Chapter 379
After Jiao Shun finished conveying the message to Mrs. Wang, he went home to catch up on his sleep. He closed his eyes and slept until dusk, but he didn't know that somehow, he would become the breaking point for the couple again.
Nearing Unity Time [five o'clock in the afternoon], Jiao Shun woke up in a daze. Seeing that no one was in the room, he took off his shoes and went to the ground. While stretching, he raised his voice and said, "Where is the person? What time is it?"
Unexpectedly, it was not the maids who came in through the curtain, but the playful and smiling Jia Rong.
"Uncle is finally awake."
Jia Rong held her fan and bowed with her fists loosely. She turned her eyes to the vital part between Jiao Shun's legs. She secretly praised this guy for being really good. She blamed him for not being able to hear him when he originally set up the small courtyard.
In the corner of the room, I felt depressed for a long time.
When Jiao Shun saw that it was Jia Rong who came in, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you here?"
Immediately, he remembered something again and added: "Is it because of the sea trade business?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from uncle."
Just as Jia Rong was about to elaborate, Hong Yu and Xiang Ling, the two men on duty, came in and helped Jiao Shun get dressed and wash up.
Seeing that the two maids were both pretty and cute, Jia Rong was about to take a sneak peek, but unexpectedly Jiao Shun waved his sleeves and said, "You go sit outside for a while, and we can talk again after I wash my face and wake up."
.”
This was obviously to guard against him.
嘁~
How can you get it by looking at it twice?
Aren’t all the women in our house at your disposal?
As Jia Rong walked out, she complained that Jiao Shun was from a poor background and was full of petty ambitions, not open-minded and generous at all!
He drank half a cup of tea outside, and then he saw Jiao Shun coming out of the room, so he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said straight to the point: "I don't dare to hide it from uncle, our government plans to use 30,000 taels of silver to test the waters first -
—I have already discussed it with my second aunt. In a few days, we will go south with Baolinghou to buy, and then we will borrow the name of the Wang family to find shipping merchants from Guangdong and Guangxi to rent a ship."
If the father and son were involved in the business of eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling, they would have poured thousands of dollars into it without blinking an eye. But now they are hesitant to do serious business. After hesitating for a long time, they just dig in and search.
I took out thirty thousand taels.
By the way...
How could Wang Xifeng, the master who picks the flesh off mosquitoes' legs, easily agree to give people a lift?
Although he just borrowed a name, the "Southeast King" is now a very golden brand in Guangdong and Guangxi - if he hadn't borrowed the power of Wang Ziteng, he wanted to let the maritime trade of Guangdong and Guangxi take over the ship when the court was promoting maritime trade.
Renting it to outsiders is out of the question!
After hearing the doubts raised by Jiao Shun, Jia Rong proudly crossed his legs, dusted his clothes in a pretentious manner and said, "Second aunt is short of someone to take care of things! There are many old and young in the house, and only Uncle Lian knows a little about official career."
The economy was borrowed by someone surnamed Sun to use the power of the Jinmen fox to fake the tiger's power - this tens of thousands of taels of silver can't be left to the slaves to make the decision, right?"
"To be honest, uncle, our master is going to send Brother Qiang and I on a trip. He has been to the south when he was looking for young actors, so we are familiar with the place."
Think about it too.
From top to bottom, there are only a few good men in this Rongguo Mansion.
Jia She has mastered the five poisons and refuses to do anything, Jia Zhengwo claims to be ill at home, Jia Baoyu...
Further down, Jia Huan and Jia Cong's two and a half-year-old children are even less likely to...
Jia Lan is a person who wants to make progress, but after all, he is still young, and he has been studying hard in the academy and has been away from home for many years.
After all, Jia Lian, a dabbler, has become a leader!
But he was 'borrowed' to Jinmen by Sun Shaozu two days ago. He might not be able to leave in a month or two. Wouldn't Wang Xifeng have to borrow someone from Ningguo Mansion to keep things going?
And this is why Jiao Shunfu was often pulled around to do various things as soon as he rose to prominence.
After all, he was born in the Rongguo Mansion, so he was considered half one of his own, but now that he was engaged to the Shi family through Mrs. Wang's mediation, he was no longer an outsider.
As for Aunt Xue's request for Jiao Shun's help without anyone noticing, it was discussed from the Xu family's side.
As mentioned in the previous article more than once, Mrs. Xu was originally Aunt Xue's personal maid. The two of them had been together since childhood, and their relationship was the same as that of 'Ying'er to Baochai, Zicuckoo to Daiyu'.
Now that there is no distinction between master and servant, and Jiao Shun's kindness for saving Xue Pan, the two get along more and more like sisters.
As for regretting the marriage before...
