Jia Qiang laughed and didn't budge. How can a man spoil a woman?

Then he replied: "You go first, and when I'm done with my aunt and grandfather, I'll go find you quickly!"

Lin Ruhai: "..."

There was a cold snort in the car, but there was a hint of a smile, and there were several giggles.

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai shook his head helplessly, but there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes looking at Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang's domineering performance in Yangzhou Mansion even seemed a little unscrupulous.

The old fox of the Qi family, even in front of him, the head of the Yangzhou Salt Courtyard, did not lose his aura.

Indeed, based on his experience of being an old friend with the Supreme Emperor, who in the world can easily do anything to him without evidence?

However, facing Jia Qiang, the "good minister" handpicked by the Supreme Emperor, Qi Taizhong was also afraid of "fighting poison with poison", and retreated three points.

Jia Qiang, the half-grown young man in everyone's eyes, ate meat repeatedly in front of Qi Taizhong, who was feared by the head of the Salt Courtyard in the past...

Such a young man should have been disowned by his relatives and lawless.

He had indeed made such a fuss in the Duke's Mansion...

But in front of the people he cares about, he can act like a normal young man, keeping his head down and being small, gentle and considerate...

This is good, this is good...

After Li Jing brought a group of healthy women to escort Daiyu and the others to view the scenery, Jia Qiang continued to support Lin Ruhai and walked around the workshops on the island.

Lin Ruhai thought to himself that he was not a pure Confucian official, but when he saw two rows of wooden rails laid in front of the gate of a house built of tall and huge stones, and after entering the house, he saw something like a huge door frame standing at the door, so he couldn't help asking curiously. : "Brother Qiang, these are..."

Jia Qiang explained with a smile: "This is a track. There are special carts placed on it, and it is pulled by rough horses, which can greatly improve the transport capacity and reduce the workload of workers. This is a gantry crane, and the one on top is a pulley. The goods in the warehouse can be easily sent to the carts by pulling them with the turntable winch. This will improve the efficiency of transportation and prevent the workers from being too tired. The main tasks on the island are Technical, not coolie."

Lin Ruhai was amazed when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Although it's still very rough, it's not as good as the imperial court's general prison, but it's also quite interesting."

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "The master craftsmen in the general prison are all the top skilled craftsmen in the world. How can my small workshop be able to match it? However, it cannot be achieved elsewhere, but it is hard to say in weaving and dyeing." .”

Lin Ruhai reads thoroughly, knows the truth of "what you don't know is what you don't know", and has never tried to understand what the top level of a craft is.

Because he knew that it was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words.

After Lin Ruhai looked around for a week, he looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile: "It seems that you are very confident in the weaving and dyeing methods you have explored, but your aunt also said that you asked to bring back the silk cloth that you brought back to Beijing as a gift to each family. It is brighter and brighter than the ones sold in the market. With this, you don’t have to worry about what gifts to send to each family when you go back. But this time, it will cost you a lot.”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said with a smile: "The weaving and dyeing at home are nothing. Besides, the function of gold and silver wealth is to use it, and it is just a pile of useless waste left in the warehouse. If you can help my aunt to go to Beijing Afterwards, it is worthwhile to contact old friends and relatives as soon as possible, even if it costs ten times more."

Lin Ruhai scolded with a smile when he heard the words: "You blatantly asked me to bribe the family? Don't you know that the emperor and the half-mountain most want to use them?"

Jia Qiang chuckled, and said, "It's impossible to take the knife on all of them, but to take the knife on those wealthy and powerful families. The rest of the empty shells are about to decline or are declining, but the shadow of the ancestors is still there, and there are still some leftovers." The aristocratic family can be drawn and used. Those wastes of the Jia family don’t even want to be officials. They only want to enjoy the blessings at home, but they can interfere in the appointment of some officials in the court. Isn’t it because of some incense left by their ancestors? Favor? Of course, it’s not convenient for my aunt to do these things, so let me do it.”

Of course Lin Ruhai understands these reasons, he is different from Han Bin.

Han Bin was born from a truly poor family, and he was able to get to where he is today, relying on his natural talent and his loyalty, filial piety and enthusiasm.

Han Bin also has friends and allies, but most of his allies and friends are just like him.

