Chapter 179(1/2)
The wine lasted for two hours before the break.
Because his stomach was churning and unable to withstand the bumps, and the Fenggong City was not far from home, Jiao abandoned the frame and took the sling pillar back on foot.
When passing through the newsstand at the intersection, Jiao Shun remembered that he had been very busy recently and had missed the essays from the recent issues of the worm 2, so he ordered Shuanzhu to go and buy them all.
He stood on the street for a while, but because his eyes were always dizzy, he found a stall and pulled a horse stool and sat down.
The vendor seemed to recognize him. Instead of annoyed, he ran to the tea stall not far away and bought two cups of tea for Jiaoshun to relieve wine.
Jiao Shun suppressed his drunkenness a little. When he looked at the vendor, he realized that it was the place where the tire was replenished. Although this business seemed inconspicuous, it was actually holding the sign of Rongguo Mansion, which was called the Fenggong Market.
He is a first-class and arrogant person and has done many acts of bullying and dominating the market.
Of course, this heroic spirit has to be divided into whom.
Jiao Shun has always maintained a considerable influence on "Tianxingjian". He is more determined to be the one who replenishes tires and sucks. No wonder the other party is so cautious and respectful.
He asked casually, "How is the recent transaction?"
“It’s excellent!”
The vendor smiled and said, "There are more and more people using our pneumatic tires in Beijing, and the business is becoming more and more prosperous. I have transferred two people from the mansion to help, and I still have no time to spare every day.
”
In the past six months, Tianxingjian sold more than 100,000 tires in Beijing alone, and it is estimated that it is not far from saturation in the market. At least it is no longer as popular as before. Instead, it is a business of tire replenishing and gasping.
It is becoming more and more prosperous.
Fortunately, various places have also been deployed one after another. Overall, tires after increasing production are still in short supply.
After chatting with the "shopkeeper" of this street stall, Shuanzhu also bought a newspaper and came back.
Because I saved up three or four periods of time, I rolled a pile of thick pieces, and at the outside, I also wrapped it with a business report dedicated to the use of grains and reincarnation. I could tell at a glance that I had experienced the masters.
Jiao Shun took the newspaper and glared at Shuanzhu.
This kid is fifteen now, and his knowledge is much higher than two years ago. He naturally couldn't scare him by the words at the beginning - but it's not a big deal to cast spells at the newspapers. It seems that it is necessary to help him find a marriage.
It's right.
These days, high-ranking families get married later, while ordinary people generally talk about marriage at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
I made a reservation for him this year and I will get married next year.
Thinking of some things that were not there, Jiao Shun staggered on the road again.
Because I really didn't want to take a detour, I walked through the corner gate of the front yard of Rongfu, and prepared to pass through the demolished large flower hall and go home directly along the inner wall.
Unexpectedly, when he came into the corner gate, he was running into an old Taoist priest carrying a medicine box.
This old Taoist Jiao Shun also recognized it as Zhang Yitie, who was famous in the market. So he stopped him and asked a few questions, asking which master in this mansion was sick.
The old Taoist had not spoken yet, and the servant who led the way rushed to say first: "Who else can it be? Miss Lin is sick again - she is born weak and will always get sick every now and then."
This little girl stayed in the house all day and didn't move. It would be strange if her body was well.
Jiao Shun asked about the condition roughly, but he didn't say anything anymore and led Shuanzhu to continue rushing home.
On the road, I spit out a little while holding the inner wall, and I lost my appearance.
When he entered the door, he hurriedly called Yuchuan to take the sobering soup, and then lay on Xiangling's legs, asking her to press the beating temples.
As soon as the sobering soup was delivered, someone in the yard shouted "Brother Jiao".
You can tell that it was Xue Pan who arrived after hearing the movement.
Today, the Southwest Army soldiers originally had a banquet for him and Xue Pan, but because Wang Ziteng temporarily summoned him - the Wuxi people's mission was escorted by Wang Ziteng himself to Beijing - Xue Daming was unable to do so.
Attend as promised.
Now he came here specially, probably to ask about his words during the meal.
Jiao Shun took the sobering soup and tilted his head to drink it, then ordered: "Go and invite Mr. Xue in."
Hearing the three words "Mr. Xue", Xiangling hurriedly said, "Then I'll go to the inner room first."
She almost became Xue Pan's housekeeper at the beginning. Although the matter was not done, it was a bit difficult to meet.
Jiao Shun said "yes", and she carefully replaced her thighs with a pillow and quietly hid in the inner room.
Almost at the same time, Xue Pan also walked in with Yuchuan.
Seeing Jiao Shun being drunk and tilted on the Arhat's bed, he didn't care much, so he looked for a chair and sat on it, sighing and stopping.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Jiao Shun couldn't help but say, "Even if you miss a drink, you don't have to be disappointed like this, right?"
"Oh~"
Xue Pan sighed heavily and said depressedly: "I'm afraid it's not just this time, but I'll never have a chance in the future!"