The Xue family had no time to show their attitude at that time. Everything was done by Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu. Naturally, there was no barrier between the Xue family and the Jiao family.
The book returns to its true story.
Jiao Shun nodded slightly after listening to Jia Rong's words, and then smiled and said: "Since everything has been arranged, you can just make a fortune yourself, why do you need to come to me again?"
"Uncle is joking."
Jia Rong hurriedly straightened her figure, smiled and said, "I heard that my uncle has taken the lead and has raised a batch of official silk porcelain in the south. The price is fair and the quality is good. Now that my family has also invested in it, naturally I have to invite
My uncle will help allocate another batch so that this business can be more profitable."
Jiao Shun had actually guessed Jia Rong's intention for a long time, but recently the father and son were obviously a bit out of touch. He was determined to use this opportunity to fight, and was not prepared to let Jia Rong achieve his goal easily.
So he pretended to be in trouble, frowned and said: "That batch of goods was approved in the name of the imperial court's 'encourage of ocean trade'. I just went along with the flow and got some quotas for the second mistress. Now most of them are already gone."
It’s all sold out, where do you want me to go shopping for something else?”
In the name of export subsidies, the silk porcelain that Jiao Shun and Wang Xifeng took the lead in ordering was already more than 20% cheaper than the market price. In addition, now that the news of sea trade has spread, various wealthy merchants are stocking up on goods, causing the market price to rise.
It has continued to rise, and the difference between inside and outside is as much as 60 to 70%.
And this was exactly the reason why he dared to sign the contract and promised Wang Xifeng huge profits.
"uncle!"
Seeing that Jiao Shun was trying to evade, Jia Rong stood up in panic and used his tried and tested trump card: "Brother Xiong is also involved here. If you don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face, anyway..."
The child born to You was named XIONG.
Jiao Shun raised his hand to interrupt Jia Rong's plea, and said unhappily: "Brother Xiong is blamed for everything. How many kilograms and taels of silver can he, a little suckling baby, use from your family? That wood spices
Isn’t what he earns enough for him to use?”
"Uncle, this..."
"okay."
Interrupting Jia Rong again, Jiao Shun said impatiently: "Let me give it a try in the next few days. If it works, it will be the best. If it doesn't..."
Gu Zheng
"Uncle, what can't happen if you take action?"
This time it was Jia Rong's turn to intercept Jiao Shun's words and said with a smile on his face: "Success will happen soon, success will happen soon!"
But Jiao Shun refused to agree to what he said, and instead came directly to serve tea to see off the guests.
When Jia Rong saw this, he had no choice but to return home in dismay.
When he returned to Ningguo's mansion, he reported the matter to his father, Jia Zhen, but Jia Zhen was not very annoyed. Instead, she stroked her beard and said with a smile: "It's not difficult for me to say this, but we can't do it."
Strength has its own power that makes it stronger."
Jia Rong hesitated when he heard this: "Master, are you talking about my wife? But how could my wife go against his wishes and help us..."
"Ignorant fool!"
Jia Zhen cursed and said proudly: "This woman has been looking forward to such a bastard for more than ten years. Naturally, she loves us like a treasure. Although she is unwilling to leave us alone, how could she not love us for that bastard?"
Plan? As long as we start from this, she will naturally help us speak for us!"
Then, he waved his hand impatiently and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. I'll discuss it with her myself - you should make preparations when you go back. If you delay the family's plan to make money, watch your skin carefully!"
Jia Rong resignedly withdrew, and walked home all the way complaining: There are still people who love and protect that bastard. How come she, the direct son of the Duke's palace, doesn't love her uncle anymore?
However, thinking that this time he would have a lot of money going south, and that he would be able to see the charming and graceful women from the water town, his mood immediately improved a lot.
When I got home, I ordered people to pack my bags quickly, and at the same time I asked people to bring food and wine to the stove. I started to drink happily, but I didn't pay attention to Mrs. Xu, who was sitting beside her uneasily and stopped talking.
Mrs. Xu has been married for more than a year, so she naturally knows that her husband is unreliable.
But no matter how unreliable it is, it’s still better than nothing!
Once Jia Rong is away from home for a long time and is left alone and helpless at home, who can guarantee that her father-in-law, who has a criminal record long ago, can still restrain himself?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu finally plucked up the courage and said timidly: "Master, can I go to the south with you?"
Jia Rong was stunned when he heard this, and then impatiently scolded: "I want to do serious things, how can I have to take care of the family? Besides, my wife still has to take care of the children, how can we live without you in this house now?"
Mrs. Xu lowered her head and neck in fright, clasped her fingers together and muttered: "Yes, but I haven't been involved in any household affairs."
"I don't know how to study!"
