But Li Miao saw Jia She today. But he knew why Jia She came.
Apart from money, Li Miao now has nothing that Jia She can care about. But he was not afraid of being missed by Jia She. On the contrary, he hoped that Jia She would come to him to borrow money. Because Li Miao had long been thinking about Jia She's concubine Jia Yingchun.
Li Miao is thinking about the Twelve Golden Hairpins right now, but for the time being he has the desire to be a thief but not the courage to do so. Don’t be silly when you receive a gold hairpin delivered to your door? The cause and effect of Li Miao's twelve golden hairpins has also been preliminarily analyzed. Except for Jia Yuanchun who is temporarily not considered in the palace, the two who have the greatest cause and effect are Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu.
The Xue family's karma itself is too big. For the time being, Li Miao can't even think about it, and her small shoulders can't bear it. Not to mention Lin Daiyu, they are all involved too much with Jia Baoyu, let alone cause and effect.
Jia Baoyu is the absolute protagonist of the world of Red Mansions. It's not something Li Miao dares to touch easily now. Jia Yingchun is definitely the one with the least karma.
Among the Twelve Golden Hairpins, Li Miao felt that Jia Yingchun was the most pitiful. He also has the most docile personality, right? He was sold to the military general Sun Shaozu by Jia She for five thousand taels of silver, and was eventually tortured to death by Sun Shaozu, ending in a tragedy.
Of course, the Jia Mansion had been ransacked at that time, otherwise Sun Shaozu would not have had the courage.
Although Jia Yingchun is still young now, wouldn't it be better to settle down early? Don't fly away and find someone to go to when the time comes. Just because of Jia She's virtue, if Li Miao didn't win over Jia Yingchun, Jia She would turn her into money sooner or later.
Li Miao knew the effect of the Twelve Golden Hairpins on him, so Jia She came to borrow money as he wished. As for Jia She becoming so decadent now, there is nothing that can be done about it. Rong Guofu can take chances.
But he, Jia She, will not have it. After the death of the Supreme Emperor, a knife will fall on his head sooner or later. So I can only eat and wait to die.
Over the years, Jia She developed two major hobbies: drinking, playing with women, and collecting antiques. Especially collecting antiques is relatively expensive. The best way to play with women is to buy a few concubines and maids. It doesn't cost a lot of money. The average is only a dozen or twenty taels, and the more expensive ones are only a few hundred taels of silver.
Although Jia She was also wealthy, not to mention other things, his grandmother's dowry was a huge amount of wealth. His grandmother was the head wife of the Rongguo Mansion when it was prosperous. But there is no end to collecting antiques.
So Li Miao guessed that Jia She was interested in some antiques again. This thing has no bottom. You can spend dozens or hundreds of taels of silver, or tens of thousands of taels of silver. You can spend it casually.
Therefore, Jia She mentioned that Li Miao's tea was delicious and that the tea shop next to Rongning Street was doing well. Then it comes to that. He has recently taken a fancy to something and is short of some money.
Li Miao didn't talk nonsense to him, "How much money is General Jia short of?" Jia She didn't expect Li Miao to be so forthcoming. He came here just to test it out. After all, he didn't have any friendship with Li Miao.
Besides, he didn't come here to get money, he just made a temporary change. Jia She was in a good mood: "My dear nephew, how about five thousand taels?" After all, Li Miao was a close disciple of Li Shouzhong, so it made sense for the relationship between Jia's family and Li Shouzhong to be called a "nephew".
"Succeeded" Jia She quickly established the documents and received five thousand taels of silver notes. "Okay, General Jia, go slowly. Come back when you have time." Li Miao also politely sent Jia She out of the door.
So everything went well, and Li Miao knew that Jia She was greedy for money. The money he got usually made him spit it out, which was more painful than digging out his flesh. In the end, Jia Yingchun was mostly used to pay off the debt. Li Miao felt that Jia Yingchun was worth a lot of money in his mind.
Five thousand taels of silver is indeed not worthy of the daughter of the Jia family, let alone twelve gold hairpins? Not long. Jia She borrowed a total of 20,000 taels of silver several times.
As the housekeeper, Li Shi also reminded Li Miao. "Sir, General Jia is too diligent in borrowing money." Li Miao laughed and said, "It's better to be diligent." Li Shi was also stunned at the side.
Sure enough, a few days later Jia She came to the door again, this time not to borrow money. The money you borrowed still has to be repaid. Otherwise, Jia He couldn't afford to lose this face. After all, he was from a noble family, right? The key point is that I still feel a little heartbroken when I have to pay him back. It seems that I can give him whatever I want.
Jia She said to Li Miao caringly: "My dear nephew, it is not easy for you to be an official in the capital alone. Now that your wife is not around, you should have a room of concubines to serve you well. You are also an imperial scholar now. My dear fellow, ordinary girls are really not good enough for you.
"I have a concubine named Yingchun, who is fourteen years old. Do you think my nephew...?"
Jia Yingchun is fourteen years old, which is still false, and Xue Baochai is only fourteen years old this year, not yet fifteen. She is the biggest among these unmarried girls. Li Miao: "General Jia, isn't fourteen too young? Should I stop raising him?"
Li Miao was so happy that she was about to get another golden hairpin. But don't act too impatient. When doing business, stability is a must. "No, it's not small." Jia She quickly stood up, waved his hand and walked out the door.
Jia She will treat you as if Li Miao agrees. This is a major matter involving twenty thousand taels of silver. On the same day, Jia She sent someone to carry Jia Yingchun from home. For those who are concubines, it is enough to carry them into the house through the side door. Just like that, one of Jia Yingchun's twelve golden hairpins entered Li's house.
Li Miao asked Qiu Sheng to place Jia Yingchun in the main room. This is a place only a head wife deserves to live. Li Miao is still afraid that something will happen to Jia Yingchun. So after carrying it over and placing it, I felt a little relieved. After all, the cause and effect on Jia Yingchun should not be big.
Li Miao's next step is to appease Jia Yingchun. Are they the Twelve Golden Hairpins after all? It has always been Li Miao's dream. Besides, Jia Yingchun is now the daughter of the dignified Rongguo Mansion. Even if she is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the Grand Duke's Mansion. If Li Miao dared to accept Jia Yingchun casually, it would also hinder his official reputation.
Besides, Li Miao also has a good impression of Jia Yingchun, so that's fine, he's steady, and his personality is the type he likes. He originally had the third house, so he planned to move Jia Yingchun to his uncle's house so that he could marry Jia Yingchun.
As a result, doing so will have no impact on one's official reputation. Secondly, it also leaves a good impression for myself in front of other Jin Chai. Lay a solid foundation for future interactions with Jin Chai people.
Besides, now that Jia She has taken care of this matter personally, why not do it? It's only twenty thousand taels of silver, so cheap. If two hundred thousand silver could buy one golden hairpin, he would definitely buy twelve golden hairpins together. Are there still too many banknotes in the inner space? No matter how expensive it is, it is not negotiable.
When the young and old of the Jia family learned that Jia She had sold Jia Yingchun as a concubine, everyone from Mrs. Jia to all the golden hairpins looked depressed and unhappy, but what could they do? Discuss and discuss with you? I hope that new scholar in the Hanlin Academy will be kind to Jia Yingchun.
