Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 738 Fortune (seeking a monthly ticket)

Although the visitor only said "Yes", and did not declare his family background, but in the capital, who else has such an arrogant "Ninth Master" besides the current prince Jiu Beizi?
Not to mention, Han Jiangshi had met Brother Nine before.

Han Jiangshi disguised himself as a man to see the bidding on February [-] last year.Brother Jiu was wearing the prince's costume and sitting in the VIP seat, Han Jiangshi had some impressions.

It's not that he intends to curry favor with the rich and powerful, but rather that he is somewhat curious about those nine elder brothers who are obsessed with businessmen, so he only looked up when he was mentioned by others.

Thinking in her heart, Han Jiangshi had already bowed her knees and made a blessing, saying: "Little lady has seen Lord Jiu."

It seems that Brother Nine is really not interested in talking on the street. He pointed behind him and said, "Today I came here on a special trip, and shopkeeper Han just wanted to save my face, so come and chat..."

Brother Jiu looked easy-going, but his tone was not room for negotiation.

After three or four years in the capital, Han Jiangshi is no longer that business woman sitting in a well watching the sky.

She also knows a lot about Brother Nine, and she knows exactly why the Tian family was robbed last year.

In the business world of the capital, Brother Nine is "famous and famous", and no one knows that the prince of the current dynasty is ruthless.Sweat was already oozing from Han Jiang's forehead, if he offended the prince, he didn't know what disaster would happen.

For a while, she didn't have a proper idea.

Seeing that she didn't reply, brother Jiu snorted a little impatiently.

Behind Brother Nine, there were a few long followers, looking at Han Jiangshi as if they were prey.Looking at it like that, if Han Jiangshi dared to say "no", he would step forward and restrain others.

Han Jiangshi let out a long breath, straightened his back, nodded slightly, and said: "Since Master Jiu ordered, that woman will bother you..."

Brother Nine's expression became better when he heard this.

Han Jiangshi turned around and told Xiaofu: "Ask the shopkeeper to send a few boxes of newly made wine rice cakes to various prefectures to taste the early adopters, and then bring two more boxes to honor Jiu Ye."

Xiaofu bowed in response, immediately turned around and took two quick steps, and entered the shop in Daoxiang Village.

When Brother Jiu saw this, he didn't stop him. He just glanced at Han Jiangshi, pointed to the teahouse behind, and said, "Master Han, please."

"Don't dare to be invited by Master Jiu." Han Jiangshi lowered his head and replied, and then brought Xiaoxi and followed Brother Jiu into the teahouse.

Although there is tea hanging outside, but when entering the shop, the lobby is elegantly decorated, unexpectedly, there are no customers.

The Han Jiang family knew about this teahouse.The head of this shopkeeper is active, guarding the front door of Daoxiang Village, and he does not prepare all kinds of hard noodles for inspection like other teahouses, and a whole bunch of Daoxiang Village dim sum.

The customers here order it now, and the little guy over there directly sends it to the shop in Daoxiang Village to buy it.It is placed in high-quality porcelain, which looks very classy.

Seeing the shopkeeper fawning on Brother Jiu, saying "Master" one by one, Han Jiangshi was a little surprised. It seemed that Brother Jiu was involved in more business than rumored outside.

But she didn't know that Brother Jiu bought this store for Daoxiang Village.Originally, he also wanted to build a Nandian shop, but when he saw that Daoxiang Village had become popular, he gave up this idea and opened a teahouse.

Brother Nine originally wanted to ask Han Jiang's private room on the second floor to talk, but seeing her dressed as a widow, he walked to a corner of the lobby and told the shopkeeper who followed behind his buttocks: "Make a pot of good tea, master wants to talk to Han Jiang." Jiang Shi speaks."

The shopkeeper knew how to read people's faces, bowed to answer, and led some young men in the room down. Later, he personally held the tea tray, brought up a pot of good tea, and then retreated.

At this moment, Xiaofu had already brought the Jiuniang cake and put it on the tea table, while she retreated behind Han Jiangshi, standing side by side with Xiaoxi.

In the room, only Brother Jiu and Han Jiang's master and servant were left.

Brother Nine took out a thin booklet with a few pages from his sleeve.He pushed those few pages in front of Han Jiangshi, and said, "Master Han, look at this first."

Mrs. Han Jiang stretched out her hand, picked it up, and looked at it. It was the land deed and house deed of the "Yongshun Bank" at the front door, as well as a note from the government.This bank is one of the busiest banks in the capital.

