deed, please accept it, Uncle Yu! "

After saying that, Lin Zhixiao took out a contract from his arms and handed it to Jia Yu with both hands.

When Lin Zhixiao was speaking, everyone at the table was silent, and no one dared to interrupt.

Although they all knew about the grievances between Jia Yu and Ning Rong's second house, in the context of this era, they all subconsciously believed that this matter was Jia Yu's family matter, and it was not easy for outsiders like them to interfere.

Among the people present, only Feng Ziying had a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

After Jia Yu took the contract, she subconsciously opened it and took a look. She was stunned and could not recover for a while.

After seeing Jia Yu's expression, Lin Zhixiao thought that the other party was dissatisfied and quickly explained.

"Uncle Yu, this maid named Qingwen was trained by the old lady. She is particularly proficient in embroidery and her appearance is first-class. Otherwise, the old lady would not have sent her here to serve you.

If you don't believe it, I can ask her to come over and ask you to take a look. If you are still not satisfied, it's not too late for me to take her back. "

At this time, Jia Yu had come to her senses. After hearing this, she took a deep breath and said leisurely: "Of course I know...that's all, let her stay."

Lin Zhixiao was overjoyed. In his opinion, since Jia Yu accepted the maid sent by the old lady, it meant that Uncle Yu had promised to clear up the previous grudges, so that he could also pay homage to the old lady.

He quickly said: "Uncle Yu, such a villain has to leave."

After that, without waiting for Jia Yu to say anything, she turned around and left quickly, as if she was afraid that the couple would come back later in the evening.

Looking at Lin Zhixiao's hurried back, Jia Yu burst into laughter.

In fact, how could he refuse?
This is Qingwen, who is known as the first of the twelve beauties in Jinling.

In terms of beauty, she is also the best among the twelve hairpins. He couldn't bear to think about it before he refused.

The banquet lasted until the top of the willow trees above the moon, and the crowd waited until then to disperse.

While drinking, Jia Yu originally wanted to entrust Feng Ziying to find a few rough maids, cooks, servants and other servants for him, but Feng Ziying, who was already drunk, told him an address and asked him to find someone directly.

Looking at Feng Ziying who was already drunk and hazy, Jia Yu could only give up.

After sending away the last guest, Jia Yu also walked to her bedroom a little unsteadily.

But when he opened the door, he saw a slim figure busy packing something.

Hearing the sound of someone pushing the door, the figure was startled. After turning around, their eyes met...
