Chapter 1118 Gengzijuan: How to Make Money

"Third Miss, my girl is in the house. She has been up for a while. She has been reading for a while and is doing embroidery." Siqi said after a blessing: "Slave, please go to Xiren's place to order some rose saltpeter. These are My face feels a little dry every day..."

"Oh? Second sister is embroidering flowers again?" Tan Chun nodded, "Are you embroidering Farewell My Concubine again?"

This second sister doesn't like to go out very much, and she has a bit of a non-invitation attitude. Basically, she never invites the sisters to get together. The sisters always invite her, or she can take the initiative to go to the sisters, which is considered... Very rare.

Among the sisters, in terms of embroidery skills, Yingchun is probably the best, followed by Xichun and Baochai. Neither Tanchun nor Xiangyun like them. Of course, they can't compare with Qingwen in terms of embroidery skills.

A few days ago, Yingchun got a picture book from somewhere. I thought the picture of Farewell My Concubine was particularly beautiful, so I kept thinking about how to embroider it with silk scarves. I saw it two days before Tanchun, and even joked about it. This Ji is the second sister, but who is the overlord? The second sister was hesitating and speechless, but her face was red with embarrassment. She didn’t pay attention to it before. Today, when Si Qi said this and was doing embroidery again, Tanchun was a little bit confused. Got interested.

 Could it be that the second sister has a sweetheart? Could it be Sun Shaozu? Tanchun shook his head subconsciously, impossible.

　　The second sister Sun Shaozu looked sad when she mentioned it. How could she be tempted by that man?

It's just that the second sister's appearance is clearly that of Chun. In terms of age, the second sister is not young, but the eldest master has never made a serious statement. He only said that he would marry the Sun family, but there was no concrete movement. The family man has been to the house a few times, and the people in the house have not had a good impression of him.

If it weren't for that man from the Sun family, who would the second sister fall in love with?

With the second sister’s stubborn temperament, how can she possibly get acquainted with men from outside? Could it be with the boys in the mansion?

Although this kind of thing is rare, it is inevitable that such bad things will happen in a wealthy family. The second sister has a simple temper. If she is deceived by others,...

Tanchun was also frightened when he thought of this. If that were the case, I'm afraid the eldest man would take advantage of his second sister's legs if he knew about it.

“Si Qi, has the second sister been out during this period?” Tan Chun pretended to be careless and asked casually: “Have any outsiders come to your Zhujin Building?”

Si Qi also felt nervous. Could it be that the third girl also noticed something?

Shaking his head, Si Qi also looked unconcerned, "Young lady also knows our girl's temperament. We usually only have a few sisters who interact with each other. Second Master Bao comes less now. When Second Master Lian is still there, I still come here occasionally, but now that Mr. Lian has gone to the south, there are even fewer people coming..."

Tanchun also slowly calmed down and felt that his guess might be wrong.

Besides, the second sister has a simple temper and is easily deceived, but she is always guarded by Siqi. With Siqi's temperament, how can ordinary people rely on her? I'm afraid that Siqi will type it out before he can even say a few words.

Who could that be? Tanchun was already sure that his second sister was in love with spring. The shy look on her face while holding the embroidered bandana must have been the result of someone having a crush on her.

 With a chance to meet that noble young master and fall in unrequited love can cause trouble?

 For a while, Tanchun was a little confused and compared his heart to his own. Wasn't he the same?

Seeing that Tanchun seemed a little distracted, Si Qi didn't dare to disturb him. He subconsciously glanced at Shi Shu with inquiring eyes. Shi Shu seemed to realize something and just shook his head quietly at Si Qi.

After walking through the stone path in front of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion from Fengyao Bridge to the Cuiyan Bridge, Tanchun woke up from his wandering and stopped: "Siqi, you go first, I'll go sit with Sister Lin." Huizi."

When Siqi went up to the Cuiyan Bridge and the figure disappeared in the shade of the trees under the bridge, Tanchun asked the attendant Shu beside him: "Servant Shu, I see that the second sister seems to be restless during this time. This Siqi is also very sneaky, what on earth are they master and servant doing during this time?"

Although Shishu and Si Qi both belong to the four maids of Qin, Qi, Shu and Hua, Si Qi and Ru Hua are children of the Jia family, while Bao Qin and Shi Shu are not. They were bought by the Jia family when they were young, so the two The relationship is not too close.

"When the girl said this, the servant also felt that it was true. This Siqi turned out to be reckless and fickle in his work. As long as she was around, her voice could be heard from far away in the garden. In the past, she was often seen making provocations. But it seems to have been much quieter during this period, but I see that she has been getting closer to sister Heping'er."

Shi Shu is also an astute person, and he is well aware that although the situation in Rongguo Mansion is calm and calm, it is still full of turmoil.

As the girls get older, Miss Bao and Miss Lin are said to have a home, but they have never moved out of Jia's house. The relationship that was supposed to be that of sisters-in-law seems to have become a little more delicate.