Han Jiang put down these few pages, looked up at Elder Brother Jiu, and said, "The housewife has read it, what else can Master Jiu order?"

Brother Nine did not speak, and pointed to the thin booklet on the coffee table.

Han Jiangshi took a breath and opened it. There was no abnormality on his face, but he was surprised in his heart.This is a general ledger of the income of various shops under the name of Brother Jiu in the 55th year of Kangxi.

Brother Nine is involved in a variety of industries. In the capital city alone, there are more than a hundred industries.There are also some businesses involved in Gyeonggi, Zhili, Jiangnan and other places.

Even if it can't be said that Ninth Elder Brother is as rich as an enemy, his worth is one of the best among the clan princes of the current dynasty.

"You have been in Beijing for the past few years. I have been watching you. It is a material for business, so it should not be confined to these pastry shops." Brother Jiu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Mr. He is not a magnanimous person. He hated Cao Yong in his heart because of these transactions before. Naturally, he couldn't see you as a big shopkeeper who came out to do things. However, watching you establish a foothold in Daoxiang Village and make the business of this shop more and more Prosperous, the Lord also has the idea of ​​cherishing talents."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "It's not that he didn't have other thoughts. In the eyes of the master, the Cao family really doesn't matter. Whether it's the big princess of Chunwang's mansion or Yaerjiang Ah's pet, I really want to strengthen you." How about Qiye and Yaerjiang Aneng? Even if they are in front of the imperial court, it's nothing more than a reprimand. It's not that I don't dare, it's that I disdain. It's not easy for a woman to do this. Talent, I want to use you, not to destroy you. I came here today on a whim. I am tired, so I don’t want to worry about it anymore. I want to find someone to entrust me with. If you are willing to help me, I will give you that bank Meeting ceremony. I heard that your Liuhe bank in Jiangning has also been a signboard for many years, and it is your mother’s dowry. Your widow is unemployed. Is it?"

Ninth elder brother is as usual as usual, not directly and sharply at all.

Han Jiang's face was already blushing. She had long known that the capital was not easy to live in. In the eyes of the powerful, she was not much better than an ant, and she was just attached to the Cao Mansion to barely gain a foothold.However, I still feel a little embarrassed to hear Brother Nine say it so boldly.

It was indeed her early wish to open a bank in the capital, but her brain is not clear yet, so she would never seek skin from a tiger.

"Jiuye values ​​it very much, and the women are very grateful. They are just entrusted by others and are loyal to others. Since the women went to Beijing, they have received a lot of favor from the princess. In the rest of my life, I am willing to do my best to repay the kindness of the princess." Han Jiang said. Nodding his head, he replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Brother Nine was not surprised by his reaction.

He smiled and didn't mean to be angry. He pointed to the account book and said, "Since shopkeeper Han doesn't want to leave Cao's house, I will transfer this to Cao Yong for my master and pass a message to Cao Yong. This is my master's family property." If my master wants to open a gold shop with him in partnership, the big shopkeeper will be made by shopkeeper Han."

When Han Jiangshi heard this, he couldn't help but startled.

There are two types of "gold shops" in the capital, one is a place for selling gold wares, the other is for collecting and exchanging gold and silver, plus it handles donations to officials and goes to the yamen.The Tongwenxuan Division has contacts with the donated houses, starting from the approval of enthronement, taking care of all donating officials.

The relationship is so important, how could the Han Jiang family accept it so easily, and hurriedly said softly: "This is a major matter that Jiu Ye valued. If there is a word among the women, if there are deficiencies, wouldn't it be a disappointment to Jiu Ye's good intentions? Otherwise, please invite Cao Ye Come here and listen to Master Jiu's orders face to face."

Brother Jiu snorted coldly and said: "Even if the master invites him, does he have the guts to come over? The left and right masters have confessed to the shopkeeper Han, even if Cao Yong does not partner, this gold shop is still in charge, just say what I said, let him Think about it."

After finishing speaking, Brother Nine stood up, nodded at Han Jiangshi, and walked out.

Han Jiangshi got up from his seat to see them off, looking at the account books, land deeds, house deeds and other things left on the coffee table, he couldn't help frowning.

After a while, Yang Zimo came in from the outside with a little anxiety.