It is such a person who can support Dayan's backbone.

It's just that even Han Bin himself understands the truth that it won't last long. He is determined to give up his life in exchange for the longevity of the Great Yan's fortune, and sweep away Shen Ke's filth for Jiangshan Lishu.

Therefore, he will not make false promises with any nobles of the family.

Straightforward and unrelenting!

Only with such courage can we clean up the silent corruption and filth in the officialdom!

Of course, the consequence is to die with the enemy, there will be no second end.

Lin Ruhai admired him, admired him, and was willing to help him.

But Lin Ruhai couldn't do what Han Bin did, because he himself was a member of a family.

He still has concerns in this world, no matter how harsh it is to put it bluntly, the safety of the country and society may not be much more important than the safety of the Lin family...

Therefore, even in order to maintain the continuation of the Lin family, it is impossible for him to disown his relatives like Han Bin, and he has to choose some kindness.

It's just that, as Jia Qiang said, it's not good for him to do these things himself, let alone the emperor and Han Bin, and he has no parents...

Jia Qiang appeared at this time, how can he not let him pay attention and like it?

but……

"In the end, I wronged you. In order to live more freely, you don't kneel with others, and you don't even want to be an official. You wanted to hide behind the scenes and manipulate the situation in order to protect yourself. For you, this is not It's difficult. I don't want to make a fool of others, but when I get to this point, I have to let you go out to show my face..."

At this point, Lin Ruhai was affectionate, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

It's also interesting to use "show your face" on a young man.

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "I thought it was really too beautiful. How can there be such a comfortable thing in this world? As for whether to kneel or not... how can it be satisfactory, but I want to be ashamed! With the promise of the Supreme Emperor, apart from heaven, earth, kings, relatives and teachers Besides, who else would dare to make me kneel?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "It's still a picture... Kneeling, kneeling on the body and kneeling in the heart. Kneeling on the body for a while is not important, as long as you don't kneel in your heart. In fact, I really want to be lighter. It is better to accept the title than not to accept the title. Even if you take the test Foreign officials don't need to kneel in the middle school, but when they meet nobles such as clan princes, county kings, and even Zhen Guogong and Fu Guogong, don't they have to kneel with the national courtesy? It's the lintel of your family's Duke who is included in the clan mansion , have the virtue of sharing the same kinship with the country, coupled with the grace of the Supreme Emperor, you can truly see the noble without kneeling."

Jia Qiang heard the words, nodded slowly and said: "Now, I have no choice but to think about it this way...Gu Zuzhang, don't worry about my anger. If you change the route, it may be more exciting along the way."

Lin Ruhai said happily: "If you think so, I can go back to Beijing with peace of mind. I just want to remind you one more thing, you must pay attention to handling the relationship with the West Mansion, and don't get too nervous. It's not good for anyone to make a fuss. Especially for The old lady of Shangxi Mansion, when the time is right, you can make a little concession. It's not to make you feel wronged, you can take a step forward and then take a half step back. This measure is up to you."

Jia Qiang nodded thoughtfully...

……

"Brother Qiang is here! Look quickly, what is Sister Lin hugging?"

After Jia Qiang finished talking with Lin Ruhai, seeing that he was tired, she hurriedly supported him to the guest room on the island to rest, while he went to the Bailu Lake to find all the girls.

As soon as she showed up, Baoqin had sharp eyes and spotted her early, and waved and cheered happily.

Jia Qiang smiled when she heard the words, walked a few steps to the front, and saw Daiyu wearing a silver fox light red feather gauze veil, holding a white puppy with no trace of variegation in her arms.

Seeing Jia Qiang approaching, although she didn't say a word, in the little starry eyes, there was no sound more than a sound:

I want it!

However, Jia Qiang hesitated for a while, and said: "This dog... is so unclean, will there be a disease..."

Hearing this, Daiyu's eyes suddenly showed disappointment, but she understood that it was not Jia Qiang's stinginess, but genuine concerns.

Besides, she had never raised cats and dogs before, and in the ladies' houses, there were mostly parrots hanging there, which was amazing, and there was absolutely no chance of cats and dogs.

One is that keeping them in the house smells bad, and the other is that they are worried about hurting people.