There is also Grandma Zhu who seems to be aloof from worldly affairs, but because Jialan became a disciple of Uncle Feng, she suddenly became active. She would either go to Miss Bao to talk or sit with Miss Lin, which made Hengwuyuan and Xiaoxiang The relationship between the museum, which is already somewhat sensitive, is even more delicate.

Miss Shi has also been living in the garden, and now there is a weird Miaoyu, a needle-hiding Xing Xiuyan, plus the maids and mothers-in-law of the girls from each family, and the garden seems to be calm. , In fact, the wind and thunder are hidden.

"Ping'er?" Tan Chun frowned, "I think the second sister-in-law's side is much quieter than before. Although she is still in charge of the government, but..."

"Girl, I heard that Second Grandma Lian doesn't want to take care of the affairs of the house. She said that she also recommends Grandma Zhu to take care of things together with the girl." The news from the servant is not closed.

"Hmph, just listen to what I'm saying. Are things in the mansion so easy to manage?" Tan Chun shook his head, "Second sister-in-law has been struggling for so many years, how can I take care of these things in the mansion? ? Which of these maids and women doesn’t have three relatives in the house behind them, either dragging the old men, or dragging the wives and grandmothers around, it’s not good to take care of them, it’s not good to care about them, they are carrying a name in name only, why bother? "

 “Isn’t there still Grandma Zhu?” Shishu asked.

"If Sister-in-law Zhu wanted to take care of it, she would have taken care of it a long time ago. Now her thoughts are all on Brother Lan. She never went to Sister Bao and Sister Lin every day. She just hoped that Brother Feng could do more. Can you put more thought into Lang Ge'er so that Lang Ge'er can become a scholar like Huan Ge'er and study in Qingtan Academy in the future?"

Tanchun’s eyes were full of resentment. Others could find reasons to talk to Brother Feng, but he was...

"Uncle Shi Shi, you are so fast." Feng Ziying frowned slightly, then relaxed.

Now that he has made up his mind to let Jia She go out and borrow this job, it is better for Han Xin to have as many troops as possible. However, Jia She moves too quickly. In just a short time, the lists piled up in front of him have already been filled with names. There were thirty or forty people. When I looked at it again, I saw that even some sentry officers and general-level officers and assistants were included. This was a bit too exaggerated.

Jia She smiled and said, "Brother Keng, since you have dropped your words, Uncle Yu will naturally do it with all his heart. You also know that our martial arts are all inextricably linked. Although the Rongning Jia family has been there for so many years, He didn't join the army again, but Yu Bo still had some connections outside, so Yu Bo asked casually, and they came to visit him. They were all close friends from far away, and Yu Bo was not easy to recommend, so he had to do it reluctantly. ,…”

Feng Ziying sneered in her heart, this guy is still reluctantly doing it, I'm afraid he just doesn't get what he wants.

After a cursory glance, Feng Ziying found that Jia She's connections were really good. The Chen family of Duke of Qi had three children, including Chen Ruishi, and the Qiu family of Jingtian Hou also had three, including Qiu Bingzhong, and the Liu family of Li Guoquan, including Liu Guoquan. Private, the one at the lowest level is actually a sentry officer, which must be a bit far away.

"Uncle Shi Shi, have you reached an agreement with them?" Feng Ziying was curious about how he went to tell the other party.

"It's almost the same. The real price is clear, and they all know the market price. In fact, this can't be hidden from anyone. The terms you negotiated with the Mongols have been passed back long ago, but the Mongolians asked for redemption together, so they let these people go. Capture,..." Jia She was a little proud, "Uncle Fool just let out a little bit of information, saying that you have contacts with one or two noble chiefs of the Mongols, and you may be able to redeem one or two of them, but there is no guarantee. It depends. The situation is first come first served, so..."

This guy used these methods so smoothly that Feng Ziying didn't bother to ask more questions and said bluntly: "Then what do they say about these ransoms? You can't run away in vain, Uncle Shi, right?"

"Hey, Uncle Yu also told them that it would be good if they could redeem themselves in advance to save a life. Don't expect to save much. Of course, maybe one or two noble chiefs that Brother Keng is familiar with can give them some discounts. Then It just depends on what you pick up,..."

Jia She salivated and said: "As for my side, it's easy to talk about. I also said that I will take half of the ransom. After all, this still needs to be taken care of, including finding someone to go to the Mongols to guarantee it. If the money is handed over, What should we do if the Mongols break their promise and refuse to release us?”

These half-truths and half-false words are familiar to Jia She. Jia She has also mastered these tricks of coaxing and deceiving, holding high and lightly, and being vague. He specializes in finding the other party's legitimate wife, The legitimate son avoids other people in the family to avoid interference, so he can quickly get so many targets who have already achieved their intentions.

Even the Chen family and the Liu family are willing to believe Jia She, and they probably really believe what Jia She said.

Feng Ziying made a rough estimate and found that the ransom amount on this list alone was already over 100,000 taels, which also meant that Jia She could take a commission of more than 5,000 taels.