Seeing that Han Jiangshi was safe and sound, he was relieved.Han Jiangshi has already asked Xiaoxi to keep the account books and other things, and he stayed here and did not leave immediately, because he was worried about Yang Zimo and the people from the Cao family.

"Didn't you say that Jiu Beizi has been sick all the time, why did you think of asking for trouble?" Yang Zimo asked with a bit of worry.

Han Jiangshi couldn't go into details about it, and said: "Perhaps she was passing by, but the younger sister was timid and panicked, and disturbed the elder sister."

Yang Zimo shook his head and said, "I'm not an outsider, why are you being polite to my sister?" Having said that, he looked around and said, "Where are the people from Cao's mansion? My sister should also send a letter to Cao's mansion, right?"

While talking, he heard movement at the door, it was someone from the Cao residence.

The one who came was Chuyu's sister Ye Nanny, who knew Han Jiangshi and Yang Zimo, and after meeting them, she said, "Grandma Han, let's ask this old slave to pick up Grandma and talk to her."

It turned out that after Chuyu got the news about Daoxiang Village, she immediately consulted with Cao Yong.

Although he didn't know what Brother Jiu wanted to do with Han Jiangshi, but since the place where he was talking was a teahouse, and Xiaofu was allowed to go back to report the letter, Cao Yong felt a little more at ease.

After discussing with Chuyu, Cao Yong still asked Mother Ye to pick up Han Jiangshi in the name of Chuyu.

On Han Jiang's side, it was time to discuss with Cao Yong. Hearing Mammy Ye's words, he nodded and said, "Understood, I'm sorry to trouble Mammy." He took off a plain gold bracelet, stuffed it into Ye Momo's hand, and said: "There is nothing good, so Mama should keep it for others."

As Chuyu's mistress, Nanny Ye has only been supported by the mansion these years, and has not been assigned any errands.The Han Jiang family lived in the Cao Mansion, and knowing this, they made a gift.

Mother Ye couldn't refuse, and accepted it with a smile.

Although Yang Zimo was full of curiosity, he still understood Han Jiang's family. When he saw her, he diverted his conversation and didn't give details. It must have involved the Cao family, so it's not easy to talk to others.Therefore, he gave Han Jiang a few words and went back to the other courtyard first.

Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Cao Yong came back from Lanyuan to greet his parents, changed his official uniform, and walked up and down on the ground with his hands behind his back.Originally, Wei Hei and Li Wei were in a happy mood when they returned home, but it was also clouded by the unexpected events of Brother Jiu.

Seeing this, Chu Yu glanced at the clock, and said, "Don't worry, my son-in-law, I've been away for a while, and I'll be back soon."

Cao Yong nodded, stopped in his tracks, turned around and walked to the edge of the kang to sit down, heaving a heavy breath.

The development of things is getting more and more weird. The thirteenth elder brother who should have been silent until the fourth elder brother ascended the throne now wants to go out of the mountain; Son?
Companion to a king is like a tiger, and he still has to think about how to come up with a "method to make money", but he has to bear the pressure of the princes.

Could it be that the world can't do without him?
Seeing that her husband was preoccupied, Chuyu instructed Xicai in a low voice, "Send someone to the second gate and ask if Mammy is back."

Xicai went out in response, and before she could tell the little girl, she saw Mother Ye leading Han Jiangshi over.

"Gege, son-in-law, Nanny is back, and Grandma Han is also here." Xi Cai raised her voice to report.

Han Jiangshi entered the room and explained the meeting with Brother Jiu from the beginning to the end.She originally wanted to keep the matter of the bank wooing her, but she hesitated again and again and told the truth.

Chu Yu is still confused, only knows that this business is not easy to do, although it is a profitable business, but with Brother Jiu's temperament, it seems that he wants to eat alone.

Anyone who can open a gold store in Beijing and run a donation channel has no background, and they are all dignitaries and eunuchs.

Cao Yong took the account book, and his heart has turned several times.

The drunken man's intention was not in the wine, but Jiu Prince's original intention was not in the literal sense.Otherwise, he was full and was thinking about finding a partner with Cao Yong.

Who doesn't know that Cao's father and son are "Emperor Party", Cao Yong these years, despite the ups and downs of his career, but also put on "loyalty and filial piety" attitude.Not to mention that now that Cao Yong is in charge of any of the six subjects, he often needs to be on errands in front of the emperor, and he has the right to play directly...

