The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

Jia Hu's face was very ugly, he asked: "The person who participated in the impeachment of Biyulou?"

The eighth prince said: "They are all from the second brother."

It is absolutely impossible for Prince Li to make a move like this. The sound of the rain is heavy and the rain is small, so there must be a backup.The Rong Mansion without Duke Rong is vulnerable to Prince Li, Jia Hu made a decisive decision and asked, "What does Your Highness want me to do?"

Cheng Wang smiled.

He chatted and said: "I heard that there is a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. It used to be the dowry of the old lady of the Zunfu, and craftsmen came in and out frequently. I'm curious. I don't know what other wonderful ideas you have, Jia Hu?"

Jia Hu smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness, I appreciate the prize. My mother's birthday is coming soon, this is just a filial piety of a son. How about I give a copy to Cheng Wang's Mansion when the craftsman experiments out the recipe?" Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, but intellectual property rights are not protected here, and the legal provisions are just a piece of paper in a sense, and he can only recognize it with his nose.

King Cheng shook his head, "No, I don't want Fang Zi."

Jia Hu breathed a sigh of relief, if Cheng Wangfu wanted to do this business, he could only give in.He was a little puzzled again, and asked, "Then what can I do for Your Highness?"

King Cheng didn't answer, but just mentioned lightly: "Everyone wants to take a bite of the delicious fat meat. What can you do to deal with it?"

Jia Hu said, "Our family still has some old friends."

The eighth prince sneered at the side: "There is nothing in the world for nothing, what do you give to repay favors?"

Jia Hu was silent.Since the Liu family became the head of the family, the Rong Mansion and the other nobles have become a little bit alienated, not to mention that Jia Hu is not willing to help them in exchange for prescriptions, so it is better to sell them to King Cheng.Most of the other good friends are noble, for the sake of mother, maybe the two uncles are willing to help him?

The Eighth Prince said again: "The Liu family has always been wise and safe, but with a little money, they might persuade you to give up."

Jia Hu sighed secretly, and asked, "What good idea does His Highness Eighth have?"

The eighth prince opened his mouth to speak, but Cheng Wang stopped him in time, saying: "If you are a smart person, you will know who is the biggest backer in the world."

Jia Hu was surprised, thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."

For a while Jia Hu went out.The Eighth Prince asked suspiciously: "Fifth Brother, aren't you trying to win over Jia Hu?"

A smile appeared in Cheng Wang's eyes, "Jia Hu's ability is not in mere money. Now is not the time."

The eighth prince was speechless and said: "This is not considered capable? Those shops add up to a huge fortune. In just three years, tens of millions of silver taels, many wealthy businessmen will spend almost this amount in their lifetime."

King Cheng said helplessly, "Aside from the money, what else did you see?"

The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "Could it be that Fifth Brother is still thinking about the policy theory from three years ago? I've read it too, and it was about a businessman," he said disapprovingly, "This Jia Hu's talent is only in business up."

King Cheng was silent.The eighth brother first knew that Jia Hu's business methods were superb, and then his strategies and theories were inevitably biased, but he first recognized Jia Hu's talent and learning.A man who can write about statecraft is worth his patience.

When Jia Hu returned to Rongfu, the first thing he did was to confess to Jia She, and he was reprimanded.

This time, Jia Amnesty really jumped in anger.

He blushed and roared thickly: "Is the family short of your food and drink or short of your clothes? After the dignified Duke, he is willing to be a lowly businessman! Rongguo Mansion has lost all face!"

Jia Hu lowered her head forbearingly, as if obediently admitting her mistake.

The more Jia She thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he yelled, the more he didn't look like it. He even uttered the obscene and vulgar words he learned during his exile in his previous life. joke.

After venting in this way, Jia Amnesty calmed down, and said in a bitter voice: "You evil, your grandfather left you so much private property, and you are not satisfied?" He added: "You are just trying to show off, and now you are better." , you only tell me when you get into trouble, where do you put your parents?"

Jia Hu explained softly: "Father, I just have nothing to do in my free time, so I took care of the shop. I still focus on my studies on weekdays."

Jia Hu lived under Jia She's nose for three years, and Jia She knew it was the truth, and the profit figure Jia Hu said was too shocking, so Jia She didn't care about other shops and just groaned. He hummed and said, "What about Biyu Tower?"

"That's also the jewelry building under my grandfather's name." Jia Hu's eyes drifted.

Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes, "Where did that batch of jade come from?" Before Jia Hu could say anything, he added, "Don't tell me that your grandfather left it to you. I know how much father's private house has! Lots!" At least not enough to open a jewelry store.

Jia Amnesty covered his chest and pretended to be vicious and asked: "Tell me! Where did you get the jade? Don't you really get it by collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country?!" This brat, how can he cause more trouble than him!

Jia Hu hurriedly said, "How is this possible!"

Only then did Jia Amnesty breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a dark face, "Where did that come from?"

Jia Hu replied, "It was untied from the stone."

Jia She blew his beard and stared: "You think I'm stupid, can jade be born from stone?!"