Jia Rong firmly threw down the four words, then lowered her head and started eating the food and wine again.
He and Jia Zhen are of the same origin, and have always been greedy for fresh excitement. At first, because Jiao Shun took action to save Xu's chastity, he was complacent and regarded Xu as a treasure. But later, as time went by, he gradually got bored and even turned his back on her.
Not angry that Jiao Shun occupied the You family and ruined his good plan of exchanging small things for big ones.
But Jia Rong didn't have the time to think about that at the moment. His mind was filled with the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and how much oil and water he might be able to get from this shopping trip south.
If it were just Wang Xifeng and his family's money, given their desperate need for money, he would at most deduct a small amount of money.
But Shi Jia is now using the "Maritime Silk Road" as a concept stock to speculate and raise funds. It is estimated that it will not be a problem to raise more than a hundred thousand taels. When Shi Nai takes up his post at sea, he will be able to make a living with this money.
You can even use Shi Nai's name to deceive some retail investors who have no connections...
After calculating both inside and outside, it is still unclear who will make more money in the end, the government or himself - not to mention that sea trade is risky, and this kind of exploitation is worthless!
With such a good money scene, Xu, who was tired of being played by him, naturally had no attraction at all. He didn't even bother to look at it again.
Hmm~
It is said that Yangzhou's thin horses are famous all over the world, and they will definitely show off when they go back to the south.
Furthermore, I heard that the foreign women in Guangdong and Guangxi have original products, unlike those in the capital that have been filtered several times. It is like sugar cane that has been chewed by others. It still has some taste at first taste, but it tastes like chewing wax after careful tasting.
The more Jia Rong thought about it, the more proud she became, but Mrs. Xu was beside herself with despair.
She was originally a merchant girl. Because her parents were bent on clinging to power, she was married to the Rongguo Mansion to be Jia Rong's second wife.
After entering the house, she was trembling with fear. She was afraid that she would make a mistake and make people laugh, but she didn't expect that the Ningguo Mansion itself was the biggest joke!
The father-in-law stripped the ashes and forced his daughter-in-law to death, and the mother-in-law stole someone and blatantly gave birth to a bastard, raising a brother-in-law who could be used both as a nephew and as a wife and concubine.
My husband is even more weird!
It was obviously thanks to Uncle Jiao that I didn't get cheated a second time. Who would have thought that after getting through the intimacy of the wedding and losing all the dowry [most of which fell into Jia Zhen's hands],
Instead of being grateful to Uncle Jiao, he blamed others for ruining his 'good deeds'.
Now my husband is only looking forward to going to the south of the Yangtze River, but he has left himself to fend for himself in this dragon's pond and tiger's den...
Mrs. Xu bit her lower lip miserably, and after thinking about it, she finally came up with an idea, so she hurriedly begged: "If I am willing to take the slave family with me, the slave family will go home to discuss with my parents and collect a sum of money to do this sea trade."
How do you like the business?"
If she can't move him with emotion, she naturally wants to lure him with benefits.
"this……"
Don't tell me, Jia Rong is really just doing this. He has to go through a process to enrich himself, especially before Shi Nai goes to sea, he must first keep a low profile.
Doesn't this mean we have to live a hard life for two months first?
But if it's the father-in-law's money, then there's nothing to worry about. You can just use it to live happily. At worst, you can just make up for it later when it harms retail investors.
If he loses, it belongs to the Yue family. If he makes a profit, he will take the bulk of it and leave three melons and two dates for the Yue family. How dare he argue with someone from a small family?
The more Jia Rong thought about it, the more he felt that it was a feasible thing to do. He just wanted to take the Xu family to the south of the Yangtze River, but he was afraid that he would not be able to pass Jia Zhen's test.
If you care about it so much, how can you miss this great opportunity to return to your old ways?
However, after hesitating again and again, between the money and the kindness of father and son, he finally chose the former, and said decisively: "Then you go back to your parents' house to settle the matter. Then I will ask the wife for instructions. If the wife does not need your help at home, we will
Let’s go south together!”
Although Jia Zhen still has the final say in this family now, You can also do a lot of things, especially now that she has to point to Jiao Shun to get goods, so it's even harder for Jia Zhen to offend her.
As long as he puts forward the promise made by Jiao Shun, Youshi should be able to comply with the situation.
Mrs. Xu was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly bowed deeply and said: "Thank you very much, Master. I will go back early tomorrow morning to discuss it with my family and make sure it won't delay my schedule going south!"
She thought she could finally escape, so she couldn't wait to finalize the matter.
But Jia Rong didn't want to see her looking like a coaxer, so she turned around and started thinking again. If she could get the money in advance, there would be no need to answer the multiple-choice questions, take the money, and then leave Xu behind.
Chapter completed!