After thinking about it, Cao Yong said to Han Jiangshi: "Let's put this thing here. I'll send someone back tomorrow. This time it was a false alarm. I'm really sorry for causing you to be scared."

"Master Cao is being polite, it's because the little lady couldn't hold her breath, she made a fuss." Han Jiangshi leaned over and replied.

At this moment, a daughter-in-law came to ask for instructions, asking where the banquet for the wind was placed.

When Han Jiangshi saw that the message was over and it was getting dark outside, he got up and said goodbye.Chu Yu originally wanted to keep her until she left after dinner, but seeing that she could hardly hide her exhaustion, she didn't try to persuade her to stay.

After Han Jiangshi left, Chu Yu hesitated for a while, and asked Cao Yong, "Ezu, what does Uncle Nine mean? Do you really want to do business with us?"

Cao Yong shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe, maybe it's just for me to pass on a message..."

Songyuan, go to the room.

Wang Ying put down her chopsticks and secretly glanced at Aunt Chang.It just so happened that Aunt Chang also looked at her with a smile on her face, and met her face to face.

"Auntie..." Wang Ying murmured with some embarrassment.

Aunt Chang nodded, and said, "The posture of the chopsticks is right, and the sitting posture is not bad, she looks a bit like a girl..." At this point, her eyes fell on the rice bowl in front of Wang Ying, looking at the few grains of rice left in it , shook his head in disapproval, and said, "It's just that you should remember to cherish your blessings, and think about every porridge and meal."

Wang Ying blushed in response, lowered her head to take the chopsticks, and pulled a few grains of rice from the bottom of the bowl into her mouth.

At this time, someone laughed and said, "Auntie taught sister how to behave again?"

It was Qiniang who came back, her eyebrows curved, and she carried a few bags of food in her hand.

"Aunt Xiang asked me to bring it here, and she blamed me for not pulling my sister to play." Qiniang put the food on the table, turned her head, and said to Aunt Chang: "Auntie, this is Xiang The things my aunt brought from Uncle Wei’s hometown were bacon for the Chinese New Year. When I was a child, my mouth was the most greedy. "

Seeing how lively she was, Aunt Chang wanted to lecture her with a straight face, but Qiniang pulled her arm away.Then Qiniang said with sparkling eyes: "Auntie, let's cut a few slices and bake them to taste?"

Although she had just finished dinner, Wang Ying was a little hurt by the scene, staring at the bacon, speechless in a daze.

Seeing this, Aunt Chang sighed inwardly, patted Qiniang's hand, and said: "Since you want to eat, send the little button to the kitchen so that someone can make it."

Qiniang also saw that Wang Ying was wrong, and regretted that she said this to her, and begged Aunt Chang: "Gungu, let Sister Ying go with Qiniang? Just calm down and go to see Tianyou and Qiniang when you come back." Hang Seng to go."

Seeing Wang Ying's thin face, Aunt Chang couldn't help feeling sorry for her, she nodded, and said, "Just go, just remember one thing, my wife told me that you can't let the young masters eat outside food."

Qiniang nodded her head vigorously, and said: "I know, I know, since Zuo Zhu ate sweet potatoes and had diarrhea last time, even the uncle didn't buy food from outside..."

After leaving the Songyuan, seeing that Wang Ying was still bored, Qiniang pulled her arm and said, "Sister Ying is also happy, do you feel bored? Otherwise, I will tell Sister Zijing to take you out tomorrow." Visit the capital?"

Wang Ying squeezed out a bit of a smile, patted her on the forehead and said, "Qiniang is so kind, my sister loves me, I don't want to go anywhere. I'd better just stay here, so I won't bother my aunt."

Qiniang pouted and said: "If my sister doesn't feel bored, why is she so worried that people can't bear to look at her?"

Hearing this, Wang Ying's expression froze, she grabbed Qiniang's arm, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Sister, I can't forget what Master Cao told me to forget. Not only can't I forget it, but it's getting worse The clearer it is, the place..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Qiniang stretched out her small hand to block her mouth.

Qiniang's little face was tense, she looked at Wang Ying and said, "Sister Ying, Master Cao's words were all for my sister's benefit. My sister still thinks about these things, who is I worthy of?"

Wang Ying's face was pale, with two lines of tears showing, and said in a low voice: "Sister, I'm really not reconciled, those things, those things... I bought them with the lives of my father and brother... to build roads and bridges, and pray for the dead That's fine... Otherwise, wouldn't my father and my elder brother have died in vain..."