Only then did Jia Hu explain that on Jia Daishan's memorial day a year ago, he went to worship the Buddha in a temple outside Jinling, and happened to see a middle-aged man who was dressed very differently from the people at that time. He was curious and went up to ask.

It turned out that the man was a businessman from a small country outside the border of Yunnan and Jiangnan of the Great Zhou. He specialized in selling silk from the south of the Yangtze River to the princes and nobles of those small countries. His business has been sluggish in the past few years. He just sold a batch of silk this year. The remaining money is not enough to buy a new batch of goods.

Jia Hu's heart moved, and he asked him if he had heard of Tengchong's emerald jade.

The man smiled and waved his hands again and again, saying that he had never thought of selling emerald jade in Dazhou, but emerald jade is not actually jade, its texture is too hard, except for the three-color emerald which symbolizes fortune, wealth and longevity, which can be sold for money, others It was not accepted by the scholar-bureaucrats who advocate gentleness.

Jia Hu said, he has a way to sell the jade for a price.

Later, that person signed a contract with Jia Hu's steward, and that person was in charge of selling the raw jadeite to Jia Hu at a low price. Jia Hu had a jewelry building with jewelry craftsmen. The building is now the Jasper Building.

Jia Hu told all these things exactly, even the fact that he and a good friend wrote the "Jade Fu" in person.

Jia Amnesty couldn't believe it and asked, "Is the emerald really extracted from the stone?"

Jia Hu reported the price that the merchant sold him in a low voice, saying, "It was originally the price for buying the stone, and the rest is just the shipping fee."

Jia Amnesty was excited, this is a huge profit.He walked around the study room several times before calming down, suddenly thinking of the predicament in front of him, he froze again.Although gold and silver are good, they should be enjoyed with life.

"Didn't His Royal Highness ask for your accounting method? Did he say he would protect you?"

Jia Hu shook his head and said another thought.

The more Jia Amnesty listened, the brighter his eyes became. When he finished, he patted Jia Hu on the shoulder, and said with a pleasant face, "You write a booklet for Father, and submit it to Father in a few days." After speaking, he happily left.

When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "By the way, don't worry about your private property. I still have some face in front of the emperor. Everything is with my father. You can just wait for next year's spring with peace of mind!"

Jia Hu's eyes were a little moist, and she responded in a low voice.

Mrs. Liu is particularly troubled these days. Originally, when the Rong Mansion was a filial piety, there were many posts asking her to watch the show and enjoy the flowers. These days, I don't know what it is. Even the Eldest Princess posted a post asking her to appreciate the plum blossoms.

It's winter, Mrs. Liu really doesn't like to go out, but who makes this eldest princess so respected by the emperor.Besides, the relatives of the emperor, even though Mrs. Liu is Mrs. Rong, it is not easy to offend.

No, early this morning, Mrs. Liu arranged a carriage to go to the Dachang Princess' mansion for a banquet.I went happily, but came back confused.

First, the eldest princess' daughter-in-law welcomed her in affectionately. Mrs. Liu is not the highest status among the wives, and she is not the closest to the Zhao family, so it is inevitable that she feels a little uneasy.

The eldest princess' daughter-in-law is surnamed Tang. Because Jia Hu and Zhao Yi have a good relationship, the two wives also have some friendship on weekdays.Mrs. Liu pulled her and asked in a low voice, "My good sister, what's wrong with you today?"

Tang shi covered her mouth and smiled: "Oh, today is not my host, my mother-in-law is watching from above." The last sentence was so low that Liu shi, who was closest to her, could barely hear it.

Mrs. Liu understood, it turned out to be the order of the eldest princess.She also put on a smile all over her face, and had an intimate conversation with Madam Tang, seeing that the face of the old Princess Nan'an next to the eldest princess was contorted.

It was a good salute again, and after everyone took their seats, the old Nan'an princess smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this Mrs. Jia? Why didn't you bring the emerald head mask from last time?"

After the death of Jia Mu, the relationship between Rong Mansion and Nan'an Palace has faded, and the New Year's ceremony is neither salty nor weak.The relationship between the old princess of Nan'an and Jia's mother has always been good. It is suspected that Jia's mother left suddenly, and the timing was a bit coincidental. It happened just a few months before Rong Guogong went, and he was unhappy that after Jia She took charge of the family, Rongfu blindly alienated the four princes and eight princes. , very dissatisfied with Jia Amnesty's wife.

This time the eldest princess invited Mrs. Xungui, the old concubine of Nan'an, Princess of Nan'an, Princess of Beijing, and other first-class uncles, first-class sons, and wives of generals.Among the guests, the old concubine Nan'an had the highest seniority and was the most important, ranking first on the left of the princess, but Mrs. Liu was brought to the bottom on the right of the princess.

Hearing this, Liu covered her mouth and chuckled reflexively, preparing to get through this paragraph.The old concubine of Nan'an hadn't had a good job for a few years, and Mrs. Liu didn't have to contradict her. If the old man had something good or bad, would Mrs. Liu still hang out in the circle of noble ladies.

At this time, a middle-aged beautiful woman said with a smile: "The old lady is joking, how can anyone wear the same style every day, and it's not a shabby household, so there is no need to make people laugh."

Liu Shi turned her head and looked over, startled.