But it turned out that Xue Pan was called by his uncle today because it was nothing else, but the soldiers from the southwest.
Wang Ziteng repeatedly urged him to strictly prohibit him from interacting with the Southwest Army and Han, and it would be better to be alienated from the generals and officials of the Beijing camp - in short, it would be fine if they had made friends before, but they could no longer expand their circle of friends in the military.
After receiving this reprimand for no reason, Xue Pan was very resentful.
When I got home, I couldn't help but complain to my sister, saying that my uncle was in the army by himself, and said that he would not let him make friends with the army. If this is the case, wouldn't it be better to simply break off the relatives?
Xue Baochai asked in detail, but reminded her solemnly: "Brother, don't say this again in the future! My uncle should be of great use in the southeast, so he is unwilling to cause trouble."
Xue Pan wondered: "What's the big use?"
Baochai also analyzed: "After rebuilt the Western Barbarians, the Southeast Navy, was rebuilt into the Ocean Navy, he could not say that he would go to the South China Sea to promote the prestige of the country - this is naturally a good thing for the country and the people, but the sword has double blades, which is external.
Although it can strengthen the sea boundaries of our Great Xia and promote the power of our Great Xia army, if this ocean-going navy is usurped by ambitious people, it can lead its troops north to Beijing and Tianjin, which may be more harmful than the army."
Speaking of this, she shook her head and sighed: "It's no wonder that my uncle is determined to avoid suspicion in this place of suspicion."
"He avoided suspicion of him, why did he insist on involving me?"
Xue Pan complained, but he knew that this matter was extraordinary, and he did not dare to disobey Prince Teng's orders, so he gritted his teeth and found the Jiao family.
After briefly explaining the reason in the inner city, he said bitterly: "It's fine to have this batch. If you transport it from the southwest in the future, it will be difficult for my family to participate."
He paused and added: "You told them to transport less of the bad goods, otherwise if they were hit in their hands, no wonder I, Lao Xue, didn't care about them."
Tsk ~
It has been confirmed today that the next few batches will only have wood, and there is no need to worry about the sales of wood.
But the word "avoid suspicion" reminds Jiao Shun that he also came from the Wang family. Should he avoid suspicion as well?
But after thinking about it, I can't bear to leave the subsequent benefits.
As the saying goes, if you don’t know that firewood and rice are expensive, Jiao Shun is used to being big, so naturally he is increasingly reluctant to give up on these extravagant days.
This time, I only got two or three thousand taels because I had to supplement those junk goods. Next time, I would have no trouble, and I could get at least five thousand taels of input.
If I go to the middleman of the Xue family again...
After a while, I was afraid I would have to get an investment of 20,000 taels!
The Jiao family is no longer as expensive as the Rongguo Mansion family. The 20,000 taels of silver is enough for him to spend three or five years.
Let's drag it first and see the direction of the wind.
…………
Just as Jiao Shun was addicted to women, he began to be obsessed with money.
Baoyu Sanchun and Li Wan learned that Lin Daiyu was sick, so they all went to visit her.
Seeing Lin Daiyu leaning on the bed, looking timid and pitiful, Jia Baoyu immediately suffered from hysteria, beat her chest and stamped her feet and shouted: "Blame me, blame me! It's all my fault for being so busy these days, and I forgot to come to my sister sooner or later.
Visited, but I didn’t even know that my sister was sick!”
He still felt that it was not enough to beat his chest, so he clenched his fists and prepared to smash it on his head.
Seeing this, Li Wan hurriedly stopped him and advised: "My Lady Lin is just suffering from some coldness. Why don't you take it on your head? If you make yourself out, it will be Lin Meimei to take care of you.
, Or are you taking care of Lin Meimei?"
Baoyu then got depressed and sat on the bed without hesitation, and began to ask Lin Daiyu about her well-being and investigate her condition.
Seeing that they were young, Li Wan couldn't help but remember that when she first married into Rongguo Mansion, her husband Jia Zhu also cared for her in every way, but soon remembered her recent dreams, and the memories of the past immediately turned into shame.
At this time, Jia Baoyu said decisively: "When I say something to my wife, I won't go to the Laoshizi yamen from tomorrow. I will not be an official or a servant. Why join in the fun with them!"
As he said that, the guy picked up Daiyu's tenderness as if no one else was around and said seriously: "I only stay with my sister. When will the disease be cured, I can leave with confidence."
Daiyu was moved, and was a little embarrassed in front of so many people, so she hurriedly retracted her hand and said proudly: "So, after I get well, do you want to stay away from me?"
"No, no!"
Baoyu hurriedly swears: "I will not go anywhere from now on, I will only accompany my sister, live in one place, die in the same place!"
"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
At this time, someone suddenly spat a few times outside the door, then picked up the curtain and said half-truely, half-falsely, "My sister Lin is ill, but you just say what life and death are you going to do, aren't you afraid of making taboos?"
